  • otherwise you don’t realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.

    Isn’t that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

    It’s okay to not like Tarantino, I don’t care much about that, but your argument doesn’t really hold up for me.


  • I work on a helpdesk, my phone rings around 8-12 times per day, and most calls are less than 10 minutes. I work a 7.5 hour shift, and at most am on the phone for an hour or so total on an average day. I’m also in an office cubicle farm, not working from home, or behind a series of closed doors.

    Lately, between taking calls, I’ve been reading books, looking at my phone, practicing French, and watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation on my iPad. The upper management knows I, and my coworkers, kill time this way between calls.

    We’re efficient problem solvers who get our jobs done with no issue, so the downtime is spent how we see fit.






















  • Baratza Encore set to ~28 32oz French Press (making ~16oz at a time most days)

    Best coffee I can reliably find locally is Counter Culture, which I learned to love when I was a batista for a year. I usually get the Apollo if it’s fresh enough, but I also love their Gradient, Hologram, and Fast Forward. It’s the only coffee around that has the roast date printed on the bag, and it’s always less than a month old. I used to be able to find it less than a week old, but I guess the stock doesn’t turn over fast enough.
