I just wanted to update WHERE I am. I started blogging again and it feels great. Movies and stuff, but I also started a project on revisiting artists complete discographies and writing about my connection to them. I've done Sonic Youth, Gang Starr/Guru, and Nick Cave, so far.
This place is a shit show, honestly. Elon, Ye, and Trump aside, trending topics are garbage pails now. I'm gonna be on Hive as jasonrodriguez and I'm on insta as thebombbag. Mostly movies and food and dumb shit.

Here's my most recent one, paired with a Nick Cave portrait by @lizlaribee. These are pretty long pieces, this one coming in at 7,500 words and dealing with the music but also getting into Alzheimer's, religion, and pregnancy loss. TW, on those topics.

Just gonna post whatever dumb shit a younger, wiser me stopped myself from posting until twitter goes away. Stuff from my drafts and what nots.
Y'all laugh at Elon Musk too much. I'm holding my laughter until I see him lurching around stage during season 33 of Dancing With the Stars or doing a Super Bowl commercial for Nationwide Insurance.
My dad seems to always be watching one TV show that sounds fake. He'll be like, "You should check out Chattanooga Fire. It's a drama about a fireman in Chattanooga who has a secret plutonium mine. It has Debra Winger and that guy from Wings, the dumb one. It's on CBS."

We hosted an outdoor viewing of THE SIXTH SENSE and @lizlaribee and I dressed as how we'll eventually die: embarrassed to death at a Renaissance Festival.

I've felt weird all day today and I couldn't put my finger on why. Just jitters, anxiety, nausea, etc since the moment I woke up. Then I remembered that today the hierarchy of power in the DC universe changed and it all made sense.

What is the difference between a bodega and a deli?
I think a simple marker is a bodega has uncooked rice for sale and no panini press.
I wonder what made up stat The Rock's gonna use to tell people BLACK ADAM is successful. Like, "Biggest Opening Weekend for an Anti-hero Film with an Integrated Marketing Team Sponsored by Zoa Energy."

I'm watching ORDINARY PEOPLE with my mother-in-law. It's a very meaningful movie to her. Meanwhile...
This year for Cake Day @lizlaribee and I decided to treat ourselves and got the White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake from Doan's Bakery. This is the cake that Tom Cruise sends to his celebrity friends for Christmas. We'll never be on that list, but we wanted to try that cake.
Happy Cake Day, everyone! Back on September 19th, 2017, @lizlaribee and I got a calendar reminder saying, "This day sucked in 2016, so bake a cake." We don't remember what happened, but every 9/16 since we baked or bought a cake. Feel free to do the same.
Update: I'm two days into owning a wick trimmer and tonight I got into an argument with Liz claiming that my Tobacco Barn candle smells stronger once I trimmed the wick. She met me halfway and said, "Yes, I smell a candle."
Reminder: I made fun of wick trimmers originally.

I eavesdropped on A LOT of the conversations behind this new look (@lizlaribee is Comms Director) and the amount of care and thought that the team put into this was inspiring. Makes sense, though, since the @DreamProjectVA is such an inspiring organization.
We can't wait to introduce you to our new look! Today we are adopting a new logo, a new color scheme, and a new website. Come on by and check us out: dream-project.org
BTW, we got our bivalent boosters (and flu shots) on Friday and then accidently took our photo in front of a bunch of lubes. That's our way of saying: get vaccinated and get busy.
I got a wick trimmer in the mail today and spent two seconds making fun of it and the last hour instructing Liz about the importance of clipping candle wicks for proper "scent throw."
I saw HONK FOR JESUS tonight. The movie was perfectly fine but either way Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall showed up to that production every day ready to put in the work. I got a whole new level of love for Hall, especially.
