Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass at the Dolby Theatre: an unexpectedly emotional celebration of some of the 20th Century’s most popular pop music. The setlist went deep into the TJB’s ‘60s catalog: all the era-defining hits, tons of deep cuts, and a Lani Hall tribute to Sergio Mendes. Olé!

The new Dior Sauvage flanker Dior Sauvage Rare is $16,500 for 350ml. Limited edition. Only 15. Smell like a gold plated Johnny Depp. I bet I could get this at Walmart for $14,300. If you are thinking of getting some, I charge $200 to talk you out of it, which is a bargain.

Wow, I guess this quote hit me because last night I dreamed I was playing an Infocom game from the '80s that said "A thing of no substance has entered the room. It is entirely featureless. It moves to the right. Or perhaps the left. Now it is gone. It has always been gone. What do you do now?"

Swapping "Hollywood success" with "Living in America", then putting it up as a supergraphic on Sunset Blvd.
On a recent @pastduepodcast.com, @mike-eagle.bsky.social was talking about how Hollywood success is like riding a rollercoaster except, "Damn, is there a way I could do this without having it shit in my heart on the way down?" and I'm gonna be thinking about that quote for the rest of my life.
