“Oh What Fresh Hell is This?”
My personal record is nine bills for the same, minor urgentcare visit. Things I’ve learned: It’s not your provider’s job to deal with insurance, it’s yours. Don’t pay outright1. You’ll keep getting clobbered until every single service provider has billed you. Call them whenever you get billed. B…
The First Third of 2025
I’d say things are going pretty well.…
Saw with KL, UE, and friends. I’ve never written a screenplay and would be laughably shit at it but I genuinely feel that I could’ve knocked this one out in a few days. There’s a new Captain America who’s trying to find his footing in the MCU following the very dignified and demure exit of Steve R…

My Awesome Downtown Pad
I feel very personally attacked by Mr. Lovenstein. And somehow glad I’m not the only person who, for instance, purchases a glorious WaterRower1 and proceeds to give it a thousand cumulative and approximate ‘pulls’ over three years. 🤦♀️ Because he saw it in House of Cards and thought it looked…
About five minutes in, I felt like I was reading a masterpiece even though I know very little about the graphic novel format. This is some mesmerizing inking (Burns won a lot of “Best Inker” awards for this work). The panels almost look like woodcuts. It’s about teenagers and adolescence and how we…
When Does It End?
COVID Theater has become a sad thing to behold these days. Do we still wear masks? If transmission is mostly airborne, why do we get to take them off at restaurants to eat our food when droplets from a sneeze can travel in excess of 25 feet? What’s all this talk about a second booster? Is Omicron s…

Birthday gift from TK. Sharp, vibrant, funny, and dark. The characters’ philosophical ruminations are self-indulgent and sophomoric and tedious. Don’t know if that was the point.…
Know Your Cephalopods
(Source unknown) TIL that (a) tentacles and arms are two different things and (b) there is a lot more diversity to this family1 than I’d imagined! I don’t mean “family” in a taxonomic sense.↩︎…

WandaVision
(2021)
Wonderful, wonderful stuff with the TV Eras. So creative! Slightly disappointing in how an intriguing and promising Twilight Zone-like plot was resolved via a good old Marvel laser shootout1. Can’t wait to read an analysis of how it was a ‘triumphant exploration of Grief’ (which it really was.) Or…
