ken burns documentaries

Comfortable, slow pacing. They feel worn in like an old sock. I watch the VHS’s while I paint.

ken burns 'jazz'

I can watch Ken do his slow zooms all day long and his Jazz doc is one of my favorite things I've ever watched. It's like school but doesn't suck. It's like 19 hours long but worth it.

Documentaries of allan king

I love his one about 1970s Canadian teens called Come On Children (1971) but Warrendale (1967) is also great. I have not seen the one about marriage. My Life As A Turkey (2011) was a PBS/BBC documentary that is so beautiful. You think it's just your average nature doc but the music is great and it tells a story that really has little to do with nature and more about the human condition.

Leaves of grass by walt whitman

Hard not to look like an asshole when you whip this out in public. But who cares! It’s a classic for a reason. Whitman’s prose flows gentle, like floating beachgrass on bright ocean waves. Or whatever.

Trivia night

Arguably the most consistent way to hang out with friends at least once a week. So many venues have them. Activity! Camaraderie! And you usually learn something. Thursday is the best night for this, I think. Gives you something to look forward to other than the weekend.
