In 2024 I'm cancelling as many streaming services as I can and turning to the video store instead. I'm a member at Videotheque and Vidiots in LA.
1. I find my watching to be way more intentional renting a DVD or Blu-Ray. I have to return it so I have to watch it and this is what I picked.
2. The browsing is much more pleasurable in person than the dang scroll! You can pick up a bunch of stuff and put it back when you figure out what you want.
3. If I pay late fees I feel like I am making a charitable donation.
4. Video store clerks are so cool!

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

Spending ~60% of one’s income on rent is an honorable and Lindy thing for an artist to do. Living with others is a developmental milestone I never met; I am an untenable roommate. Being alone allows you to revel in your strange, peculiar, and poetically pathetic existence. It helps if, like me, you don’t mind being cucked in a precarious and underpaid position in the economy. I understand others do.

This requires two shoutouts. I recently went through a quasi-breakup, after which Heartlocket Amazon Primed me a PS5 and Delicious Tacos encouraged me to channel my depression/rage into Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Video games are a perfect vessel for male anguish. Deliverance allows you, if momentarily, to step outside of the Longhouse.

Don’t you understand that it all goes back to Tao Lin? And it always has? I wouldn’t be writing, or posting, without Tao’s influence; I imagine this is obvious. Richard Yates is the great American novel. My own precious copy has been rendered unreadable due to impassioned/psychotic scribbling, it now resembles a treasured keepsake of the criminally insane. Tao recently brought back the MuuMuu House blog and it is the only publication I routinely check. His editorial choices are very strange, I particularly recommend this.
