In prep for tomorrow's CA storm system, I was working on my roof. It was 65 degrees in my driveway. On the roof it felt like 95 degrees with sweat dripping off my nose.

Much respect to roofers.

I'll have you know my parents put a new roof on their house when they were already in their late 70s, zero outside help. I even have photos to prove it. My mom went along with it just to be outside in the spring, smelling the flowers and hearing the birds etc. while she was nail-gunning those shingles into place.

My parents are legit bad-asses when it comes to hard work. Raised in the Ozarks during the Depression, a culture of scarcity. Me, I grew up soft in the 70s suburbs. If I'm up there, it'll be play not work. Like this great old James Taylor cover of a Drifters tune.

It's okay... Some parts are hilariously bad but still pretty funny.

I would call it drunk A-Team in Vegas.

sometimes when im high, i'll watch some show/film that is hilariously bad, and i'll imagine the director and the director of photography, and like whoever else worked on the film, just vibing while they are creating it, and imagining what a master piece it is, and how they are gonna sweep the oscars

I was humored over the fact that every actor (male and female) has one nude scene spread throughout the 8 episodes. I guess they figured if one person has to do it then to be fair everyone has to.

this reminds me of a story i hate so much... i think it was julia roberts? idk... some big movie star was doing a nude scene, and she asked that everyone on set be nude too. so camera men, assistant directors, grips, everyone!!

i get that she wants it to be communal, and shared experience BUT she is making movie star money, and some of those workers are really low paid.
