new-ish novel(2021?) dealing with listlessness, ambition, and "love". Joyce-ian?(i've never read Ulysses). set in LA. very contemporary style--there's one sequence involving a trip on some kind of super potent MDMA that made me feel like my head was melting while I was reading it. wanted to restart it right after finishing the last page.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donβt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnβt exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itβs even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

apathy and inaction are incongruent with happiness. i'd rather be annoying than forgotten.

i keep waking up in no mood to hear any music, podcasts, etc. and just focusing on the sounds of the commute. tune into that person mouthing off their lover on the phone. listen deeply to the screech of the subway as is settles into the station. embrace the sirens of passing emergencies. all are worth lending your ear to.
