The view from the Psyonix offices are better than my office view. By a lot.

It’s the little things in life…

My first book series growing up. Still have my box set and love these books.

Such as in Delta Slims story - the fact the Slim and Rice could make the police money with their performances kept them alive, but Rice’s casualness with his money got him killed.

Thank you for writing this. I hadn’t considered the role of money in all its various forms and functions through out the film. Made me reconsider its role everywhere in the film.

This has been my entire week unfortunately. I sleep solid for like 2 hours then laying in bed occasionally looking up at the clock to see how much time has passed. I’d really like it to stop.

FLCL for the music and the just utter bizarre chaos of its presentation.

I thought JT was crazy for this idea, but it absolutely makes sense when I see it all in context. Also, our voice actors (Emma Gregory, who you may know from Baldur's Gate 3, and Liam O'Brien, who you may know from Critical Role) performed each of their lines in BOTH VERSIONS.

My architecture column today. "To show off these structures that are being developed in Chicago, I think it’s a really beautiful art," Chicago Architecture Center Chief Marketing Officer Lauren Bakos said. "And it’s sad that it’s kind of a dying one."

The first Star Wars episode they did was the best. They tried to do it again later in that first series but it didn’t quite have the magic of that first go.

Ended up seeing that as a rental later on but 100% the same reaction. Mesmerizing.

Ticket stub to see Clerks in 1994

Actually it was the Lowes Piper Theater. I went to the 8pm show on Friday 11/04/94 and paid 7.50 for the privilege.

I saw Clerks at the Mclurg Court Theater in Chicago. The same theater I saw Pulp Fiction, Heat, and a reissue of The Wild Bunch.

Most of that went to the marching band

I only need No. 1
