Materialists
What I understood most is that Celine Song loves MMF and believes that a theatre guy would go to Birdy’s and not get a photostrip.
This is the bagel order from the shop on my block. They know me and my order at this point, but the price went up by like $2 in the last 4 months and I decided to buy the ingredients myself to see what I can make happen…
Ingredients
- Whole wheat everything bagel, halved
- Lox spread cream cheese
- Tomato, sliced
- White onion, thinly sliced
Instructions, but more like, uh, my process
Pop the bagel in the toaster for a while. Salt and pepper the tomatoes and let them rest. Toss the onion in a bowl of ice water, it’ll take some of the edge off. Once the bagel is toasted, let it rest otherwise the cream cheese will just run and get thinner.
...I ate a taco bowl so big and so fast that it sent me on an immediate post meal walk, the kind that made me glad to be alive and love the little miracles of life.
The weather was cloudy and breezy and it was soooo beautiful and I could feel the walk help with the massive meal I had.
Saw some foliage in the water by the ferry dock.

Blade II
Blade is so cool and sexy.
Sound of Metal
Sad :( Riz Ahmed does a fabulous job again, being so convincingly pathetic and vulnerable and resentful for his newly acquired disability.
What I kept thinking about whenever I noticed the really effective sound design of this movie was this piece called I am sitting in my room by Alvin Lucifer. I came across it on Tumblr a few weeks ago and somehow managed to listen to all of it (not all at once, though I really think that would be the most cool) and the gradual convergence of the resonant frequencies of the room and the vocals into one ambient beam of acoustics kind of scared the shit out of me.
...Heard the Doppler effect of someone on the sidewalk outside my house sneezing as they walked.
I’m a bit delirious with my own ailment, but it really touched me. #WeAreOne
