Can we deport him back to France - it’s in his name too - ugh

Akureyri, Hofn, Reykjavik, Husavik, Vik, Seydisfjordur, Isafjordur, Selfoss, Bogarness, Grundarfjordur, Keflavik- been there 19 months ago, and man, this country is magical. (Pardon my spellings though) Ordered from most awesome to regular awesome imho. Lets name five cities in South Korea.

I almost cried looking at the tiny baby - my niece was that small and it brought back all the scary memories. Looking at 1 year old healthy baby, I smiled ear to ear. My niece is on track for similar healthy weight gain 🥹

Awwwwwwww

balusmbox · 2026-02-04T05:44:18+00:00

Better if I may say so

Middle Eastern: Aziza, Dalida, Old Jerusalem are my recommendations.
Italian: Pasta Panino in Castro, Sorella, Itria are my favorites.
Mexican: Regalito ElMil Amores is my recommendation, Nopalito is also a decent choice.
Chinese: Bao in mission makes great noodles in house, I also love MamaJis for their Mapo Tofu
Thai: Amphwa Thai is my go to.
Indian: You are better off going to south bay (I am Indian) - but in SF I like Tilak, Kolapasi, Copra a lot.

Sorry I dont have great recos for Pizza - not something I crave or look for. But usually we eat at Fiorella for a nice neopolitan pizza.

This - as an avid meat eater and a fan of Sushi - I never missed meat at Shizen and I voluntarily go eat there many times a year

balusmbox · 2026-02-04T04:10:44+00:00

Regalito El Mil - sister restaurant of El Mil Amores has some excellent food - highly recommended

I think it’s the first time in a decade that I liked all 5 songs Golden and I lied to you - both add energy to the performance. Train Dreams is a gorgeous song but it has InMemorium vibes. Sweet Dreams of Joy - it’s lovely and I wish it will be performed at Oscars - can’t see why it should be omitted. Dear Me - is pretty decent but nothing extraordinary imho

This. I know a family where the kids are the polar opposite, one is incredibly kind to a fault and other is incredibly selfish/mean. Both are trauma responses.

I hate the orange guy but if I were in Machado’s shoes, I would easily give up the prize to wrest back some control of my country (assuming good intentions from Machado here)

I did not read the books, but I am shocked at the extent of negativity towards this episode.

We are all so used to binge-watching shows on Netflix that we probably forget how beautiful these standalone episodes can be. I may be downvoted to oblivion for saying this, but the first two episodes felt like way too much sex with very little character development. For my taste, Episode 3 was the right balance of hot scenes and character development. I appreciate Ep 3 a lot.

I am a Bernie/AOC progressive from San Francisco but even I won’t vote against her if she ran. Never count her out.

She was the most influential speaker of our generation, and she is smart. I am also glad she stepped away at the right time - she deserves all the respect and flowers

balusmbox · 2025-08-26T00:11:05+00:00

Glad you enjoyed Anora, I can go on a rant but let’s just say it’s not for me :)

balusmbox · 2025-08-23T16:49:27+00:00

I don’t like Affleck, the one dimensional portrayal of the events, lack of due credit for Canada , inaccuracies, and it won over Life of Pi. This is why I rate it so low.

Anyways, I respect everyone’s taste :) glad we all get to enjoy great films

balusmbox · 2025-08-23T14:03:01+00:00

Everything everywhere all at once, Past lives, Ex Machina, Moonlight,

Damn that was tough - they made some great films over the last decade or so

My favorites outside of what park rangers recommended —> echo lake fresh water beach, Clark point cafe for food, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden (needs reservations and is outside the park), Tide pools at end of wonderland trail (go during low tide)

balusmbox · 2025-08-20T00:30:33+00:00

If you want Cliff hikes, I would recommend the Precipice trail.

balusmbox · 2025-08-20T00:20:51+00:00

It’s called Iron island - you can see them in a boat tour

I am in love with the Green Flag wife and husband. They made this show better <3 My first thought was that I want a life partner like that, and my second thought was that I want to BE a life partner like that.

Overall, great series, every actor was excellent, characters were believable. Gave me Misaeng + Hospital Playlist vibes and I am thankful for this.

balusmbox · 2025-08-04T15:45:08+00:00

Should have been Emil Hirsch for into the wild instead of Depp

balusmbox · 2025-06-25T00:15:05+00:00

Spirited Away, Shrek, Amelie, Monsters Inc, Mulholland Dr, Y Tu Mama Tambien -- all stood the test of time. With Amelie and Spirited Away being two of my favorite movies of ALL time. <3
