    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Not "real" fries as they're not deep fried, but speaking of recipes, I really like these ones for making at home. They get beautifully crisp.

    Ozzy has passed. Pour one out for the Prince of Darkness.

    My heart. Sabbath is one of my all-time favorites. Favorite is underselling it, really. They were foundational. Everything I love in Metal and huge amounts of what I love in Rock is influenced by them. And Ozzy was the perfect voice for it. I'm glad he was able to have that final goodbye...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I read the first four of this series. They're pretty good. Some of Larsson's writing comes off a bit... "fan-service-y"? Lisbeth gets a bit superhuman.

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    Yeah, I always figured/understood that he wasn't an option for/interested in The Avengers and committing to the whole MCU deal. I don't mind Ruffalo at all, but I agree with Ruin about his performance in general. I like him, but he doesn't sell super genius or carefully controlled anger very well.

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    Solid takes re: Ruffalo vs. Norton and the portrayals.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Pretty much this. I would have designated steak fries near the bottom, for example, but I had a serving at Kennedy's on Westland Row in Dublin which were like the platonic ideal of the form. Beautifully seasoned, and they had nailed a fry process which resulted in a perfect balance of fluffy...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Let's not forget that part of Tolkien's professional legacy was apologism for Beowulf- getting it taken more seriously as a literary work and not merely a historical artifact.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I tried In-N-Out when I visited my sister in CA a couple of years ago. They were fine. I remember it all being a bit bland, but fresh, and the fries not as crispy as I'd have liked. And yes, the lines were long but at least they moved pretty quickly. We went to one off the highway on our...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm of two minds about this. I can't deny the truthiness, but OTOH when I've ended up at a Denny's it's normally late and often specifically to sober up. Agreed. When I discovered them (getting out of a couple hours of traffic having flown into DC on a Friday afternoon, on my way to Virginia...

    Reminds me of this video essay on dungeons, which opens with a four minute reading from Danielewski's House of Leaves. :)

    Our Physical Fitness

    Up late dancing and slept poorly Saturday night, so I got a late start Sunday, skipped my PT/core morning exercises, and dragged through my upper body stuff at the gym. Skipped legs too and felt guilty, but I was just wiped. Got back on my morning exercises the last two days, and I'm going to...
