It's Friday night and time to get into it: a nice, leisurely look at the new Vermont Country Store catalog.

Missed Connections This is a note to the dude with the sign. Your sign said, "LET ME EAT THAT ASS." You were standing outside the Mobil station on Santa Monica Boulevard. It was about 5pm on Wednesday afternoon. The s...

King James is the only bible, obv. Also I wrapped them in a napkin and sterilized all of it at home.

Dropped my glasses on the floor of the Century City mall food court and gave serious and mortified thought to just allowing them to return to the earth. Alonso said, "You're not allowed to be a klutz and a germphobe" and I said, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

I have decided who gets into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I am aware that the demented, racist President said even more demented, racist things last night, and that he wants to make banks freeze accounts of people who can't show their papers. I am aware that...

Go to the supermarket early on Saturday morning with the other geriatrics and the music is The Partridge Family and Rose Royce, among other pleasures. Today's bonus was the checkout woman noting that I was purchasing fennel and leeks. She said, "You're a good cook," and I said, "I am."

Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

VERTIGO, reviewed by my mom My mother did not want any arthouse shit. "La Belle Noiseuse," I said. "It's French." "Subtitles? Ehhhhhhh." "It's also four hours." "No." This was the early 90s, by the way. And this was not a s...

movies my mother liked: singing nuns and ladies with guns. movies my mother did not like: deranged men telling women what to wear.

5:30-6:30 PM dinner is goated. just one more thing old people were right about all along

Photo from a book: Why do so many homosexual expressions refer to food? Food seems to have a mysterious fascination for homosexuals. Many of the world's greatest chefs have been homosexuals. Some of the country's best restaurants are run by homosexuals. Some of the fattest people are homosexuals.

He had to go back and watch the first one before watching and reviewing this one. I sat on the couch and annotated it for him because I speak fluent Evangelical. In other news, this film features a GILMORE GIRLS alt-timeline where Jess marries Lindsay.

Valentine's Day weekend is for candy, kisses, and American Cinematheque screenings of anti-fascist, Communist, experimental films from the great Portuguese director João César Monteiro, comrades.

trainspotting but it's hot dogs Paul told Margy, who told me and Alonso. When she said what it was, we said, "We will try this and probably like it." I had never heard of it, which is weird because if it's processed and against the...
