“Hey Willow, I made a meme!”

I hear you. Sorry, I was in a mood.

If you’re going to review a show, you should give a shit about it. Or at least pretend. Like a lot of people who come here, I read reviews to further engage with the material. This isn’t helping.

I’ve seen it twice in theatres. It’s a long film and the pace is slow but I almost never thought that it was too long or dragged out (with the exception of one particular sequence, but it was also one of the most beautiful sections of the film, so it was worth it).

“Is Grace in?”
“Who?”
“Does Grace live here?”

I suspect I’m going to enjoy Rogue One more than Richard Brody.

Still the greatest movie review ever. I plan to check back in every five years or so.

The Lamy cp1 fountain pen, for quick jotting and cursive writing. A slim, dead-straight barrel with an eye-bleedingly elegant nib. Probably more of a gift pen than an everyday carry item, because it’s an expensive and you don’t want to lose it. The site has a directory of dealers and so many beautiful pens.

Except that’s not the case, as Coates’ piece shows.

I had a strange experience at a P.F. Chang's in Amarillo. We were travelling from Canada, where the restaurant chain hadn't really penetrated beyond a couple of cities (which, I know, is all the cities, but never mind).

I sincerely doubt that Pollan is suggesting that you make your own cheese or pasta. But frozen meals probably contain a lot more salt etc. than making a similar meal at home. Remember: you have no control over the composition of your meal when you're buying a packaged meal. Buy some basic ingredients and the amount of…

I think that Pollan's ideas still apply. You're still likely eating large amount of labour-intensive food that you wouldn't normally make at home. But on the scale of things, it's probably a lot better than eating at Burger King every day.

Ugh.

I've seen Birkenstocks with closed backs. But I think that crosses the line into violating the basic Birkenstock spirit.

Open-toed sandals would definitely complete your look.

The joke's on you because cameras from 2000 years ago take surprisingly good photos.

And how about Star Wars? Explosions and noise in space? Come on. And how did they get all those cameras over to a galaxy far away?

Kindles have been available in Canada for a long time now. Maybe it's just the paperwhite they're talking about.

I'd be interested in building a DIY light ring for my micro 4/3 camera.
