“Holy" or "The Wrestle" by Frightened Rabbit.

“Mountains of Your Head" by Buffalo Tom.

His kid and wife ruined the whole vibe, but I cherish my millennium DVD set.

Maybe one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen in years.

Chopped liver. The coarse kind with hard-boiled egg, onions, a little brandy, etc.

Off topic, but I bought a house with a butler’s pantry, which I didn’t even know was a thing (I switched coasts). It is magical. It holds so many things, including my 1000 cookbooks.

I’m Jewish, and this completely enraged me.
