Remember Deleted Scenes? Remember Director’s Commentary? Remember the feeling of holding something warm in your hands and appreciating the cultural exchange you just had with it? You can’t get that from a streaming network. I bought a DVD player this year, went to the Goodwill DVD section and bought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and a pilates dvd for $1. One day the billionaires will cut the internet off and we will all look up and realize that we don’t own any of the media we love. Buy vinyl, buy cds, and buy DVDs – especially if you want to learn more about the movies you already love.

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?

I am learning to forgive people instantly, to forgive before they’ve wronged me, to forgive them for the sin that is being human. Grace is undeserved favor, and as someone who has been obsessed with being The Victim, it’s so freeing to accept that all people are deserving of forgiveness and grace. Also, it makes me morally superior to them.

This may seem obvious to people who didn’t grow up in the suburbs, but I’ve been enjoying having custom objects made for me. I’ve been wearing a belt I designed from an anagram I’ve been drawing since I was 12, cut by a trusted steelworker who also built the railing I designed in my house. I have custom handmade mirrors and tables and handbrushes and stools and jeans. I may not be able to build stuff but I sure can tell people what to do. It’s so nice to have personal relationships with objects and the craftspeople who make them.

I do not understand how everyone is not shazaming everything all the time. I once was trying out an assistant who asked me “what song is this?” TWICE in a row about an obscure playlist I was bumping. Needless to say, he was never seen again. I can tell what city I was in at any given time based on what Shazams are in my history. Do you not feel the burn of existential curiosity searing a hole into your soul constantly?
