Monday Saturday

The knowledge the Wrigleyville has a Hattie B’s Hot Chicken means I’ll be making a detour tomorrow. See ya Saugatuck. Well kind of see ya.

I walked into the building this morning to the sight of a single bagel being Door Dashed. I wondered if the fees exceeded the items cost.

Let me roll it?

Good lord. The Thunder exist based solely on vibes. Ngl Presti is great for this. Knowing the alchemy of a team matters more than anything.

Dealing with providers today.

Booked a NYC trip in August. Looked to see who the Yankees are playing and my lord does it seem like fate.

I’m sure the UAE leaving OPEC and the markets opening had nothing to do with this. Seriously, really starting to hate it here.

This can’t be legit, right?

Teaching

See it every day but some days it still catches me off guard.

Is this real life?!?!?!?!?

While grilling out tonight, the neighbors are getting a lesson in 90’s pop funk.

I never lost hope.

Had the News Mix channel on. CNN: Talking heads BBC: Talking heads. Fox News: Shit. Blown. The. Fuck. Up.

Andrea is gone and all of the kids are at work. I’ve done what every other red blooded American male would do. Watched Soderbergh’s Solaris.

Apple Music coming through with the perfect Treadmill song to remind me I was in much better shape in my 30’s.

Couldn’t find Andrea at the warehouse club because she’s both tiny,and she had gone into the freezer door to grab something from the back. She’s not amused with my Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich jokes.

Hmmmmmmm

The people breaking ground on our new building gave me a construction hat. It doesn’t mean I’m an engineer.

My unwatched Criterion stack is growing. Flower Moon is going to have to leap from the others I fear.

I can be there in 3 hours to drive him to the airport.

Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie is hilarious. But it’s also legitimately 99 minutes spent going “wait, how did they film that?”.

Still refuse to believe this “Salt Shed” exists but here we go.

And now for my annual “wait is this Chicago concert venue new or just renamed, and if the latter, where is it?” search.

On a boat tour. At the dock I have to stare at “his” building. No wonder they serve liquor on board.

TRIPLE. CROWN.

Came into work for one day on my vacation to teach a lecture. I’ve made a huge mistake.

Yoooooooooo

It’s beautiful.

Just sitting here thinking how The Bride sets a dance sequence to Puttin on the Ritz and getting angry all over again.

When you know why the 16 year old is still in bed on a Monday in Illinois.

I had to walk from the ER to the Admin offices, which is about half a mile all together. This came on my Apple Music and, Heat parallels aside, for seven minutes I was in a Michael Mann hospital drama.

The gasp I let out while browsing the TV schedule for tonight was probably heard in Louisiana. Well done TCM.

One of four or five Onion posts I expect to see every year.

Hard not to imagine 1600 Pennsylvania resembling that of the Stratton Oakmont Offices.

I mean at least he can be in DC for the next January 6th.

@scotttobias.bsky.social sorry to be a farmer outer but can you recommend the best theater for someone staying in the Gold Coast? Is the AMC new City the best option? Thanks in advance!!

The Bone Temple is kind of a miracle. It’s both thoughtful and terrifying, and further proves that season tickets to Ralph Fiennes are a welcome investment.

My departmental meetings today have been Infectious Disease, Psychiatry, and Surgery. VERY mentally prepared for the Bone Temple.

Yes I have a reservation at Smith and Wollensky’s but I believe a stop has to be made first.

Merry Christmas to all!!! We are doing pretty good over here!

Today. A: (as I come upstairs while she is watching The Godfather on Showtime) So did they shoot the Don because of the Horse head? Me: What? Have you never seen The Godfather? Anyway, watching the 4k’s of the Trilogy.
