This is my favorite TV show of all time. I read James Garner’s autobiography a decade ago because I became so obsessed with this show. The idea of being a PI who hardly works, drives a gold Pontiac, lives in a trailer on Malibu beach in the 1970’s…all his relationships w/ women blur the line of friendship and romance. Impossible and hilarious to me.

I have a friend who has a membership and brought me as a guest once. the food was fine, basic Italian-American-ish offerings. The movie screening rooms are nice.

Grab a couple friends, watch (once per week, together or separately) classics/canonicals you otherwise would never have gotten around to, discuss irl or on Zoom. Feel free to hate, but also feel free to love
There is literally no other way to get yourself to watch Jeanne Dielman, but boy-oh-boy you’ll be happy you did

I love living in Texas. I get that maybe it doesn’t have the best reputation as a place for “creatives”, but I think the distance can be very beneficial. I like the open sky, lakes, bbq, and the people I’ve met here. What's that Leonardo DaVinci quote “ Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up”. I grew up near the pacific ocean and always disliked the beach. It always felt sad to me for some reason. A lot of people here who just kind of do their own thing. The pressure from places that demand explanations, discourse, “a reason for why you do things”, I think leaving that mostly behind has helped a lot personally.

I got this book at the Museum of Jurassic Technology when I was 19. It was written by a homeless MIT grad who would staple pamphlets of prose philosophy around UCLA in the 90’s. It’s kind of a precursor to a lot of what you see on twitter these days, schizoposting, etc. I’ve always been inspired by guys like this, another interesting guy was Shea Zellweger. If you’re like me you sometimes get an impulse to exclude yourself from group activities, alienate yourself, etc. I like how committed he was to writing and posting this stuff.

This has helped me a lot. Data (thoughts, emotions, sensations) can be very overwhelming. Practicing/reading this has helped me not get too invested in the sensations, which is kinda like stroking a snake, the head and the tail both lead to being bitten.
