I'm starting a low FODMAP diet today. I'm dreading the restriction.
But I am at last accepting it as the best way to investigate whatever is up with my gut.
But, as a patient, the support and delivery of info around gut health problems is… baaaad.

One of these days, I'm going to want to talk about David Lynch's particular use of light and sound.
Specifically, why I think it's different from how other filmmakers use them.

Practically, all Dyson products are bad design.

watching them, reading them, hearing them… inferring them!
Telling stories, mind you, well, I'll need a little time—to get my words in order. You understand.

I love anytime I try to call a customer support number 90% of it is recordings being like "go to our website just do this on the website get off the fucking phone and go through our extremely unhelpful website that will not answer your question at all"

A fun fact about Pringles.
An even more fun fact about them is that they went to court to argue (successfully!) that Pringles don't contain enough potata to be a potato crisp (or chip), so they could pay less tax.
I do love that moustache though.

Today in "Wait, WHAT?" I learned that Gene Wolfe — recondite, abstruse SF/F author Gene Wolfe — invented the machine that makes Pringles potato chips. It's on the company's own FAQ, which also implies his signature mustache may have inspired their ad mascot. www.pringles.com/en-us/faq.html

I was motivated to see the film Lee after reading this in The Conversation.
It reminded me of first learning about Lee Miller's photography aged 18, wanting to record the world I saw.

I've just been to see the wonderful film Lee.
About the extraordinary photographer and photojournalist Lee Miller, it is moving, captivating, resolute.
I didn't expect to cry. But that's the wondrousness of art that makes things feel real.
