cameras have been embodied for a century or so now. their size and ubiquity now aren‘t necessarily changing that. i think the forthcoming shift has more to do with our ways of thinking becoming more aligned with ceaseless interaction with appliances. the theory of perception as a desktop interface (filtering out any data unnecessary for our daily existence) rings true now more than ever, but what is happening to the desktops we compare ourselves to? they’re being turned into inaccessible appliances whose intricacies are only known to their corporate creators. that said, i imagine the aesthetics and conventions we consider aligned with “reality” will grow to match a mediated experience of life.

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers. 10/10

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️ But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

i listen to music on my phone and my ipod. keep the ipod in my car so i can just throw it on shuffle and not think about playlists or anything. i don’t use any streaming services, i just get music off of Soulseek, Bandcamp, and physical CDs. I much prefer it. spotify and apple music are missing a lot of cool stuff

cheap fun cocktails and little appetizers, what’s not to love? best if paired with loving eye contact across the table with your one and only.
