Gifts
My dad loved movies. We never knew what to get him for birthdays or Christmas so we all, independently, seemed to converge on giving him movie tickets and passes. When we sorted through his stuff, we found a cache of … Continue reading
Bumper
Saw this on a car in the parking lot at work. Never has a bumper sticker given me more pause.

Continental
Wandering around the Financial District with my friend Gavin in the (much more Lond0n-like) fog & drizzle, we rounded a corner and I asked, “Is that the Continental?!” Apparently, it’s known as the Beaver Building or the Cocoa Exchange and … Continue reading
Phoenix
Okay, yes. I saw Dark Phoenix in the theater. More out of resignation and for a sense of closure more than anything else. However, this Chinese poster almost makes up for the movie itself. Hope that’s a comfort to Chris … Continue reading
Taste
I was complaining to a non-geeky friend about the Amazon adaptation of Good Omens and kept coming back to the idea that, as much as I adore a lot of Gaiman’s writing throughout his career, a lot of things he … Continue reading
Brand
Walked to a bookstore, bought a book. Then walked to a movie theater, saw Booksmart. Because I like to stay on brand.
Handbook
Harmontown turned me on to a comedy podcast called Hollywood Handbook which I’m quite enjoying. As a throwaway sideline in one of their interviews, they started going off on the idea of “Chop wood, carry water.” (Apparently there are two … Continue reading
Insight
Back at USC, I took an entertaining and aphorism-packed television writing class taught by a real character, Stanley Ralph Ross. (He wrote about a third of the original Batman episodes!) One of his many, many, many tips & tricks that … Continue reading

Quantified
The last week of every year, I try to reflect and make new plans. At the end of 2010 (my annus horribilis), I decided to start tracking my mood in three categories: pleasure, calm, and energy. In 2013, I added … Continue reading

Cyclothymia
A wise therapist I saw for many years once mentioned—almost in passing—that I was “cyclothymic”. I didn’t really grok what he was saying at the time and I’m not sure what made me think to look it up now, but … Continue reading
Gangsters
I keep forgetting this so I’m writing it down. Congress has had more than one “Gang of Eight” over the years. There was a Gang of Eight in 2012 to deal with the “fiscal cliff”: Sen. Michael F. Bennet (D-CO) Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Finance … Continue reading

Assemble
Much like recent Oscar nights, I can trace what I was doing in recent years by where I saw each Avengers movie. The Avengers (2012) in Banff, Alberta. The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) in Shanghai on my first terminus adventure. The … Continue reading
Monger
Watching Game of Thrones, I realized there are really only four kinds of -mongers you ever hear about: cheese fish whore war Such an odd, specific collection.
Syzygy
Every so often, things align perfectly. NBC’s Thursday night schedule for the 2009-2010 television season was a Golden Age of comedy. Community, Parks and Rec, The Office, and 30 Rock were all on the air, back to back. Season 1 … Continue reading
