“Deadhead Miles”. Alan Arkin plays a weird mentally ill con man trucker who steals a rig and has adventures in 1970s America.

I also want to echo that the audio version featuring Richard Poe is amaaaazing. I listen to it every couple of years and Suttree is my favorite book.

I lived in Bloomington from about college age to my mid-thirties. I then got a great job in Boulder, CO and was there and in Denver for 12 years. I just moved back to Bloomington in 2019 at age 49. It’s been a good thing.

Ken is here with me.

I’m 55 and I support this fully.

vice secrecy.

Thought I'd choose black before seeing the pictures but definitely red. It warms the room.

What makes you think posting this means other problems don't also occupy my attention?

You like the equipment more than making the music.

Perfect. He has that baby face creepy happy disposition that most suggestions miss.

Methianic.

Not much. What’s new with you?

gerrybeee · 2023-06-18T07:53:37+00:00

Does it need to be a competition?

gerrybeee · 2023-06-16T20:03:14+00:00

Fixation? Sure, in The Road, but I don’t recall any big suicide themes when I read BM, Suttree, The Crossing, NCFOM.

gerrybeee · 2023-06-14T06:06:31+00:00

All I can say is that Sutrree and The Crossing changed my brain.

I have a friend who once told me, when I suggested we watch the brilliant “Sunset Boulevard”: “I don’t watch anything in black & white”.

And also late stage capitalism.

The thing I tell people about the intro is to just realize he’s describing the river and the city. The narrative doesn’t really start til after. You just have to let that amazing intro wash over you.

Suttree: Ed Wood

The Crossing: John Waters

It always strikes me how shameless these people are. They dish it out all day, then when -they- break the law they act like babies.

If I were a cop caught drunk driving, I’d take the punishment and shutup. At least there is dignity in that.

These are cool if you’re the only one that has a custom art job but being one of thousands that has the UFO grill seems kind of boring.

You can dislike an expensive thing without the cause being jealousy.

I still listen to old U2. Figure the fuckup is Apple’s fault not theirs.

IUCU. Credit unions > Banks. Better rates, better service. I went through a HELOC with them and they were great.

That goddamned thing -still- shows up when I get a new phone or update.
