Alright, cinema ticket for "Pan's Labyrinth" screening bought! (on 30th of October - Friday this week, on 18:00) I usually rather chill at home on weekend, but this film will be totally worth going out! It's mesmerizing and one of my inspirations for getting interested in +
fairy tales for adults.

"Pan's Labyrinth" will be played on 30th of October in cinemas in my city, that's too cool! It would be nice to go... I might buy the ticket.
Also, man, I know I will benefit from reading the self-help books on time management and digital minimalism. But I find them not so interesting to read, I would rather read something else. But I need to endure and keep going!
I might just borrow Perrault. I'm not sure. I am curious. And would ideally buy all the fairy tales. But they can be a bit expensive. Also, I'm curious about the Grimms' fairy tales book based on the first edition. It's a shame it's borrowed. These are a bit short, like 260 [+]
I got reminded of this quote from Anne Rice's "The Interview with the Vampire":
"Aren’t there gradations of evil? Is evil a great perilous gulf into which one falls with the first sin, plummeting to the depth?’"
Although later there is a contra:

I'm considering buying Perrault's fairy tales besides Grimms' fairy tales. Though these scholarly first editions are a bit expensive...
I'm downloading more art from "The Path" game (based on "Red Riding Hood"). And I've listened through its soundtrack again. I really like such eerie, unsettling yet meaningful, existential fairy tales and takes on them.

Co wstrząsnęło średniowieczną Europą bardziej niż wojny, głód i czarna śmierć?
Rozłam w samym Kościele.
Gdy papieże zaczęli walczyć o władzę, zachwiały się fundamenty świata, którego Kościół miał być ostoją.
Wielka Schizma Zachodnia. Jak runął boski porządek?
O tym w analizie zespołu @KHistoryczny, ale także książce ''Odległe zwierciało'' Barbary Tuchman, polecamy!

Also it was interesting to read in "Digital minimalism" about how smartphones and their functions have developed. And how their creatures have imagined them. Starting with the very first Iphone.
I read "Digital minimalism" a bit yesterday too. Some progress is being made. ^^These still are general intro chapters. But I enjoy the stories of other people being addicted to tech. It's nice to see I am not alone. Also, it's nice general look at the world with and without [+]
