I keep putting off posting an update until I can take a sec to snap pics of everything. Well, I had a minute today but all my books are packed up for a move. So let's just dump 'em: Book 13: Dead Man’s Walk, by Larry McMurtry The third book in the Lonesome Dove series, and the first prequel...

Just makes me wanna watch Inside Llewyn Davis.

More importantly, is Munch part of the Tommy Westphall universe?

I've never watched this, but feel like between the on-camera talent and behind-the-camera talent, it's loomed large as a rosetta stone for tv for the next couple decades.

We failed on that front; we had a really great spring here (PDX's vibe has been off for a while, but it seems like it's returning) and decided to search locally through the summer, then expand the search if things didn't work out. We made a list of must-haves and agreed to be super picky and...

So proud that I have a reason to post in this thread: we closed on our first ever house on Friday! More importantly: today I received an email from my home insurer with an aerial photo of my house with a warning that if I don't trim the trees touching the roof by end of August they'll drop me...

Finally delved into Shadow of the Erdtree with the ng alt I’d been leveling up recently. It’s fun! Love the fresh sense of exploration. The Cold Backhand Blade is my new best friend.

sitting here by the fire, straight up beefin with the ghost of Tom Joad

Feeling very proud of my baking skills this week; for months and months my sourdough starter has been a bit sad. He forms bubbles and gets sour, but doesn't seem to rise and fall like he used to. I blamed the winter weather and the draftiness of the apartment, and put him on ice for the rest of...

Bye, Bob 😭 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/18/arts/television/bob-newhart-dead.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20240718&instance_id=129133&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=51792076&segment_id=172522&te=1&user_id=0fcd85f4ea8bb52d1bffd9ead1fca497

Saw this on the big screen a couple weeks back. Bridges needs to go back to ice cream school because he’s eating it so wrong here.

Longlegs is definitely a creepy, chilling viber. It’s also incredibly quiet with jump-scare-esque loud moments, which only raised my attentiveness and had me deeply questioning the plot and police (fbi) work.

I've read 21 of these, which doesn't feel half bad! Of those, I'd mainly question Trust and the Overstory; I read Trust last year and found it to be an onion: there may be layers, but you peel each back to find more onion. I read Overstory a couple months back and found it similarly melodramatic...

Based on my reading of the Nick Cave screenplay ~20 years ago...lots of places. iirc that version ends with Maximus living on across all history as soldiers/warriors across time. He maybe even fights the debil or something like that.

I guess it hasn't felt like a step back so much as a tumble into emotional oblivion, and (at least at this stage in the season) I'm not seeing any work or grappling on his part yet; he's just cooking and yelling and occasionally thinking about his ex.

I'm still crawling my way through the new Bear season (episode 3) but I'm a little baffled by Carmy's heel turn. Seasons 1 and 2 he's actively trying to work against his programming (both his personal trauma and the toxicity of high-class kitchens), has an emotional break in the walk-in, and...

Ad Astra backs this theory up as well.
