One day left before Spring Break (and boy do I need it). I'm planning on staying up late every night to: play #videogames , listen to some #vinyl , and have a cocktail or two.

Gene Hackman was one of those actors where I immediately think of one movie and say to myself, "That was his best role." Then someone else mentions a different movie, so I think, "Okay THAT was his best role." Then someone else mentions a different movie, and so on.

Nas: Illmatic

One of my top 3 rap albums of all time. It flips back and forth with Paul's Boutique and To Pimp a Butterfly.

Just picked up some tickets to Sturgill Simpson in May. I am so excited for this show.

One of the main reasons why #BlazingSaddles is one of my all-time favorite movies is because it shows racism to be truly ugly. There is no way someone watching that movie can look at one of the racist characters and say "I wanna be just like that guy."

These two on the other hand...

I'm rewatching Everything Everywhere All at Once, I am again blown away by how amazing Stephanie Hsu's performance is throughout.

Based on a thread with @angiefrissore.bsky.social I have this scenario:
It's Friday night in the early to mid 90s. You're on your way to pick up the pizza you ordered but first you're stopping at the video store. What movies are you renting for some #FridayNightFrights ?

Randomly had "Haunted" by Poe pop into my head. This is one of those songs that is a beautiful gutpunch. Gets me every damn time.

"Come here
Pretty please
Can you tell me where I am
You won't you say something
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing"

Me: Reading Proust for my own enjoyment and relating to him way more than I thought I would.

Also me: Looking forward to staying up late and playing video games with my friends.

"I think there's nothing cooler than the person you underestimate that ends up being very intelligent. The guy who can talk about Porky's and can also talk about Kierkegaard. I guess in my own little way I've tried to fit into that as far as I can and branch on both sides." BK

He always wanted to be noticed. Even as a kid his parents barely acknowledged him. That was about to change. At the whistle the players huddle up. Bo jumps the rail and sheds his overcoat. The cold is surprising at a sprint.
"Shrinkage!" the crowd shouts.
Damn it.
