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
Destruction
Tempus edax, homo edacior “Time destroys, man destroys more”
