Emchap's Shit From the Internet 7/19/17 🍠
Last night I went to go see Baby Driver, which I loved and which made me profoundly homesick. Particularly enjoyable was:
The realization that Octane (a coffee chain I hate, and which my ex LOVED) has a downtown location of which I was unaware and which is apparently patronized by bank robbers in addition to the artistic GSU students/the local zine community
One of Baby's mixtapes is called "The City Too Busy to Haste," which is hillarious
The last 20 minutes of the film is literally The Fault In Our Stars driving cars at Jon Hamm's salt and pepper Nazi youth haircut while he grunts in a parking garage that I'm like reasonably certain is down the street from the Tabernacle
Plus there was a super sweet aerial shot of Spaghetti Junction, so that was fun.
Shit to read
Why do men end their texts with haha? It is deeply disconcerting if you imagine someone chuckling slightly after mundane sentences.
I loved this piece about tailoring clothes to one's body (as someone who is I think the same size as the author, and who grew out of being able to fit into vintage clothes when I used to love them) particularly when paired with this short and sweet piece about streaking at summer camp.
Sexting in the present tense is bad, don't do it.
Have you ever tried to explain A Wrinkle In Time to someone who doesn't know it? What a strange and beautiful and kind book. I love this piece on its understanding of time.
Shit to eat
Nab you a pound of rigatoni, half a pound of cheddar, half a pound of monterey jack, and a quarter pound of good parmesan. Also two pints of heavy cream and some salt and pepper.
No, this isn't going to be good for you.
Boil the pasta for the amount of time the box says.
Drain but do not rinse it.
Dump it into a bowl, or if you want to one-pot the whole thing, drop it into a big cast iron dutch oven.
Shred all the cheese, and mix half of it—and all the cream—in with the pasta.
Toss just all the pepper on there, and dump it into a baking dish if you're not using the dutch oven.
Shred the other half of all the cheese and dump it on top.
Cook at 350 for 40 minutes.
Enjoy the best and correct mac and cheese.

Shit to listen to
It's the 10 year anniversary of Tegan and Sara's The Con. Revisit it.
Shit to buy
This pool float is a giant unicorn, so.
Bob's Burgers is a great show and this erotic friend fiction pin is delightful.
A foot massage. I'm not going to link you to one, but like, they're real nice.
