You know you're cooked when rewatching your favourite sitcoms start leading you down rabbitholes like these...
TIL that Parks & Rec creator Michael Schur (also B99, The Office) was obsessed with David Foster Wallace and his shows are filled with references to Infinite Jest.
Also, fun sidebar: Parks & Rec coined the term Galentine's Day and introduced it into the modern day lexicon. Watching the show as a kid - I always assumed the show themed the episode around the day but the show coined and introduced the tradition instead.
@ku1deep Strongly resonate with this - had gotten into this habit of documenting my thought spirals on an LLM. The articulation gives an illusory feeling of better understanding of oneself but adds a 'cut to the chase' spin on ponderance which in itself shouldn't be rushed.
I often think about curating my media consumption and publishing it in Dec/Jan. Time to embrace this edit instead of my letterboxd for the past year's cinema recap - my chronically binging persona feels super validated recognising almost every scene in this edit.
Evolution of my go-to Christmas movie as I grew older: Home Alone, Main Hoon Na, Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets, Die Hard, Holdovers, Die Hard (again).
