Everywhere online now, every movie, every home video, has been passed through so many filters that people don’t look human any more. Nobody has any lines in their face, their teeth are florescent white, their eyes are filled in and have no veins. Nobody ever looks tired, or natural. Add to the mix the fact that everyone is...
I’m sitting in a dark hotel room on the eve of my first - and possibly only - total solar eclipse, with my partner and step-son, and I am positively awash with emotions....
I had a similar upbringing, and still love My Bloody Valentine like the day I first heard them in college. More, really. I was a little disappointed to find that my new favorite genre shoegaze really just boiled down to MBV for me though haha
Since there was some curiosity about what a sushi-bake is, here’s my own recipe for it. Sushi-bake is basically a “deconstructed” sushi roll where the ingredients are layered instead of rolled then baked in the oven. There are different variations of how it’s made, so this is my take on it. Apologies if I don’t have...
Ooh this reminds me of something I’ve had at a Chinese buffet with crab or surimi, cheese and I think celery or something in it. It didn’t have any rice involved but I’ll try it out, thanks for the info. I was also curious what a sushi bake would be, and it looks and sounds good!
I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.
Loved The Magicians! I didn’t even make it through the first book and I can’t remember what on Earth convinced me to watch the show, but I’m so glad I got on board!
I don’t usually give up on books, and it’s been a long time so it’s foggy, but my impression was that it was trying too hard to be harry potter/Narnia but adult! And edgy! And I couldn’t stand Quentin or really any of the characters. I only know one other person that’s experienced both and he also gave up on the book series.
Sometimes I am curious to try the books again now, but the show is so good I’d rather just rewatch it!
For some reason, every episode had me expecting that and then it would turn out to be amazing.
Edit to add: every episode I actually said, “this one will veer too far into teen drama, and I’ll have to drop out” but somehow they’d pull it off. It was really great television
That’s fair, and I do remember it being explicitly discussed and still I wasn’t into it. But I am always curious to try it out again. Art hits differently at different times, after all
My kitty had to be put down on the 20th and we’d tried so hard with meds to get her better, but it got worse quickly. She was 17 1/2 years old and I’ve been having such a hard time with it, but also feeling bad for being so down right now. I think this will also take me months and years, but your story helped. We’ve definitely been trying to love and pamper our other twerps : )

After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.
