As you may have noticed with October over we are back to the regular movie schedule of "whatever the hell I feel like playing", but let me know if you have requests for either specific movies or certain genres, or themes, or styles, or whatever else you happen to have a whim for. I very much welcome them.

It's also that time of year when we start to have a lot of big holidays, the next one being Thanksgiving. If you don't know, Thanksgiving is basically a day when your whole family gets together and cooks a massive meal with a lot of traditional dishes that usually have pretty high expectations set for them, most of all the turkey centrepiece which is a huge undertaking to properly cook. It's very stressful, a few people definitely drink too much, there will inevitably be a simmering tension all day because Daniela brought cornbread dressing even though she knows that cornbread dressing is Aunt Grace's thing, and now which cornbread dressing you eat is going to be a political decision weightier than a Presidential election and yeah, maybe Daniela's actually is better, but if you even look at it Aunt Grace is going to hold that grudge until the heat death of the universe and her daughter Ada makes the best boxes of homemade cookies at Christmastime so you're just going to have to suck it up and eat dry cornbread dressing. Then everyone sits around the table and says what they're thankful for and someone's going to use it to be passive-aggressive and Little Paul's going to go into way more detail about his new car than anyone cares about, but apart from that it'll be legitimately emotional and a nice reminder of all the good things in the world.

There's also a messy political history behind Thanksgiving because it was supposedly originally a feast where the pilgrims thanked the Native Americans for helping them out, except then there was a whole lot of genocide and slavery. Occasionally you meet people who actively don't celebrate it. But ultimately it is one of the biggest holidays in the US along with July 4th and Christmas.

Some people will probably want to do their own smaller things, I'm sure, but there will be a group dinner here at the facility and we will not be enforcing rules on who's allowed to cook what. Further details TBA.
