It was a Nazi salute. Twice. Anyone downplaying it, defending it, or calling it anything else is part of the problem.

I’ve got a big pop culture blind spot when it comes to David Lynch’s stuff and I’m not sure why. I think I’ll start with Twin Peaks after reading all the touching tributes today.

We had an early VCR and a “remote”—I use the term loosely—with only one button to pause and unpause recording. It was a deep, soft click of the button and I remember the stress of trying to get it just right when editing the commercials out of a TV broadcast I was taping.

I loved it too. I was legitimately disappointed when episode 2 suddenly ended.

Me: “They can’t recast Baylan Skoll! Stevenson was perfect. This is an outrage.”

Ahsoka producers: “We got ‘The Hound’ from Game of Thrones.”

Me: “My mistake. Carry on.”

This is interesting! If I wouldn’t change a thing about a movie, is it perfect? Or am I just overlooking the small flaws? Great question.

Currently trapped watching an episode of “Bar Rescue” in which regulating uniformity of the cocktails is one of the biggest correction points. Cut to: “Mixology expert” who demonstrates a new drink and doesn’t measure jack shit.

He looks so disappointed with me and whatever bullshit I’m up to.

Could not agree more.

Outstanding article!

I needed this. Thank you.

I changed a fluorescent light in my kitchen tonight and the urge to swing the dead bulb around like a lightsaber was almost impossible to resist.

I’ve noticed lots of new followers lately, so…welcome! Thanks for finding me here. Random anecdote: I had a stranger approach me on the street tonight to ask for advice about his beard. That was a first. I also realize that I should probably use a newer picture here so this post will make sense…
