the end of a year is like a sewer.

some see a past filled with crap and regret, foul memories of yesterdays flushed into darkness but not forgotten.

others see it as a transition to something better, a rush towards transformation. Renewal. Opportunity.

both true—

for sewers imitate life.

Not so much a resolution as a multi-year daydream, but I'd like to spend a weekend in each Kentucky county. If I can hit 12 a year, I can get through them in a decade.

Top media of the year for me is:

Sinners - Movie of the year. No notes, and no commentary to add. I've never left a movie theater feeling as satisfied.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.

10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!
