The newest installment in Rian Johnson’s murder mystery series, Wake Up Dead Man, is out this week in a super limited release. Its predecessor, Glass Onion, was, likewise, only in theaters for a week on account of Netflix wanting to get their movie on streaming quick as possible. Unfortunately, Dead Man’s release coincides with Thanksgiving,… Continue reading Projecting

Out And About
No post today, on account of being away this weekend. Fiery Furnace So this is a post of pictures instead. Golden tree from Gemini Bridges. Couldn’t tell you what kind of tree it is. Except it’s gold. Whale Arch. It’s a whale.
A New Story
I was fortunate enough to call New York home for many years and it truly is no hyperbole to say that the city is someplace special. To my immense joy, on Tuesday the city elected a new mayor — one who sees the city much the same way I do, a place where anyone can… Continue reading A New Story
The Myth of Vegas
I am not a fan of Las Vegas. I passed through it a few years ago and was, well, unimpressed. The Strip struck me as oddly artificial, like a simulacrum of a city like New York. A recreation in a controlled environment without the perceived dangers of a real city, where a visitor doesn’t need… Continue reading The Myth of Vegas
Why Blog?
I’ve been keeping this blog for over a decade now, posting something I’ve written most every week. Over those years, blogs have faded from prominence on the internet — the steady pivot to video that was already taking place a decade ago has firmly ensconced with video essays and whatever it is that’s raging on… Continue reading Why Blog?
Yosemite
I’m spending the long weekend in Yosemite National Park. Since half the fun of living in Southern California is being able to drive out to National Parks on weekends like these. Nothing pithy or meditative to say, just that the park is gorgeous and that the National Park Service is easily in my top-two US… Continue reading Yosemite
Busy Weeks
The aforementioned busy weeks are upon me. Here are thoughts on Three Quick Things: Movie: Mickey 17 A delightfully weird movie — which is basically what you’d expect from a movie directed by Bong Joon Ho. The comedic science-fiction movie dabbles in farce and satire with a healthy dose of existentialism, somehow bouncing around themes… Continue reading Busy Weeks
Midflight Occupation
I am, once again, on the verge of a busy few weeks. Or have been, if the fact that I missed last week due to being slammed through Sunday. And now I’m about to be away again, gallivanting for a bit and I still have to finish packing. There’s an eighteen-hour flight ahead of me… Continue reading Midflight Occupation
Small Rituals
When New York went into Covid lockdowns nearly five years ago things got… odd. Beyond being stuck at home for months on end there was that anxious malaise that seemed to permeate everything while we waited to find out if the bad situation was gonna get worse. Seemed like every time I checked the news… Continue reading Small Rituals
Still In This Fight
What a week, huh? Refreshing the Associated Press’ election coverage while at the office in Tuesday night was… crushing, to say the least. It wasn’t so much watching the person I wanted to win lose that hurt, it was seeing a majority of the electorate condone a leader with an agenda of blatant racism, misogyny,… Continue reading Still In This Fight
