  • The Verbs: March 2025

    Watching: Death In Paradise, BBC

    With the new season starting to show up on BritBox, I decided to do a rewatch of the whole thing. Yes, it’s a cookie cutter kind of crime procedural, but it’s very British, very fish out of water, and very funny at times. In this day and age, it’s comfort food to keep my mind off of what’s going on in the world. You have to find bits of joy in things somewhere or you’ll go nuts. Here’s one of mine.


    Reading: The Great Shark Hunt, Hunter S. Thompson

    I’ve never watched Fear and Loathing. I did watch The Rum Diary, which got my curiosity up to actually read Hunter. Also, I grew up reading Doonesbury, and Uncle Duke is…well…yeah. Hunter reminds me of that guy who listens very carefully to everyone’s advice, and then does whatever he was going to do in the first place.

    We’re talking about HUNTER. Not ROLEY, HUNTER.


    Jamming: Who Let The Dogs Out, Lambrini Girls

    Heard the song “Company Culture’ on Strombo, and sometimes you just need some thing that kicks your ass. I submit this for your gluteal destruction.



    Podding:  Reclaiming, Monica Lewinski

    Yes, Monica Lewinski. If anyone knows about taking back the narrative of their life, I think she does. She has conversations with people who have dealt with some great difficulties, and how they did it. If you know me, it’s right up my alley.


    Working: My goal for March is to make a video. It is not a TikTok or a reel, but a video. Horizontal storytelling is what we did in the pioneer times.
