  1. The Argentinian red shrimp are gross. These are the "regular" shrimp. Costco has frozen wild gulf shrimp in the shell - those are good, too. But we haven't made a Costco run in a while.

    I grew up with P.P. Arnold's "Angel of the Morning."

    I grew up with Juice Newton's version. One of the greatest shower songs ever.

    I think Paul Thomas Anderson wants you to get nervous.

    He does, and I generally like what I've seen of his stuff a lot, but, like Boogie Nights more than Magnolia.

    As opposed to whoever directed Weapons.

    Some guy named Zach Cregger. His next project is Resident Evil, which I will just...let H watch by himself.

    I like free rangy!

    Yeah, it's just my preference. I like to see the act breaks and be able to predict when the credits will roll. I need to trust that the director knows where everything is going, or I get nervous.

    One Battle After Another

    I am on record as liking that one quite a bit, even though it was rangy, and I prefer a more tightly structured film. I assume you've seen Sinners and Train Dreams

    If you try making mocktails using fancy teas and juices, he says, they can cost as much or more to make as alcoholic cocktails. I find that plausible if you make mocktails that way. Of course a soda is going to be much cheaper.

    Right, not disputing that. But often there's a list of complicated alcoholic drinks (with fancy ingredients in addition to the alcohol), and another list of complicated non-alcoholic drinks (with fancy ingredients but no alcohol), and the prices for both lists are very close together. So if you're conditioned to see a big difference in price between a vodka soda and a soda soda, you are going to expect that same big difference in price for your fancydrink.

    Is this expectation correct? Perhaps not. But it's unsurprising.
