love
"i opened the book, picking a passage at random, and came across a tale about alexander the great. the emperor, as the story went, received as a gift some wondrous glass dishes. he liked the gifts very much, but smashed them all nonetheless. "why? are they not beautiful?" he was asked. "precisely because of that," he answered. "they are so beautiful that it would be hard for me to lose them. and with time they would break, one by one. and i would be sorrier than i am now."
the tale was naive but it still astonished me. its lesson was bitter: one should renounce everything he might ever begin to love, because loss and disappointment are inevitable. we must renounce love in order not to lose i…

f1 (film)
let me start with my rating: 8 out of 10.
we saw the film on opening day, and the theater was about 85 percent full. apple went all in on this one. you can feel that massive 300 million dollar budget throughout the film. the racing scenes are absolutely stunning. outside the races, though, some parts felt a bit cliche and surface-level.
brad pitt, on the other hand, doesn't seem to age at all. it's honestly impressive. the high-energy race scenes gave me a bit of a headache afterward, but i was fully engaged for the entire two and a half hours and never got bored.
i'm not sure what kind of deal apple has with formula 1, but with a film like this, it's pretty clear that f1's growing popularity in the u.s. is only going to keep rising. i wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing apple and formula 1 show up together a lot more often in the future. -

it's the unfortunate, clumsy name for a tiny clump of poop that gets stuck in body hair near the butt. it's a word my wife taught me.

random midnight ramblings
sometimes i speak to men and women just as a little girl speaks to her doll. she knows, of course, that the doll does not understand her, but she creates for herself the joy of communication through a pleasant and conscious self-deception.
