I start my slate of meetings at 6 or 630 most days. Fuckin India. Placing the iPhone on the changing table where I can reach the mute button but where the 1 year old won’t kick it into the shitty diaper is an art.
Donnie Brasco, Carlito's Way, A Bronx Tale - these all to me fall into the category of fun mafia movies that have really great mob movie scenes but also aren't actually great movies. "Now youse can't leave" "fuhgeddaboutit". I think Donnie Brasco is probably the best out of these and Lefty (and Pacino's portrayal of him) is a great mob character. He may be the best combination of.... he's not much more than a piece of shit thief scumbag and yet you can empathize with his plight, living the consequence of a lifetime of being a piece of shit. It's also interesting how much of the plot is relatable to corporate drones - he's got some ambition to be more than essentially a low level manager and it's never going to happen for him, and then he's getting batted around in a power struggle at the higher levels, his golden boy protege is ripped from him, it all blows up and they're going to chuck him out with the trash.
I'm coming back around on Donnie Brasco being a good movie. It suffers from being very late 90s.
I haven't watched The Untouchables in maybe 8 years or so but I remember thinking it was not nearly as good as I remembered it. It may also be just suffering from seeming very of its time.
Don’t get me wrong because obviously the godfathers are a couple of the greatest all time films, but apart from sorta kinda the deniro bit of II they have nothing to do with the actual mafia. They were never any more honorable than Clemenza.
Conservatives explicitly do not give a fuck about how they treat their neighbors and they sure as fuck don’t have time for people telling them to start caring about things like that.
Cottage cheese actually would work there too, that’s probably what I would do if I was at home.
but if I’m spending a day in office, I’ll hit up chipotle or get a smoothie and eat a quest bar.
i eat a lot of popcorn - wife got me this as a stocking stuffer and I guess I’m surprised you can just microwave dry popcorn kernels in what amounts to a steamer. This has made controlling nighttime snack calories fairly easy.
Part of what makes recapturing the essence of classic shaggy impossible is that that brand of Internet humor was ruined by the pepes who took it seriously.
I agree in principle about weight not being the number or perhaps the most portent number, but I will say that for me tracking metrics is important in my ability to stay on target during a slow process like this.
i look forward to the “ what’s it going to be” every morning on the scale. And this is the first time I’ve done calorie counting - that makes a big difference. I want to just eat that cornbread muffin sitting there but more than that I don’t want to fuck up my number. Also I finally ordered a bowl for the first time at chipotle - I know bread is a calorie bomb but I finally gave in when I was playing with the nutrition counter on their website trying to figure out how I could get cheese and sour cream.
