Live from Herald Square: No lies detected
Photo of a sign at the Herald Square 34th Street subway station that reads “molten core”.

(and if you don’t know, this station is hotter than the darkest corner of Hell)

Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney never looked better than they did in Out of Sight. Specifically, that hotel scene. Absolute cinema.

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence
Poster of the movie “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”

At the center of the poster two men stand back to back holdingguns. Beneath them is a collage of the colorful characters that are also in the movie.

Observation Deck, Tokyo City, sunset
Observation deck in Tokyo at sunset. In the frame, several people looking out over the city trying to get the best view. The skeeter is a big fan of this view, people watching at the top of the world

Where does the snow end and the greys begin?
Photo of the skeeter in a snow storm. He has a salt and pepper beard which in the snow looks more like salt than pepper.

A small detail I loved in One Battle After Another was the baby backpack tethered to Bob’s go bag. Not only does it demonstrate Bob’s love for Willa, it also conveys how little he’s thought about being on the run in the sixteen years since the inciting incident that caused him to be on the run.

Covid & Flu Shots (also, go Liberty🔥🗽🐘⛹️‍♀️)

Sunset (yesterday)
The sun is below the horizon. On the right, a tall building that probably has a name, but it is unknown to the skeeter. The sky is mostly orange with thin violets and blues near the top of the frame. There are other buildings to the left of the frame, names also unknown, whose evening lights are beginning to checkerboard on.

“In a time of destruction, create something…”
A photo of the reflection of the skeeter taking a photo of himself in a sign has a quote from Maxine Hong Kingston, “In a time of destruction, create something.”

He is wearing a bright yellow blazer and bright green pants. In the background, a tree with green leaves reaching outwards.

Felt nerdy, might delete

Me looking at my 401k after the last two days:
The photo is from Kill Bill, Part 1. In it The Bride surveys the aftermath of her bloody battle with the Crazy 88s.

The skeeter acknowledges that as an analogy, the image doesn’t hold up, since The Bride was the author of the carnage and the skeeter is more of a bystander in a stupid trade war.

That said, the image otherwise captures the essence of the skeeter’s retirement account
