Great horror is VERY visual, with little sustained dialogue.

What horror films have a great, almost continous, dialogue going so I can listen without wondering too much about what's going on, visually?

...and all of a sudden there were vampire monsters trying to kill us.

We had to survive.

Greetings.

I like listening to the stories/parables on youtube. One particular one really opened my mind. It was about a dull young monk who couldn't keep his teachings in his head. The master gave him the chore of sweeping. And the young monk became a fixture at the temple door, described as part of the landscape. When asked "Why did Bodhidharma come from the west?" he picked up his broom and smiled.

What other parables are about chores?

I really don't want to sit in front of my computer all summer. I usually travel, but this summer will be spent taking care of my father in law. I'm prone to getting sucked into politics and reddit...which provide TREMENDOUS dopamine hits (ADHD).

I've been sweeping my garage zendo and walk ways. I'd love to listen/read some parables/stories about Zen and Chores.

Gassho!

Go!

I have a 2 month unpaid layoff ($ saved) in a week and would like to try monk mode for a chunk of it.

Habits I'd like to explore (decrease and increase)

Reddit

Yahoo news/political news junkie

TV/YouTube

Computer usage

Reading

Art

Meditation

Cooking/eating

Water

Unique physical activities

Yoga

Silence/solitude

Does it make sense to tackle so much in one go?

How have you done it?

How routine are you?

Any other insights?
