something for everyone

it's thursday.
we start renovating tomorrow at my place of work (who says that?), which means i have to pack up the rest of my area by this afternoon for a move. i'll be working out of a conference room for the next two weeks.
i also have a stack of contracts to deal with. therefore, i am short on time so in brief-

i went to a screening of Brothers of the Head last night.
unique and brilliant are words that come to mind.
superficially, it's about conjoined twins who turn their disability into a hedonistic punk act.
subtextually, it's about is love, dependence, and fragility.
i want to write a full review because this doesn't begin to grapple with the beautiful intricacies of it.
additionally, i was fortunate enough to speak with the filmmakers and lead actors so hopefully i'll have time to write in greater detail tonight.

here are bits and pieces from around the web to keep you entertained until then:
