Watched "Coherence" again last night. It holds up. If you haven't seen it, and even if you think you hate science fiction, it's a low budget yet thought-provoking film that will stick in your head for weeks after viewing.

Tonight it's going to be "Living". Also a second view, I felt compelled to purchase the Blu-Ray after initially seeing it on streaming. If you are a cinephile, this is an amazing creation. A feast. I was in love with it from the opening titles.

Bill Nighy? A true star.

TFG's apparently fake $48 million debt will take him to the same place (and hopefully soon) as the guy he loves talking about lately.

Al. You know, Alphonse Capone. Have you heard of this guy? He was a great American. A great guy. A powerful man. A great man. We all need a powerful man, don't you think? Like Viktor Orbán. There's another great guy. Strong.

I got Omeprazole!

So look.

All I want to do is this.

I just want to find eighty three million dollars, which is eighty two million seven hundred thousand more than we have... because we won this case. OK?

For the $83 million judgment, EJCarroll should have the courts place a lien on Mar-a-Lago, then take it over, kick TFG out, and turn the whole thing into a women's shelter.

Woke up to find one of my clients has had one of their servers deprovisioned two weeks earlier than scheduled.

heavy coding today, so digging on some melancholic ambient/techno while i work. usually it stays in the background, but this popped up and I had to stop what i was doing and turn it up. found some greatness starting at around the 1:40 mark.

wow. not Karen Carpenter but reminds me of her luxurious contralto.

it's "No-One in the World" by Locust.

This guy was famous back in the late 80's but I didn't know of him then (hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque?) . A few years ago I stumbled on the album "I Trawl the Megahertz" and fell in love with his sound, musicianship and engineering worthy of Parsons or Fagen/Becker. It's worth reading about his life and struggles. If you haven't heard that album (Trawl), give it a listen.

In the meantime, here is Prefab Sprout's "A Prisoner of the Past"

I wish I could, but I just can't do coffee. Or IPAs. I blame genetics.
