Having beef with your roommmate is like an NYC rite of passage, I guess it's good to get it out of the way now.
I feel like having something normal and reasonable to be angry about is kind of good sometimes. Remember that show BEEF? Really random Netflix show from 2023 that was actually really sick. Genuinely raised my blood pressure while watching and I still think about the incredible church scene all the time. It looks like a trailer for season 2 just dropped, annddddd it kinda just looks like a White Lotus clone. Will be curious to hear what people have to say about it when it comes out, but either way my no-steaming arc persists. White Lotus looks really cool, though, that's a big blind spot in my TV knowledge. Maybe I'll see if I could find a DVD at my local library.
I forget what shlocky book I was reading that made this point a while ago, but it was something along the lines of: "Conflict is how two parties learn how much they care about one another". BEEF sort of comes around to this, with the way that Danny and Amy form this caring relationship at the end that has a kind of earnestness they don't have with anyone else in their lives.
Recently finished Sociopath, A Memoir. Interesting topic, for sure, but it's written so poorly that I can't really recommend it. Coming up on the last few hundred pages of Doppelganger, which has been interesting. Been sleeping on Kaufmann again - can you blame me? Forget if I told you about this, but I'm starting a bible study w/ my siblings and cousins - basically a book club but for primary religious texts. We're starting with the Bhagavad Gita lol. Six chapters in and it's pretty cool.
Another one of those nights, you know? Suprised I'm still awake after the week I had - let's just say there's been some technichal difficulties at work. Might grab some food and turn in early, do some more reading. Tommorrow should be fun :)
All the best,
