My local Dunkin has installed digital kiosks since last I visited. I wasn't going to use them, but the cashier cheerily invited me to do so, then watched while I struggled through the interface. I had to scroll to the donuts and then the kind I wanted wasn't even there, so she said "just choose anything, what would you like?" And then I was ordering with the computer and the human simultaneously. Also the touch screen felt gross.

Computers are bad but maybe this is what I deserve for frequenting a Dunkin in Los Angeles, City of Donut Shops

Today we saw Death of a Salesman starring Wendell Pierce and Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool starring Mike Birbiglia. Both were terrific and in very different ways, if you can believe it!

I find the paint thickness in this Alphabet City AirBNB so comforting

We experienced Andrew Schneider's Now Is When We Are today, I was overwhelmed and started crying multiple times. In a good way! It hit a lot of the same themes as Arrival which happen to be some of my favorite themes.
