I've always felt that this show has struggled in deciding whether or not the characters are supposed to be protagonists or antagonists, but this season seems to be doing a better job of being objective rather than subjective. Like you say, Hannah—despite being someone who would fancy herself far from these notions—is…

Those tracking shots are pretty phenomenal. I also like the depiction that, in a time of a global crisis, humanity doesn't bond together and unite. It just doubles down on tribal notions and accelerates it's own demise.

Hotdogs exist on the extreme ends of the acceptability spectrum. A couple of Gray's Papaya hotdogs for $1.00 are excellent, as is a gourmet novelty hotdog with plenty of nice toppings. A fast-food chili-dog, however? Disgusting…as is any kind of elongated hamburger. Just stick with the classics, Burger King, and…

Trump is just, somehow…dumber than Hitler. With his odd complexion and love of gaudy, tacky lifestyle choices he's really more like Hermann Goring.

Say what you will about Ricky Hitler's actions, but that kid had moxie.

I'm gonna treat this like that chair at Grandma's house that nobody can sit in, and never listen to this.

Whovian it's your birthday / Happy birthday Whovian!

I tried my hand at some carne asada. I think it turned out pretty well, I had everything set for carne asada tacos, and then I discovered that the avocados I was going to use to make guacamole were not yet ripe enough. It was truly a devastating experience

11.22.63, which I'm enjoying a lot. I've also been getting back into 30 Rock as a 'watch decompress at the end of the day' show.

Someone I knew growing up was killed recently with a stolen weapon, so fuck the proliferation of guns in this country. Or, fuck people who don't properly secure the weapons they own. And fuck good people dying unnecessarily.

Two Terrorists, a Plane, and an al-Qaeda Plot

Well, at least it isn't a Garry Marshall style, 'Six people find love/happiness through serendipity' movie set during September 11th, right?

I'll give this episode some credit, I think it's an interesting and honest narrative to show that Hannah, for all of her gusto in being a liberated, third-wave feminist—and by default most women of the Hannah archetype—can be just as prudish, moralistic, and insecure in their relationships as the most basic of basic…

A few things, though seeing as how I grew up in the age of CDs they are probably very age-specific. The ritual of choosing a CD or group of CDs to listen to, be that on the walk to school or a drive. Gwen touched on the colorful designs of CDs, so I would also add arranging them in your binders based on color pattern…

Martin Sheen is just the perfect level of crazy in Badlands, all of his weird anachronisms combine with his townie status to make him such a believable Starkweather stand-in. It might also be my favorite Malick score, and one knowingly copied for the very Badlands inspired True Romance.

That was probably the most disgusting iteration yet. There is something so grating about Trump—just the pitch and cadence of his voice, the limited nature of his vocabulary, those same stupid fucking hand gestures…I am in awe (i.e. dismay) that people look at that and think, "Yeah! Make him the President!" The sad…

Some coconut curry shrimp, first with rice and then noodles. In my extremely biased opinion, it was pretty damn good.

I was accepted into a Master's program this week, and it was one I really wasn't expecting to hear back from. Considering my undergraduate performance and the fact that I didn't really have any experience in the field prior to applying, I'm still a little shocked…but in a good way.
