In general, I like to keep up on the latest in astronomy and theoretical physics. This app, which is a recent addition to my mobile arsenal, allows me to contextualize and understand my place in a previously inscrutable map of the universe. Living in Brooklyn makes it really difficult to stargaze, and with this app I never have a problem keeping tabs on where our local black hole (Sagittarius A*) is.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

I love entering through the department stores. I love the metallic smell of the fountains, and estimating the amount of change thrown there. I love the manicured displays and the wigs they put on the mannequins. I love Orange Julius. I love washing my hands in the sink at Bath and Body Works. I love having a place to walk indoors when it’s raining, and this was a crucial feature during the years I lived in Boston. The Prudential Center is open 24/7, and I loved wandering around it in the middle of the night.

My old friends Ryan and Evan introduced me to the idea of a “friendship initiation ceremony” in high school. Theirs was honestly really fun for me, but I’m not gonna be uncool and say what it was. My own initiations (punishments? lol) were vigils where I’d park my car in a quiet and dark spot and play this album front to back and cry. With the song “Rapture” tears were unavoidable. If someone could sit through the trial of my quiet sobs 1-on-1 then I was certain our bond was strong. I did that ritual four times.

Over the last couple of years I became super addicted to the coziness of “Sword and Sorcery” fantasy movies. My favorites are the ones made circa the 80’s: Red Sonja, Apple, The Last Unicorn, Masters of the Universe, and Beastmaster; which is simply my favorite of the genre. In a broader sense, these movies share the kind of sentiment I love to feel when watching B-movies: sloppy execution cannot destroy the charisma embedded in a labor of love.
