I blacked out any memory of doing the beep test along with every other memory of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award

Barry Jenkins adapting James Baldwin!? Holy shit, how have I heard nothing about this until now? Well, now I’m excited.

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out once I’m *cough* home from work a bit later...

Hey, I got lucky and caught SNS early enough again! I have had a surprisingly solid start to the new year, which — considering how badly 2017 ended, and how low I felt right up through the final hours of NYE — I really did not expect at all. At first, I was almost suspicious of it (okay, I totally was), but part of…

Just finished the wonderful Eve Babitz’s Two By Two (until I stumbled upon it at work, I literally had no idea she’d written a book about dance! there is so little good stuff written about dance! I kind of freaked), and am now onto Didion’s Miami.

I don’t really know anyone around here, despite having been active for probably about a year (I think?), but I may have to poke my head in there!

As far as personal stories from people I know who have worked with or spent time with him in the industry? I’ve only ever heard good things (people rave about working with him, actually).

Haha shit, I studied forensics at Grossmont College back in the day, so I know exactly which shopping center you are referring to!

This entire thing is almost too much for me, I both love it for its entertainment value and deeply hate it for its sheer idiocy.

Ha! Careful what you wish for, though...

Shit... Should we campaign for a rooftop pool/heli-pad combo for you where you can do so more effectively? Are your coffee cups recyclable enough? These are very important questions, please advise.
