Entertainment for the Hallmark Holiday


Happy Valentine’s Day, brought to you by Hallmark.


Fell into a rabbit hole about chemical lobotomies—don’t ask. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind resurfaced—Jim Carrey, heartbreak scrubbed clean like plaque. There was another film I saw during the pandemic, the details blurrier. A woman at a clinic, laying out relics of a love she’s trying to erase—a teddy bear among them. I don’t remember the title, or much else. Just that urge to forget. That part still lingers like humidity—thick, inescapable. Sometimes I wish the forgetting could be real.

Saturday Matinee: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Sometimes I daydream about clinics with tidy paperwork and machines that promise closure. I imagine placing every remnant—every song, every late-night thought, every bear-clutching piece of hope—on the conveyor belt. So I try to delete all the memories.

“My friends tell me I shouldn’t listen / To the voices that go round in my head / So I try to delete all the memories / But you’re really hard to forget”
