You…really think Cary is better in Monkey Business thsn Bringing Up Baby or The Philadelphia Story?! (Not fighting, just can’t fathom it.)

yes and i will tell you why!!

Cary is wonderful in his 1930s movies but in Monkey Business he does the magic trick of turning from 1950s cary grant—respectable, cool, ready to star in a bunch of hitchcock dramas—into the 1930s version of himself, onscreen, through body language alone. It is extraordinary. In the space of three minutes he drops fifteen years, loses every affect that made him the serious hero of To Catch a Thief and flips back to the mad gymnast of Bringing Up Baby.

it is one thing to control your image when it is half you already, in that moment of your life, and another thing entirely to make it so clear onscreen how constructed this image is and how you can pull it out like a card from your sleeve whenever you want. he shows you "cary grant" is something he can perform anytime, out of time, and he can give you whichever version you want. it's absolutely nuts and has no place in a movie about a chimp conducting mad science

I wish I could just yank the one clip instead of the whole film (which, like I said—bad), but you can see what I mean from 23:34 (though start earlier to get a good read on "old" Cary Grant, and how this is the same version of him from to catch a thief or north by northwest) to 26:59.

so i’ve eliminated my phone from the “staying up all night” equation by getting an alarm clock and charging said phone in another room, but this resulted in a second, secret problem of staying up too late drawing because i still had my tablet. i don’t wanna move my tablet to another room as well because i like having a little bit of drawing time before bed so for about a week i was like….. oh i’ll just force myself off at the correct time eventually. one of these days that will happen.

but last night realized i'm never gonna just gain the willpower to curb my bad habits at random, that’s the entire reason i took the phone out of the room, so i just. set my tablet to turn completely greyscale from 12:30am to 8am to prevent me from staying up all night drawing. and guess who actually fucking went to bed the second his tablet turned grey.

moral of the story and a lesson i think everyone can take from this is don’t expect yourself to just get over your bad habits through sheer force of will. it won’t fucking happen. instead make them as annoying as possible to continue. make them completely unsatisfying. sabotage your bad habits.

one time in college i was in a creative writing class and this guy was holding up the critique with what i can only describe as like cinemasins dinging another student's writing. and at some point the professor said "the plot is the fork and the prose is the meal. you are critiquing the taste of the fork"

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

they told me not to get lost in the weeds, but these are lush, beautiful, and ecologically necessary native plants so it's probably fine

Every dog has a “dog pearl”. It makes it by eating grass. When a dog dies it uses its pearl energy to manifest one wish. We don’t know what they wish for, but our thaumaturgists have traced their leylines through history. The consequences of dog wishes on the current political climate can’t be understated.

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.
