You ever sniff your hands? Then wash them? Then sniff them again? And they have a new bad smell? And you go on a rampage trying to find out what went wrong? Neither have I.

I just saw Raging Bull for the first time. Tough watch. I’ve seen only a handful of Scorsese, and they’re always effecting, but π₯ take alert, I’m not sure I like them.
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since my transplant. My deepest gratitude to family and friends who saw me through, and to my friends at Hackensack UMC who saved my life.

Magazine photographers have exactly 6 ideas for shooting comedians: 1) Talking into something thatβs not a phone like itβs a phone. 2) Striking a glamorous pose while wearing something stupid. 3) Laughing! 4) Making a strained face like they donβt know whatβs going on. 5) What is that awful, awful smell? 6) Laughing!
I was in a public restroom last Sunday. A man comes in, uses the urinal, washes his hands, says, “Aw shit,” then goes into a stall. It made me very happy.
Just saw The Best Years of Our Lives, which I recommend. Like many movies prior to around 1970, it features a lot of cheery, well-mannered alcoholism. You can get it public domain on archive.org πΏ
Is that a blintz in your pocket, or are you just disgusting?
Had another great time at #BrooklynJS last night. Stay BAMF NYCJS.
I want a museum called Famous Historical Capes: Taking Back Back Cloth From Superheroes. Their only exhibit is every cape Liberace ever wore.
I just saw The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie on Amazon Prime. I’d like to like it more. πΏ
I’m reading The Stand and I think there’s a mucus under my bed.

Book idea: “The Cat and the Splat”. It teaches children about roadkill through rhyme.
Saw Jojo Rabbit, and it’s fantastic. Hilarious, touching, poignant, hilarious. That’s 3 for 3 for Taika Waititi. Do yourself a favor and go see it. πΏ
Recommend Alan Ralph’s blog for Micro Monday. Great insights.
If you pause in the middle of a thought, people will try to fill that moment with themselves.
