Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect “fuck you” amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don’t get it activated. He won’t find out until they try to run it, I think.

This might be the most horrible idea I’ve ever had.

Hey! That’s a great scene to remember it by. I’m going to to use this in my lesson about this verb next year. Students will love it.

Thank you for expanding on my point. “Drawn” is the past participle, which must be used in passive constructions such as the above. “Drew” is simple past tense.

Not trying to be a jerk. Please take this as kindly as it is meant.

The past tense of “draw” is “drawn.” It is an irregular verb in English.

Silly English.

James Taylor’s Fire and Rain is about exactly this situation.

Yes, thank you!

He was definitely an alcoholic, maybe a messiah of art outside of the even-more-predominant-today “industry.” Definitely a misogynist, not sure about genius. Probs?

Not a huge fan, but I think his Columbo episode “Etude in Black” is genius. HIS genius? Not sure.

I’d love to hear others’ thoughts about this auteur. Yes, this is not an original question, but I’ve never been able to ask anyone else about the subject.

Edit: clarified my take on Cassavetes

Did you meet the man of your dreams, and then meet his beautiful wife? little bitter giggle

The best idea I have heard is to write letters to future self after certain difficult times that you go through with your parents as they age in order to remind your future self of the logical arguments against the most likely arguments of your future self.

The most persuasive argument should be the person who you have picked to give you the letter, and that fact should feature prominently in the letter.
