definitely dont keep up on restaurant culture much but croissant culture??? this place in brooklyn heights is opening up in the west village. their calling card is mini-croissant cereal.

new month. new movies on criterion. this was in the handmade films lot which was george harrisons production company and to drive that home it opens and closes on a beatles tune. a lot of talent wasted in this one. also they kept using the exterior for the horseshoe bar near tompkins but it was set in 1964 in the bronx. i wonder if any of it was actually shot there. the movie is five corners.
I am lost with movies today....
New Julia Roberts movie......yuck
New Nicolas Cage movie......yuck
Hope The Boy & Heron delivers!!

Just finished a wine course on sparkling varieties. In the discussion afterwards they mentioned cider mimosas with only two ingredients, wine and cider.

Brooklyn Christmas Bird of the Year: Purple Sandpiper
Purple Sandpipers are reliably present at Christmastime each year on the wave-washed rocky waterfront of my Brooklyn neighborhood along the Verrazzano Narrows. They breed in the far north, and Brooklyn is their idea of south for the winter; they arrive around Thanksgiving and stay into the spring. It’s their tradition.

watched maestro on netflix which is bradley cooper acting and directing a leonard bernstein biopic. thought it was..... fine. he and carey mulligan were very good in the leads and im ok with the fact that it wasnt a paint by numbers biography, it was really more about their relationship but seemed a little withholding in the end, like it got caught wanting to be a smaller film inside a larger hollywood movie.

mindlessly thwacked what must have been a mosquito as it made a bloody mess on my pristine white wall. thank goodness for those magic erasers which ive only employed since moving here. the are, well, magic. i dont know what theyre made from but if its aborted fetuses id say its still worth it.

finally some catholic content. the daily lunchtime/recess shriekfest at the catholic school nextdoor can be trying especially for someone who has in the past week complained of squeaky doors and faucets. (on cue the neighbors door squeaks) i get it you are having fun, not inquisition level fun (see, i brought it back) but the only thing bloody is my spiking blood pressure and what im liable to do about it. want me to deconstruct that pun for you? theres a iron maiden spikey torture joke in there too but who was the time?
and just like that, lunch is over. ceasefire in play til 3pm.
