Will we be going to The French Laundry on my actual birthday and spending an absurd amount of money? Very possibly yes.

Bucatini is the superior long noodle. I use it in my pasta con sarde recipe and now I use it for everything.

This term could also be used for endlessly scrolling Zillow looking at house interiors.

Yeah, some. I guess I have to just follow up with my PCP and see what she thinks.

I love to be a woman and just live in chronic pain with never a clear reason as to why. Am I dying? Am I about to get my period? NO ONE KNOWS.

There was an exciting few hours where I thought they were gonna take out my gallbladder but nope it was fine even though that’s where all the pain is centralized.

This is going to be the least Christian weekend ever.

Can’t wait to see Florence + the Machine in Mamdani’s city.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

I love how old books warning one away from witchcraft can't help but make it look cool as fuck

This was my favorite song on the album and I saw at the end that Aaron Dessner had a hand in it and when will that man stop helping women make me cry? Hopefully never.

I actually haven’t been paying much attention to the promised Ryan Coogler reboot of The X-Files so maybe @joshuampatton.com can kindly provide me with an update?

Then again maybe it is time for a (selective) rewatch of The X-Files. Just the hits. To be able to appraise the show clearly in context of the world today, as well as my own life. Might be a good thing to do before Ryan Coogler brings the scariest version of The X-Files to us.

We have indeed and I am pretty sure they are up in my office. What’s funny is that it would basically be the same costume, we would just swap badges.

At least watching The X-Files and clutching that book to my chest, I can feel closer to them now when the veil is thinning. I can hear my dad explaining the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly references. I can feel Alaina grab my arm when Mulder and Scully have a shippy moment. I can remember.
