I asked a pal @brentosland.bsky.social how pretentious my last post was on a scale of 1-10 and he gave me a 10. I win!

Made beef vegetable stew (with pasta stored separately). Filled six jars. Big thanks to #ChefBillyParisi for showing me pinçage, au sec, and beurre manié, leveled it up! 👩‍🍳

The Killer Trailer HD (1989 John Woo)

dagnamit @dagnamit.bsky.social · 26d

Last night I watched John Woo’s The Killer with friends who found a subtitled stream (so much better than dubbed).

Chow Yun-fat’s Ah Jong and Danny Lee’s Inspector Li circling each other with guns drawn and eyes locked …such homoerotic tension🔥

It’s beef stock season up in here, making enough to freeze for a few months and give to fam.

I didn’t realize how long it’d take tho and now I have to wait until 10pm to finish a beef vegetable stew I’m making. 🌝

I’ll have to try that! I learned from a Julia Child episode to use salt and then rinse with cold water to get rid of the smell of onion and garlic, but it kind of hurts and dries my hands out. Coffee sounds fabulous.

Rewatched Trainspotting for the first time in over 25 years and it’s crazy how different it resonates. In memory, it was a movie about drugs and punk flavored anti-capitalism.

Now I see it as a dark comedy about shitty friendships.

Watch Bill Duke’s “Deep Cover” (1992) for Fishburne as a cool lead, Goldblum as a smooth villain, and a soundtrack introducing Snoop Dogg with Dr. Dre.

"Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint" (2019, Halina Dyrschka).

Overlooked, she was the first abstract painter. Her art, meant as a vessel for spiritual truth, was hidden for 20 yrs per her will because she believed the world wasn't ready.

Before and after wood staining the patio table. So satisfying.

Upgrade a cloudy, rainy work-from-home day by cooking based on how you want home to smell all day.

Simmering garlic cloves in extra virgin olive oil to add to some homemade hummus, soooo good.

Earlier today had crockpot tikka masala going. Mm mmm. Love it.

Merlin bird app just clocked a group of screaming suburban parents at the baseball field behind my house as a gaggle of Canadian geese and I’ve never seen AI be more correct.

Dreamt again that I returned to a bookstore I used to work at to become the owner. Had very strong feelings that the shelves had to remain wooden.

So that’s where I’m at, emotionally.

The Black Mirror “Eulogy” episode with Paul Giamatti. Devastating. One of the best.

What if the thing keeping you from peace… was you?

God, this show.

Cross over into the world of "Black Mirror" and experience "Thronglets," the retro pet simulator game at the center of the Season 7 episode "Plaything."

This isn't a game: it's a life form whose biology is entirely digital.

Listening to Fast Car. People think it’s a love song about escape, but listen to the very end.

It’s about running from one hard life into another.

“You gotta make a decision. You leave tonight or live and die this way.”

I know I’m more mature now because I used to go run in the mornings to “get in shape” and now I do it to “be a better person” for the rest of the day.

It’s almost entirely for mental health and happiness.
