Just a Movie is an Unjust Sentiment

I have found a reason to write; it’s better than ranting to myself. My original motivation for blogging was making my friend happy, that’s always a good motivation. As soon as I started writing I discovered that it made me happy and that’s still a good reason. There are ideas that run around my head […]

Oppy

Hold on to your hat, I’m writing two days in a row! I want to get back to that being the expectation. Two weeks ago, I had my interview for my new teaching position. I wanted to make the best use of my trip to the City, so I decided to see Oppenheimer. I read […]

An Essential Organ Everywhere All At Once

Captain’s Log Supplemental: I’m an idiot. I have said that often enough that it’s clearly not worth a supplementary log issue, but it explains why I need to make one. Yesterday I praised all the changes at Citi Field, and I neglected to mention the most important one. During the Seventh Inning Stretch Take Me […]

Meet “Meet John Doe”

I have a week off from school that means I should be blogging daily. Let’s see if I will. I’m going through the nominees for my most exciting albums of 2022 edition of Gord’s Gold. I decided that’s the way to phrase it, the albums that excited me the most. That fits in with my […]

Another Thanksgiving Dinner That Couldn’t Be Beat

I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]

Doctor Strange at the Mountains of Madness

Yesterday I went to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It took me five attempts to not bury the lede. I’m joined the AMC Stub Club. It’s free and with it I get discounted tickets on Tuesdays. They also give discounts to seniors and for early shows. These can all be combined so […]

A Batman

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the movies, I saw The Batman. I almost always go to the same theater, the Magic Johnson on 125th street, I always go to a matinee, and I always go on a Tuesday. Why? It’s the fastest theater to me to get to, half an hour on the D train. […]

Christmas with Good Vibrations

Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]

I hope I properly reset my circadian rhythm this morning. On Saturday I slept until 11. I let myself do that on Saturday. Then I did it again on Sunday. I went to sleep at 1:30 instead of midnight last night but when I woke up at 7:40 I left myself go back to sleep […]
