It’s incredible how fragile printers are. Mine is refusing to print a single page ever since I unplugged it and plugged it back in.

I met my ex-wife at a showing of Texass Taintsaw Assacre. Your advice is WRONG.

I wrote this to help you, but I really wanted to just go ape shit on some Halloween opinions. Also, I wrote the word “fuck” on a children’s book, which might be a career high or low, depending.

No one’s going to tell you this, but you can eat as much mozzarella cheese as you want. It’s delicious. Make a lunch out of it.

Art Tatum piano music has the ability to alter your mind and mood. It’s incredible. He’s incredible.

After 5 years in Westchester, I found a Pizza Hut! Celebrated with a pan pizza, I haven’t had one in years!

They changed the recipe. For the CRUST.

I’m losing that address.

My 8-hour day in the car shop.

EK-Ultra @ethankaye.bsky.social · 7d

Car shop, last week: It’ll take 3 hours but we don’t have the part.

Me: I’ll come back next week.

Me, today: I am back to get the car fixed.

Car shop: Ok.

(Two hours later)

Car shop: We don’t have the part. We’ll have it in two hours.

Me: Can I just come back next week?

Car shop: No.

Although I was really productive this week, if I had the chance to do it all again I think I’d just like to watch “Little Witch Academia” and devour pizza after pizza. Different pizza brands though.

I watch shows and movies from the 90s and the teens have their posters hung on the wall at weird angles. This is torture for me. I would never do this. Posters should be parallel to the floor.

Satirizes it by sending us down rabbit holes and distracting us from the romance/crime elements. It even comes up in the music themes that constantly repeat, like the music in Invitation to Love. Lynch has a “standard” soap opera in his surreal one to tell you what he’s riffing on. (End)

EK-Ultra @ethankaye.bsky.social · 12d

Characters through countless surrealistic trials that draw them away from what normally would be the beats of the soap opera - there’s a supernatural element, quirky characters, things that you focus on aside from the plot. It still has the serialized soap opera DNA, but Lynch 5/?

Actual soap opera playing throughout the show, “Invitation to Love” that everyone in town seems to watch. Twin Peaks isn’t a drama, it’s a soap opera. The same mix of characters gets into different scrapes every week, carrying different threads and stories. But like Blue Velvet, Lynch puts the 4/?

Outsmarting him, because the villain is chaotic and seriously dangerous. It’s Lynch saying, well what if Encyclopedia Brown got in way over his head?” It plays with the genre conventions before knocking them aside for amplified risk.

Twin Peaks is seriously a soap opera. That’s why there is an 3/?

In Blue Velvet, Lynch asks “What if the teen detectives start out the case as normal, but the details of the case don’t let them?” Instead of easy answers through logic puzzles, the scenarios Jeffrey and Sandy are put through are unpredictable to the extreme. The villain can’t be stopped by 2/?

I’ve had a theory about David Lynch for a while. Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks are both satire.

Blue Velvet is a satire of kid detective media, like Encyclopedia Brown and the Hardy Boys. Twin Peaks is satire of soap operas.

Both apply filters to the genre that amplify the uncontrolled elements.

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 12d

I love how Blue Velvet becomes David Lynch's version of a "coming of age" story. You imagine that you're all grown up and then you go on a joyride with Frank Booth and learn that adulthood is a parade of countless unknowable and bizarre cruelties. Your childhood hometown is full of severed ears.
