raze i like "inception" just fine, but it's really just an action movie with a bigger brain than most. 230422

epitome of incomprehensibility About movies, I didn't like Dead Poets Society that much. From what I remember, it seemed overdramatic in ways that didn't really suit the story.

Then again, I was 17. Also, the title gave me an idea for some sketches years later - little comic strips about Sylvia Plath at a writer's retreat in the afterlife.

I don't know if those would be any good either, but I'm proud of making an irritated William Wordsworth shout, "I am finding it increasingly difficult to think about daffodils!" 		230423

nr i don't really like "ahead by a century" by the_tragically_hip. 230423

raze "hail_to_the_thief" will always be my favourite radiohead album. 230501

raze chicago's "street player" is the greatest disco song of all time. 230509

raze roger moore was as great a james bond as sean connery, in his own way. 230613

e_o_i Self-discovery of the week: I am not a fan of recorded audio guides for museums.

Have a person lead a tour and say things, ideally giving people their own to look around afterwards too. 		230614
...
e_o_i Or just have no tour guide, that's fine too, as long as I can read a little about what I'm looking at. But having recorded audio guides on top of that is overwhelming and alienating; I'm not sure what to focus on. 230614
...
e_o_i edit: ideally giving people their own TIME to look around afterwards too. 230614

tender_square rap and pop music nowadays is really lazy. producers and artists blatantly borrow old songs and don't reimagine them in a pastiche of samples to create something new. it's boring as fuck. 230615
...
e_o_i No shade to anyone who does, but I don't like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Not because it's overplayed or overrated necessarily; I just find the arpeggio parts boring. 231019
...
e_o_i (Even the super fast part isn't as interesting as it could be. Sorry, Beethoven. I like your other stuff.) 231019

raze the only movie sequels that can justify their existence are "grumpier old men", "the godfather part ii", "spider-man 2", "batman returns", "star trek ii: the wrath of khan", and "babe: pig in the city". pretty much everything else is just a cash grab. 231021

Soma Milk is pretty gross and doesn’t taste very good. Beef too. And I don’t have much care for cheese. I don’t get loving them. Back in Oklahoma it was fighting words. Here in Washington everyone thinks I’m vegan. But I’m not. I just think they have a very distinct taste of rot that I can’t stomach. 231022
...
raze the first two "supertramp" albums are ridiculously underrated. 231029
...
raze maybe i only feel this way because it was my first jeff_buckley album, but i've always liked "sketches for my sweetheart the drunk" just as much as "grace". 240129

e_o_i Classical music again: apparently, hating on Beethoven's piano compositions is a long-term thing for me. A blather search for something else brought me to why_I_never_got_my_high_school_yearbook, which confirms that at 16 and 25, I found Für Elise the second most annoying song in the world.

Then again, I've listened to all his symphonies (fair enough, there are only nine) and not been disappointed once. 		250112
...
e_o_i Re Soma about food: it might be the animal-fat taste. Or with milk, that it's a base (as in the opposite of an acid), so it has a bit of bitterness. I don't much like milk by itself, but I don't mind the taste mixed with other things. 250113

raze a grave sin was committed against humanity when production of the choclairs chocolate bar ceased sometime in the 1990s. 250121

e_o_i I like the cold (as long as I remember my scarf). It's refreshing. 250122
