Pizza
Luigi’s in Bellaire. Best NYC style in Houston. They nail the crust. Romano’s while also great is a little doughy. Better variety on the menu too. Great slice. Best cheese pizza I’ve had in a long time.

What bars should I being going to in Houston?
Raven Tower, when it’s open, is tough to beat. Fantastic view of the city.

Be careful out there boys. Specs can’t get rid of the new Little Book Infinity II. Asking price is a cool $180. They were up to their eyeballs in Old Fitz 7. Glad I waited it out and got one for $50.

I hope Steve, Robin, Eleven, and Dusty make it out. Compelling trailer.

andrew scott is "ripley" - new tv show coming to netflix
Mostly enjoying it. Through 4 episodes. I like the brooding, dark tone. I’m surprised it hasn’t received more attention on surly. It was universally praised, and was nominated for 5 Emmys. While Andrew Scott is excellent he lacks any charisma of Damon’s Ripley. I kept asking myself, why would Dickie be friends with this guy? I’ve also enjoyed Johnny Flynn’s portrayal of Dickie. He’s not electric like Jude Law, but he nails a chill, privileged American ex pat. I know the Freddie casting bullshit is coming, but I’ll stick with it.

Kind of surprised Don didn’t mix in a nice Pennsylvania rye, but hey he was drinking for the destination. Not the journey.

2 straight smooth beat downs without any closing issues. A nice change of pace.

Raptors have gone super small tonight. A lot of 3-4 guard stuff with Ingram playing the 5. Pretty weird lineup, but they shit the hell of the ball. Ingram is probably going to ask for a trade in the post game presser.

Tari getting Harden level lazy on defense is not a positive development.

Canadian Club was Don’s office sipper right? Always kind of irked me. I wonder if it’s a homage to an Weiner alcoholic uncle or something?

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Better than Beamer. But Franklin can probably do better.

He can maximize his value by playing SG, hitting threes, and helping with the ball handling/initiating the offense. But yes, he’s the most likely trade piece going out for a PG in December.

Reed has been very efficient tonight, and no glaring mistakes. Not saying he’s the answer, but there’s time for him to prove himself as a rotational player.

Davison sighting. i know the NBA “experts” will crawl in here and tell us Okogie sucks shit and balls, but he played quite well tonight. Hit a couple 3’s and played good defense. I kind of hate playing Adams starters minutes, so I’m good with it.

I don’t think this guy has ever watched an episode of Curb.

Taylor Sheridan Exits Paramount for NBCUniversal
Yeah, Universal should greenlight any Sheridan project that isn’t a Western. Mayor, Lioness, and Landman must have much lower production costs than Yellowstone.

I think Kiffin is in a tough spot. He knows if Ole Miss re-ups him they can’t expand their NIL program. LSU is probably in a similar spot paying Lane and bankrolling buyouts. Florida might be the only open job where they can properly fund NIL and give him a significant raise.
