RIP Hal Williams

Hal Williams died yesterday; I don’t think I could’ve pulled his name out of my own head, but I also feel like when I was a kid the odds of him turning up on whatever tv show I was watching was always pretty high. You’d always feel good whenever he’d show up onscreen, and it’s a credit to him that someone like me could feel even a tiny bit of loss upon hearing of his death, which certainly makes him deserving of my generation in particular taking a minute to say thanks for always being such a positive presence in all our lives, even if from so far away.

A Few Thoughts After Finally Watching the First Episode of the Final Season of THE BEAR

Damn I forgot how much I love Richie

Can I trust a show about chefs that fetishizes the McGriddle?

Questions. I Have Them.

Why don't we have assembly lines in water tanks so workers can float in warm water instead of standing on concrete all day, which would surely be much less punishing on their bodies over the years & therefore make them more productive?

Life. It's Really Happening, Isn't It?

The other day somebody used the word "nonchalant" & I thought they said "Don Chalant" and I didn't hear a word they said after that because now I can't stop thinking there's no way there shouldn't be a supercool suave supersecret spy named "Don Chalant" (cool fedora included).
