Overheard in New York at my local deli.

Give me some sliced lettuce and tomato so I can make a sandwich later. I made my own roast beef at home.

He points at the deli meats in the window.

This shit will kill you. With all the sodium they put in there? Forget it, bro. I make it at home. I just haven’t figured out how to make cheese yet. Once I get that? Fuck.

Listen: my friend Ellen is cool. Thank you for your attention.

Mortal Kombat, 1995

Let’s go.

Forgot to post a snow-day photo. Stay warm out there.

Together apart. 🐈 🐈‍⬛

I’ll be talking about Advanced CSS Custom Properties for Components at Florida Drupal Camp in less than a month! It’s a great speaker lineup, myself excluded. 💽

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2003

Such a cool movie for a perfect album.

In the Mouth of Madness, 1994

This movie rules. A meta Ouroboros-ass cosmic horror about writing with Sam Neil chowing scenery, goopy practical monsters, and a glam rock soundtrack.  What’s not to love.

I got to co-work today with one of my favorite pups. 🐶

My cousins released their first single with their new band. Chalk Teeth Make A Striking Debut With Their Brooding Dark Wave Single ‘Struck’. Dark dance-y synth. Get movin. 🎵

I made a donation to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Fuck ICE. 🇺🇸

Cecil B. Demented, 2000 - ★★★★

Still great.

Godzilla: Final Wars, 2004

This movie grabs you and doesn’t let go. On the second viewing it all clicks into place. And by “place” I mean “mud”.

Serial Mom, 1994 - ★★★★★

I can’t believe it took me this long to see this. A+

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, 1995

In this one the Godzilla is on fire and lights up and is in water. The actor in the suit needs a medal.

The first time I had Indian/Pakistani-style sour pickles, it was maybe 2015. My friend Mani had taken me to Punjabi Deli, and he urged me to try the pickled mangos. It felt like my mouth was imploding. I couldn’t imagine taking another bite. While this thought was still in my mind, I had some more pickle. It’s been a flavor I’ve sought out ever since. 🍴

New day, new way to be proud to be an American. This sarcastic post will be, I predict, evergreen. 🇺🇸 💀

Marty Supreme, 2025 - ★★★½

Another safdie joint where one asshole burns his life to the ground and everyone yelling. I had a good time.

My letterboxed year in review for 2025. I watched 48 movies. Is that…good? 🍿
