  • God, do I miss being in a state where shit changes because of evidence.

  • Well, at least I didn't lose family members.

  • Excellent analysis. I wish some of it were surprising.

    Oh, this is not going well.

  • Unlike my inability to spread toppings on a pizza with any efficiency. I'd sometimes end up with a side-heavy pie because all the cheese moved over there in the oven.

    Sometimes, as one might have noted, I have to get things out via words.

  • It's been forever on account of them closing down almost all their stores. The rate of expansion circa 1996 was absurd. We were cannibalizing our own customer base by opening up a new one a few miles away. There's only so much demand for rotisserie chicken when you're charging twice what Costco does.

  • Great track. I've loved Delerium since the '90s, when edgy 24-hour diners would play their work. I'm curious if they started going harder or if that's all Tiësto.

  • I worked at Boston Market back in the '90s, and we would endlessly steal the precooked bacon from the sandwich station, usually crouching behind it to avoid management noticing.

    But he does research so I don't have to, and I enjoy that.

  • One thing Ed does is use my cadence, so it comes across as very natural. It's kinda like how dogs sniff each other and feel comfortable.

    He was right.

    Yeah, a good writer will reduce things to this size of a sentence. Now, this requires skill ... three random monosyllabic words and a period gets you nowhere. It's a bit like comedy in that the setup is required for the punchline.

  • I mean, yeah, he sounds like he's yelling at clouds, but he brings the receipts.
