Runner, cinephile, posts mostly odd thoughts. St. Paul, Minnesota.
Very slow to follow back.
Typical INTP(5w4), atypical autism.

It's rough. Have alternates planned for them and expect (assuming you live in the same town) to be a chauffeur more than you'd like.
My mother scraped another car and never noticed, then got lost when the route she took every day was closed for construction (Alzheimer's). She took it well.
Saw a license plate from Maine on today's run. Those are uncommon in Minnesota.
I also saw a goldfinch. Less rare.
My favorite, from way back.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"
There were a couple of those in the basement when I grew up. I've never seen a collection or known they were a group!
Yeah, kind of an odd one. A&C Meet the Keystone Cops is one I saw only once 50 (gasp, shudder) years ago and remember as the oddest one.
I honestly didn't know you were local until 2 days ago, or I might have joined in

News just had a shot of Art-a-Whirl and I'm pretty sure I saw Phyllis Kahn in it.
Working on finishing another film list. 1009 seen, 34 to go. Almost done! Except that's 54 hours of film yet.
You can (allegedly) tell a lot about a person by these categories:
Eggs: poached
Steak: aged beef, sous vide to 125, torch to sear
Milk: 12 oz skim with 3 Tbsp cocoa powder, microwaved
Alcohol: Gueuze
Warm drink: Twining Irish Breakfast Tea (loose)
You can (allegedly) tell a lot about a person by these categories:
Eggs: sunny side up, mostly there to bring yolk to the potatoes that are happening
Steak: haven’t gotten to steak yet in the reintroduction of meat
Milk: oat
Alcohol: I’m for it
Warm Drink: as much black coffee as the guts allow
It drew attention. More than the song Wynona's Big Brown Beaver got.
If you see this, post a bridge
They're not household names. Tony was fine with that, Dave accepted it, John wanted more recognition.
For example, once at a party, a guy looked at me and said "you must be a brother of the twins" as an opener. He used to be their boss, and we look alike and have similar mannerisms.
Storing this tidbit to go with my once dating Izzy Stradlin's high school girlfriend
Ha! Another movie soundtrack playing Trois Gymnopedes. Two in a week!
Oh, I know where you are. Look up "Reservoir Woods" nearby. You'll love it. It's virtually untouched old growth forest in the middle of the city.
NBC switched from the track meet they were showing to the Preakness, a 2 minute event that takes place more than 2 hours from now.
I remember it too. On the east Bank, my girlfriend Theresa worked at the bottom of the Civil Engineering building, 100 feet below ground.
Trying to think of the word "cicerone," I came up with "consigliere" and had to work from there.
I eat obscenely healthy 95% of the time, but I like to show the exceptions.
I keep wanting to make something and never do:
Martin Scorsese's Letterboxd image with a fake review of "Mean Streets" that reads just "Could have been gayer."
I ran out of space or I'd have added Run of the Arrow. Not great, but really interesting. I decided The Tall T would have to do for westerns.
You've seen the cream of the crop!

I wish I could find the footage of Koerner, Ray and Glover playing and each is tapping their foot at a different tempo.
I think one of Biden's challenges is that his staff think the economy is booming: stock market over 40000, unemployment under 4%, inflation under 4%... but no one can afford housing, child care, or pay off their debts.
"So, a lifetime of bad decisions led you to where you are and you want a solution that doesn't involve you changing."
[What I wanted to say just now but didn't. I may often be tactless and blunt, but I could be so much worse]
Today I have documentaries about typewriter repair and about a hospital in a cave in a war zone. Yours sounds more fun.
Don Glut has made some fun no budget films, starting when he was 9!
