Spell candles

depending on how I’m doing these can either feed my OCD or be meditative and help focus intentions... or all of the above :-)

Lighting a candle or incense after you have tidied up a space

Required. And also very cute that humans do this.

The curse (2023)

Finally a media product honest about the psychosexual trauma and deranged generational entitlement of millennials. The Fielder-Safdie meetup bridges the confounding cinéma vérité of the former with the disconcerting aesthetic of the latter. To be sure, I'd call this a "drama;" but, as is the case with the auteurs here, the blurring of "reality" with "fiction" ends up presenting a truth larger than the sum of its parts. Well-meaning liberals gentrify the frontier, while excusing themselves from the shitty and destructive behavior that they knowingly partake in. Emma Stone is truly un-believable, an uncanny powerhouse. There's no boundary here, in the Derridian sense: you are at fault as you watch, especially when Nathan shows us his tiny, tiny, tiny little dick. "It's not a big deal and I'm not insecure about it."

Having some taste

Year-end list season reveals bare those with nothing to contribute. I’m not talking about Bad Taste. I’m talking about No Taste. There’s an obvious clamor every winter to shuffle the same 50 releases into some kind of personal claim to a canon in process. It‘s also a great reminder that most people who claim to care about music don’t know how to address, with any sustained thought, what they’re talking about. Frankly it’s embarrassing and outdated. These lists, 30 years ago or more, were once a function of music as commodity, a consumer guide in an environment where information moved much less swiftly. Please, for your own dignity, try and come up with something original. All that is unique to you is your Shitty Opinions. Otherwise it reeks of the desperation to have Correct Opinions. It’s not worth it. Have more fun.
