Ricki Lake Hallelujah

[somebodysdarling]

I know a lot of people have already discussed the obviously negative aspects of online gambling. Of which there are many. But to me the worst part is that it’s totally erased valuable and viable third spaces for degenerate deadbeat fathers or otherwise untethered male relatives who already have so few public places where they feel comfortable and safe getting belligerently drunk and blowing their life savings and the savings of all those who love and care for them. The dog track used to be a place where total failures and social rejects alike could hangout and ruin their lives together. There was a sense of satisfaction in the physical act of carefully counting out your bills and sliding them to a clerk. Or the soreness in your arm after a day at the slot machines. Then the thrill of taking your meager winnings to the whirl girl strip club in the basement of the building and shaking your cup of change at the dancers. It just isn’t right. Support your local bookie. Or maybe don’t actually. But ask your local disappointment if he’s ok.

Your Smiling Face - James Taylor

[somebodysdarling]

Just based on his music alone I never would have guessed in a million years that James Taylor was a serious heroin addict. I feel like his most famous songs are these extremely upbeat overproduced proto-2000s rom com ending credits tracks. Which I used to find really grating and annoying but I’ve recently come around to it. And I’m not super well-versed in his entire discography so what I just said may only apply to the few songs I’m familiar with.

I love when a website detects that you’re using an adblocker and makes you click the pop-up “continue without supporting us” to enter the site. Like yep!

Another kid came up to me to ask for books. He says he really wants to get into Nietzsche and Dostoevsky this summer. I say ok great and show him where some of their books are. He looks them over for a few minutes then comes back and asks if I can pull some Bunnicula books for him instead. I love young people.

My Love | Paul McCartney & Wings

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart joke around while rehearsing for a 1946 radio production of To Have and Have Not.

Some kid brought his summer reading list (assigned by a public Florida high school) to me to see if we had any of the books available and the first one was The White Album by Didion. Which is crazy for a lot of reasons but mostly because this is a state where small counties like to try and ban stuff like To Kill a Mockingbird from school curriculums. Wait til they find out kids are being assigned books about babies taking acid and stuff. Also when I was in school down here our summer reading lists were exclusively like John Green books and the Anne Frank diary. So I’m a little peeved too for personal reasons. Mostly I think it’s awesome just kind of surprising.

Nothing more beautiful in the entire world than a freshly sharpened Ticonderoga #2 and a Pink Pearl eraser ❤️
