A learner rather. Cycling, books, games, cinema Salt Lake City, UT
I was there for the first (ill-fated) game this World Cup so was obliged to get one of these
Virginia Woolf - Three Guineas Don’t be a coward, Nolan. Make this into a movie that’s all about men. Only you can do this
Charlie Cunningham’s drop bar mountain bike from the ‘70s vs “new bike tech” drop bar mountain bikes on velonews. Both of these articles were published today
Fashion > fascists A Spanish republican militiawoman staying current while defending Madrid against the right wing rebels. On display in the Reina Sofía, probably 1936 or early ‘37 since the Republican position changed pretty early from “women at the front” to “women in support roles”
Favorite wall from Spanish museums so far. José María López Mezquita’s Chain Gang was especially apt, good background material for the socio-economic situation pre-civil war (also reading an engrossing and alarmingly relevant civil war book by Zaragoza professor Julián Casanova)
They don’t let you take pics at the Prado because they’re embarrassed about typos like “inn” instead of “in” in the first line of the English here
Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden is currently screening at the local cinema. Not sure that’s a movie I’d watch in public with a bunch of randoms 😅😅😅
The best met gala fit I’ve ever seen, Bill Nighy 2023. Perfection in menswear
Oh meager world, so fat with everything imaginable! Imagine the New World that rises to our windows from the sea on Mondays and on Saturdays — and on every other day also
Us looking like the poster for the exceptional 2004 movie Take Out by Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou
Jean-Luc Godard kind enough to come out of mortal retirement to shoot a photo of us
23yo - Vivre sa Vie 33 - Band of Outsiders 43 - Breathless ^this is the appropriate progression of favorite Godard movies by the viewer’s age
My only problem with townhomes is that they’re not even affordable anymore in salt lake. These prices for 3 bed/2 bath townhomes are unreal
Spring cycling in salt lake requires at least one wardrobe change per ride. Setting out in vest + warmers, definitely removing layers soon
Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (who isn’t Indiana Jones) Only appropriate response to Woolf is St Jam Juice hisself wearing a white version of the hat that would later become a limp, black missile from St John Gogarty/Mulligan in the Martello tower
name a movie starting with L Jackie Treehorn presents Karl Hungus and Bunny La Joye in LOGJAMMIN’
The Salt Lake Bees just unveiled a new alt identity, the Utah Dirty Sodas. It’s a swig sponsorship (of course) is this corporate sponsorship for alt logos a new thing for the minor leagues?
Not as cool as those originals, but these are like 20yo now and still my main wheelset. Other than some brake track dings, they’re still perfect 🥰
I chewed the cover off mine 😅 when it finally came off, I mailed it to a friend as a postcard
