Afghan Whigs, “Gentlemen”
I’ve probably listened to this album more times than any Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains combined. And I listened to those a lot.
It’s angry, passionate, wistful, soulful, and a goddamn hourlong gut punch.

On a whim, I fire up The Lost Room and wonder what @christopherleone.com has been up to. Turns out he’s got a new #film @code3movie.bsky.social coming out in like a week! What strange serendipity.

It had been a minute since I’d last seen American Psycho and I have to say it holds up well. If anything the satire is sharper. Either that or my POV is wider. Plus, Guinevere Turner was a delightful guest! #film
So much is happening this weekend at Screenland! First up, our latest Friday Night Fright brings in a special guest as co-writer Guinevere Turner will be in attendance and doing a special Q&A afterwards!

Finished the purge of SmartThings in favor of HomeAssistant. #HomeAutomation can be a fun hobby but I had soured on it. Turns out the platform was the problem. The enshittification of SmartThings is really evident in hindsight.

I just watched Lake Placid this week so that’s a guarantee.
As per Joe Bob Briggs, BLOOD IN THE WATER :D
Aquatic creatures that *aren't* sharks, but are still fairly dangerous!

Not sure which concert I’m looking forward to more: Ghost next week or Castle Rat next month.

I’ve been a homeowner for over 20 years and when I needed one the other day, I realized I did not have a can of WD-40. How is that even possible?

Sometimes — often — when there’s a song or jingle in an ad I think about the dignity of the professionals that went into a studio and sang that shit into a microphone. Which is to say there might be an application for GenAI we can all get behind.

Hammond is a street #cat. He came around for food; we TNR’d him & he didn’t come back for 6 months, but then he stuck around. He moved in late 2022 and tomorrow we’ll say goodbye. He was all about that housecat life but FIV had other plans. He was a very sweet cat and getting sweeter by the day.

As an 80s kid, I really don’t get the Cassette Culture thing. They’re objectively bad in every way, and the only thing that was ever good about them was portability, which is a solved problem.

Roger Cobb (William Katt) has the best looks in this movie. Belt and suspenders. Monochrome with pleated chinos. And the best V-neck since the invention of the damn thing.

This track is not from “Puzzle” but from the follow-up “American Highway Flower”. Recorded on last decade’s iPhone. youtu.be/plgvhr0J89M?...

My @letterboxd.social star-rating rubric is hard to quantify at the top end. I think 4⭐️ means the movie is part of my life, and at 5⭐️ it’s part of my personality.

Designing an Xbox Elite controller makes me feel like Homer Simpson designing a car. Or, as the appraiser of my house said, “this is very taste-specific”.

Finally broke the Dry January fast with a bottle of RC Reserve. That’s Roman Coppola. Used to have 1% petite Syrah in here but lately it’s been 100% Syrah.

Spent the afternoon sifting through the stacks of the local used bookstore and came away with a decent copy of RAW’s Prometheus Rising, which is nice. #booksky 📚
