    666th diary entry!

    Quite the reflective film journey with this one.

    While I’ve made a point of celebrating other personal numeric milestones, this is admittedly one I’d been anticipating for an unusually long time. I asked friends and fb for recommendations, planned for the ideal viewing experience, made a list of favorite contenders for the honor, and spent days settling on the winner.

    The exhaustive process made me question why I had devoted so much time and energy to ~the…
