To quote Leftover Crack:

And all the boys in the straight-edge scene are in the basement huffing gasoline

I reconnected with my lifelong friend last weekend and it was great. It’s been about 4 or 5 years. Turns out we’d both gone through a lot of the same shit in that time and were able to share the trauma.

Maybe a hot take, but I’ve never really found horror to be scary at any age. I enjoy it more for the tension and suspense. And cool shit that happens in dark fantastical settings. In fact a lot of movies lose their edge when they reveal “the monster”. It’s better to imagine or only have a slight glimpse, or else it risks getting cheesy.

You sure it’s not this?

Does your partner want a horse, or is it just you?

It’s just for show

On the rare occasion I do order or go out to eat, I prefer food I can’t cook myself very well, like persian or asian food.

This is the way. I don’t have the means or qualifications to handle a rotating shawarma spit. Some things are best left to the experts.

There are a few around my desk because I often eat here, I get that bit.

Stop that. If you’re feeding them then you undermine the entire effort. Stop it.

My local arcade has a $5 entry fee, but games are free. The drinks are around $10 though.

I suggest you find a game to play

My work is measurable whether or not my physical body is being observed.

I’ve come close to the threat of homelessness and hold myself accountable to do a good job so that I can keep my job.

It might not be about laziness. Maybe it was for a pregnant woman with a craving. Or a stoner with the munchies. Or someone lost a bet.

Dinosaur ribs

I didn’t mind him in Parks and Rec for a while, but after some time he just had nothing to offer. He’s the weakest link for me.

Guardians and Jurassic Park could have been played by anyone and I wouldn’t miss him in those. He just seems like a nothing-burger that stumbles into success repeatedly.

What about him did you like?

Pedro Pascal. I don’t think I’ve even seen anything he’s in, and yet I feel I’ve been overexposed to his face. Nothing personal.

Robert Downey Jr. because he just has a smug aura and I don’t like Marvel movies. I’m sure he’s cool irl. Or not, idk.

Chris Pratt. Too much, go away.

Jason Momoa because he’s too perfect and I’ll never be him.

The Rock because he’s annoying and in everything. I liked him more as a wrestler.

Last Day of Magic is my favourite song by The Kills

This is what I do too. If there is something really stuck on then you can put it back on the stove and add a little water which will sizzle and lift the rest up with minimal scraping.
