It’s true what the say. The killer chili from yesterday’s throwdown IS better today. Note to self: either double the meat or add beans. Variation: ground beef and tomato with same spices for those who don’t want Texas red.
Miserable shopping at the West Side Market.
Paraphrasing Nietzche
I’m reading The
Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner. In it, he quotes the philosopher “The measure of a [city] is how well it turns [misery] into something worthwhile.”
Ask around. Are the people you know unhappy? If so, why? According to the studies in Eric’s book, there’s very little correlation between happiness and place.

At #phoenixforums doing thinkrs&drinkrs. Lovin it!
Lost Marathon
As I mentioned the other day, I’m training for this year’s Film Fest. I figured catching up on Lost would be a good way to do it. I figure 4 or 5 episodes is about the length of a film. How many do you think I could watch in one day? 10? 15?
Downtown at Tower Press for TECA to hear Thom Ruhe being candid
Film Fest prep
So since I’ve been asked to blog the fest this year, I’ve been training. The max flicks I can take out from the Euclid Library is 10, so I’ll go and grab a bunch and watch them. When was the last time you watched a trilogy or series?
What else would you do to train for the fest? Queue waiting? Popcorn eating?
Filmfest site is live! www.clevelandfilm.org. Oops. Link corrected.
Gotta get outta town for a bit. CLE has a way of getting under your skin.
Prepping for a social media consult with one of the county exec candidates.

Dear city of Cleveland trash guy,
When we make eye contact and you don’t take my trash it’s a poor reflection on city workers in general and the city itself.
