Staying at a hotel on Zorn Ave in Louisville. There used to be a Ramada next door, but they tore it down and used the pieces to make two hotels of the same size.

During the Great Resignation of 2021, I hoped employers might get rid of some of the pointless hoops that they make prospective employees jump through, the stuff that clearly has nothing to do with how good you'd be at the actual job. It turns out that that will never happen.

I heard Rudy Cheeks died recently. He was nice enough to make the trip out to my apartment in 2014 to talk to me for my podcast 'Tell Me About Your Song' about his song 'Operation Drifter'. yoursongpodcast.tumblr.com/post/1003209...

Tell Me About Your Song

- For the 35th episode of 'Tell Me About Your Song', I talked to songwriter and musician Rudy Cheeks about his song 'Occupation: Drifter'. In the course of our discussion, we touched on the following...

since the podcast is talking to authors about movies, i sometimes feel like i should maybe start adding movie people talking about mystery novels.

Attempting to frame these bigots like they’re brave pragmatists breaking from some kind of stalwart trans-affirming norm is the type of enormous lie where the ground should open up to pneumatic-tube you directly to hell.

In 2015 going I saw 'San Andreas' starring Dwayne Johnson which ends with our hero standing amidst the wreckage. "What do we do now?" someone asks him." "Now ... we rebuild," he replies. I thought, "It wasn't so long ago that I would have hated this instead of just thinking it was lame."

Kristen's post is about Oliver Stone's 'World Trade Center' and Paul Greengrass's 'United 93' and is well worth reading. I haven't seen either movie, and this reminded me that for years I actively avoided anything too 9/11-related.

One version of this is an action-type movie where the runner has to figure out how to achieve a goal (a la Edge of Tomorrow), but another would be one where there's no obvious threat or goal and the runner just comes up with challenges for themselves to keep from being bored.

To me 'kicking ass' and 'being competent at' have different valences, and anyway it's Ralph who's saying it so (in either interpretation) I reckon he just saw some vikings somewhere and thought they were cool.
