My toxic trait is "Vans without socks"

Thinking about him (Jimmy Stewart as Ransom Pritchard in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance)

Finally a petard to call my own. Somebody is about to get hoisted. Not me, obviously

Blanked when I got to the deli counter and came up with “It’s a beautiful day for a sandwich” to have something to say

Some important personal news: I'm one measurement away from memorizing the Smitten Kitchen blondies recipe

Yes and that’s why it’s great

welcome to bluesky. you will be assigned one of two favorite movies, Heat or Michael Clayton. there are no others.

There's tension in the air this week as @mbcnotnbc.bsky.social brings the HEATED RIVALRY - the book! - but it's almost too much for @maxrebosroadie.bsky.social and @jondauthor.work when they're joined by hotshot guest @christyadmiraal.bsky.social to chat all things forbidden romance hockey smut!

God: you can either win an Oscar or the Knicks- Chalamet: KNICKS God: I didn't even finish- Chalamet: BING BONG

FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS

When you're being mean to me this is who you're being mean to

An evergreen recommendation: Museum of the Moving Image is the only place you can see Sopranos logo concept art, a sketch of how Big Bird works, The Skeleton Dance, and me wearing a cardigan that I bought because it looks like a Tony Soprano shirt when it's buttoned, all in one place

The Spotify algorithm is the most powerful and intuitive because it's the only one that has me down to "All she needs to be satisfied is the Pixies' 'Gigantic' on a loop."

SPOTTED: American Canto in a little free library in Astoria, Queens

You guys ever experienced sondering?

This was actually incredible

Didn't wear my Orpheus costume to see Hadestown for the [redacted] time but to be fair to me, it's a Reeve Carney Orpheus costume and I'm not even sure who's playing the sad puppet boy right now

I was distracted enough by how terrific DC, as a city, still manages to be that I only made one There Will Be Blood joke the entire weekend

I once said on here that my gender is the midpoint between Seymour and Audrey in Frank Oz's version of Little Shop but actually it's this. The Frank Oz connection is a beautiful coincidence

This was in case you wanted to eat Nemo's skin after you saw the movie

Every time I'm listening to Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" I am inevitably interrupted and have to start it over so I don't miss anything important, is this relatable?

I still have a few Funko Pops at work, four of them are Oscar Isaac, I call them the Oscars Isaac, and they look like this

I helped the Cubs win on Saturday by doing a shot of Malört immediately before going to Wrigley Field. Also, I am now so accustomed to Malört-adjacent digestifs that it tasted mostly OK 🎶 Hey, Chicago, what do you say 🎶

Rare sincere post: I'm curious how other people approach individual therapy sessions. Do you make a list of what you want to discuss ahead of time, prioritize what's most important to cover in the moment, go on vibes, or...?

In the park with my dog, a car rolls up with the windows down, the boys are back in town-style dudes within, blasting Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason” and I discovered the cure for male loneliness you’ve all been looking for.

Please enjoy this photo of Paul F. Tompkins at Varietopia last night

still reading Bleak House, very funny to me that there's a bunch of shit clearly Going On but it all keeps getting pushed to the side every twenty pages so Charles Dickens can be like, attention reader: I have developed a New Buffoon

Twister is a cool movie because there’s a scene where Bill Paxton’s mother figure tells him to “go out and beat this thing” like he’s going to stop the tornado? Or kill it? its unclear what she means. Anyway he should’ve shot the tornado with a gun.

Experienced female privilege last night (the bathroom line during the intermission of Barry Lyndon was much shorter than the men's)

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, all fighters' default poses are a standard T-pose with arms out and open eyes, except for Yoshi. He has a unique default pose that gives him lowered eyelids that result in a smug or satisfied expression.

Every time this tailor posts a photo of their workspace, it looks like their dog is a tailor and he's showing off the garments he made. IG z.o.e.y.a.t.e.s

The Andrew WK thing

Calling it early: this year's Halloween costume will be Tom Wilkinson Off His Meds Carrying Baguettes in Michael Clayton. I simply can't get enough of no one knowing what I'm supposed to be. Please forget about this within the next six months so it's a fun surprise later

I am always warning the head of the Catholic Church about theological matters, don't see why everyone is so up in arms about this one
