a NF book I’m reading right now that I’m loving is “The Comedy Book” by Jesse David Fox, one if the biggest fans and experts on comedy as an art form, discussing and exploring how comedy should be treated as such. Deep and funny read for comedians and appreciators of comedians, two categories under which I fall under most of the time.

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

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

You remember that moment in the hit 2023 movie “Barbie” when Ken peels back from the saloon doors of his stolen mansion and screams “SUBLIME!” To himself? I’m getting that feeling now, but instead of the selfish revelation of finally wearing down the romantic resistance of Margot Robbie in my mystic, misogynistic “I’m Just Ken” horse powered oligarchy, my “SUBLIME!” is directed at this Italian sandwich and canned black coffee in my local park.
You get it, right? it’s pretty sublime. not the ants tho, I need to move off the grass pretty soon tbh.

After too many days and months in front line customer service, with the million open maws of a million screaming children, I’m moving back into an admin role where I’m working with ADULTS. What a rush! I’m celebrating my little career win with my homemade pour over black coffee on a sunny train platform.
Things might not be so bad after all.
