Movies from the 1930s with psychiatry and neuroscience as plot devices have some loopy ideas about how brains work.

We had something of a blow around here last night, now most of the leaves that were on the trees are on the ground.

I watched The Women (1939) which is bonkers and hilarious and doesn't have a single man appear on camera. I've seen it before and I really thought that the husbands appeared in the final scene but maybe i'm mixing it up with another film or maybe it's just genius and makes you conjure up scenes in your mind.

for you metric system people, I'm a 15° person in a 30° city.

was reminded by a passing reference to Hulk Hogan in the latest episode of RIP Corp that Jesse Ventura tried to organize pro wrestlers but Hulk Hogan ratted him out to Vince McMahon.

I'm a 60° person living in an 80° city.

As their signature “maneuver” remains the gold standard in choking prevention, Heimlich & Co enjoyed another profitable year, though analysts warn that their failure to expand into new areas of accidental death prevention could hamper long term growth

Watching Hal Hartley movies on criterion like reliving my childhood

I hop on my bike because there are beautiful dark clouds and an ominous wind; within 10 minutes the sun is out, blazing away. Honestly, why do I even bother?

feeling nostalgic at the moment because NYC is fully sepia toned
