Went walking through a part of town I’d never gone through before today and spotted these two places literally right across the street from each other. More than a little ghoulish if you ask me. Can’t be a coincidence.

After thirty plus years of hearing how Tarantino had shamelessly ripped it off, I finally got to see Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE last night. Good little movie. Has a weirder, goofier sense of humor than a lot of Hong Kong action flicks from that time and of course Chow Yun-fat oozes charisma. 1/2

Hey, look. The Cinematrix is still being sponsored by that atrocious Ryan Murphy/Kardashian trash. Skipping again.

This app is fine for chatting with people about movies and cracking bad jokes, but it's basically useless for keeping up with people or organizing things. I hate the idea of getting back on Facebook to keep up with friends, but considering it now that I'm moving back to Chicago.

Not even kidding, I had to kick an undergrad out of the library today who was dressed up like the green witch from WICKED. She was going around in character trying to warn people about the Wizard.
Let that sink in: she was bothering law students studying for finals the week before Thanksgiving. 1/2

Saw today's Cinematrix was sponsored by that Ryan Murphy/Kardashian lawyer show and decided that they could go ahead and fuck off.

Turned on @chirpradio.org when I got to work and they played "She Bangs the Drum" by Stone Roses, "Ask" by The Smiths, and "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush in a row because they are apparently pandering to me today.

I'm super-tired and have to be up a little earlier than usual for work tomorrow, so for the first time in a long time, I'm gonna be a goddamned adult and go to bed before 10:00 to try and get a good night's sleep.
