I'm actually a lifelong Star Wars fan and not only do I not give a poo poo about the new Star Wars movies, I'm kind of sick of hearing about it at all.

I'm about a third of the way through Devil In the White City today, and I wasn't really getting the dual story format until I realized (spoilers for the person who just ordered the book, I guess) that it's contrasting the monstrousness of American men of greatness with the greatness of American monsters. Specifically, though the passages are far apart, the section about the workers building skyscraper foundations dying from the bends can be paired with the later description of Holmes' lair- two buildings which swallow people up. The description of how Holmes intentionally kept the construction of his home extremely segmented and regularly fired his work crew to prevent anyone from understanding his design can be applied more broadly to the capitalist alienation of labor, which of course plays into a massive prestige project like the Worlds' Fair. Also, the Whitechapel Society just makes me laugh to think about. It sounds like a college frat with a cargo cult Church of Thelema theme or something.

Some guy stopped at the red light outside my apartment on a motorcycle blasting 'Drops of Jupiter' on the radio. I didn't even know motorcycles had radios.

The only message I have ever received on OkCupid was an old gay man who said he only liked to talk to straight guys (?). Being some average looking white dude whose favorite film is The Pervert's Guide To Ideology isn't exactly a crowd pleaser. v v

Yeah and they are really loud because you have to hear them over the engine. It's ridiculously obnoxious. Usually don't see them on anything but touring bikes. Better than headphones under your helmet I guess though.

I could've sworn there was some low budget movie from the 70's or 80's that was given free kfc every day in return for a little prod placement, but having trouble finding it now. I can remember seeing behind scenes pics of the colonel or someone similar. I'm not sure if it was a horror, like TCM, or a comedy like Animal House or Strange Brew.

From what I remember, KFC gave that deal to a lot of low budget films, so you'll see the characters eating fried chicken in quite a few. The Colonel himself appears in some biker movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmFNRijVz4s

I've had Dazed And Confused on my DVR for exactly one year today, and I still haven't watched it. Tomorrow is my last day of class before summer break. I feel like that's noteworthy somehow.
