Finally replaced the gasket on my Gaggia yesterday and cleaned the machine. The shots it’s pulling now are so gorgeous you could put them on the wall, if for some reason I hadn’t drunk them. But I did, so you can’t.

I love that, in a genre known for its braggadocio, Run DMC wrote a song about how it's actually kind of hard to rock a rhyme.

In the 90s, my college had a planetarium, and I took a course & learned how to operate the device, compose a lesson, and I put together shows about parallax and constellations changing over time. (Set to instrumental songs by the Cure)
