I'm obsessed with the rad granny in the background of this scene in Blue Velvet

"She just showed up on set like this; just like Robert Blake in Lost Highway" -my imaginary commentary

We had our premiere for Awkward Gawker this weekend at Oklahoma Film Exchange! I felt fancy wearing two necklaces

Happy opening day! Thunder went extra with a gift to season-ticket owners #nba #okc #thunderup

In a “kids are gonna be alright” moment, I’m very pleased to discover there is a Gfunk/rock-inspired hip-hop duo named Paris Texas, after the Wim Wenders classic starring Harry Dean Stanton #musicsky

Last night I made a black bean sauce fortified with five dried chilies and chipotles in adobo, and a roasted poblano/cilantro/avocado sauce for slow-cooked, pulled chicken. Enchiladas topped with Oaxaca cheese, using local tortillas #homecooking #cooking 🍽️🍜

Remember when Mr. Cooper got a contract with the Tim Hardaway/Chris Mullin Warriors???

I’m only here (our house) for the food

First time making buffalo chicken dip. I’ve had it once or twice butわthat’s an S-tier dip. Also made guacamole and black-eyed pea salad with roasted corn, cucumber, dill, and red pepper in red vinegar/olive oil dressing #cooking #SuperBowlEats 🍽️🍜

Text version of the recipe. My digital scale broke, so I used cup measurement conversions well enough

Here’s the recipe I used for the crumpets

Adult McMuffin with homemade tarragon mayo, English muffins (crumpets), melted Swiss, dijon-balsamic ham, and eggs

I made English muffins for the first time! I’ve wanted to make them for years since it was a technical challenge on #gbbo years ago. #baking #crumpets

I’ve learned a lot during the @blankcheck.bsky.social early Spielberg series.

1) He directed the first true episode of Columbo (after the pilot)!

2) He’s such an SNL fan that he was at every taping its first 5 seasons and is backstage “more times than he isn’t,” even to this day

I also got these two!

It’s been a stressful few weeks. I started drawing again after I got a beginners book for Christmas. I got into it a few years ago because it helped with some PTSD, but fell off.

I added a fee books and upgraded my pencil/eraser/blending tools this month. Finding comfort where I can!

Excited for the first football-free Saturday with a fun NBA slate starting with Paris game. Nuggets are playing great basketball. I wish wolves had Dante. I dunno how the Mavs have won a few of these games without Luka and Lively. It’s always funny to get Kyrie rematch against the Celtics #nba

Stopped by Beet Box and had a lovely veggie sandwich with tons of sprouts 🌱 and black bean hummus. They’re known for their house made chick’less patties, but I wasn’t in the mood for fried food. I wanna go back for the burger

I’m concerned “we haven’t even seen Hartenstein and Chet together” might result in a missed opportunity for the Thunder

Assuming Chet or JDub can be a consistent no.2 scoring option in halfcourt offense of tense playoff games, might be too much to ask. Cup Final was a great example #nba #skyhoops
