Woke up at 2am and realized the only way I’m getting back to sleep is to go downstairs and surrender to the brownies and a glass of milk.

@lyndonwise1 Hmmm. I recorded it not too long ago on TCM.

#NowWatching for the first time: DRUNKEN ANGEL (Japanese, 1948) by legendary director Akira Kurosawa and actors Toshiro Mfune and Takashi Shimura (whose brilliant role in Kurosawa’s IKIRU (1952) is seared into my brain.
