Before I got my gaggia classic, my routine would be v60 on weekdays before work with an aeropress here and there and moka pot on the weekend. The process of moka pot brewing feels so zen to me

Even more reason to love Jamie Foy

Royal Tenenbaum died tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a sinking battleship.

I saw Jazz guitarist Julian Lage last year and I was not expecting to have my socks completely blown two blocks away. I really enjoy his work and recognize that he is a master of his instrument but holy hell; he and his rhythm section were a hive mind operating in a higher plane of existence. He emitted an energy that I’ve never felt at a concert before. Please check out his trio’s performances on YouTube just to feel a tiny fraction of what happens in person.

Woo!

I saw buddy at a music fest once and he yelled at the crowd for not singing along in time. Dude is a hilarious legend

I just left a job I’ve hated for a long time. My wife and I had our first child late last year and she’s been on maternity leave since. We thought about childcare for when she returned to work and we would end up basically giving away my entire paycheck for a stranger to watch our baby. My wife knew I’ve been unhappy at work for years so she suggested that I quit and take care of the kid for 6 months then look for something down the road. We get great insurance through her work and we talked to a financial advisor to stash away enough money to cover my part of our expenses plus our emergency fund in the mean time.

Yeah it’s unsettling to not know what the next 6 months has in store but it really does feel like the right move just to be with my daughter to witness these monumental developments she will be making. This world has me fucked up in a lot of ways but I look at her smiling face and it all melts away. Work to live, don’t live to work. Family comes first and your employer will never be your family.

No footlongs

The larger class is saving that for sweeps

Sanford and Son theme plays

It just does

Avatar The Last Airbender. I’m in my early 30s and do a rewatch almost every year.

NOTHING MATTAHS

Yeah I live in the burbs so I caught on when they were getting buzz on local Instagram pages and radio play on WXRT. I’m bummed I didn’t go see them at Thalia hall last week, I bet it was a great show.

Friko’s debut Album Where we’ve Been, Where we go from Here

WOO

Rapture from Bioshock when it was all shiny and new.

I read The Left Hand of Darkness this year as my first foray into Ursula K Le Guin and I loved it! I had to read The Dispossessed right after and loved that even more.

I enjoy a Lacroix depending on the flavor- Passionfruit is my favorite. The top tie, first round pick for sparkling water in my book is Topo Chico. Add a little bit of lime juice and a splash from a ginger bug on the rocks and you have a spicy treat

Wasn’t that the Minivan Homer rented? So many cup holders
