Links and Life - 6/26/22 (Patreon)

I promise there's more optimism out there, even when the world is just a complete and utter shitshow. 

Dungeons and Dragons - I am on a constant hunt for things that do not require an internet connection and have become more curious about the roleplaying game. As the world has embraced being a nerd and Marvel characters are now a household name – I'm seriously considering revisiting.

D&D Elite Club (wtf)

Retro Watches - The #1 watch question I get is, what are some under-the-radar vintage brands to check out? I present to you this book. Learn about Lip Mach Chronographs or Dior Bulovas. Fun for days. The best thing about it is it's a book that doesn't argue with your taste: no hot takes, just excitement.

Andrew Bird - His new album Inside Problems has been on repeat since it came out. I love his music, I love his process, and I find myself slowing my world down when I listen. His music is passive when you want it and active when you need it. Music heals me. I am nothing without it. (also he's the guest on Monday 6/27) 

The Heartbreak Kid (1972) - Charles Grodin burst onto the scene in this comedy film about a newlywed man on his honeymoon who has second thoughts about his marriage and falls for a different woman. The legendary Neil Simon wrote the screenplay, and for some reason, the only place to watch it is on YouTube.

Weleda Skin Food - I use this stuff every day on my face. It's the best. It smells incredible and gives me the Kirkland glow. FWIW use the lightweight one – the reg stuff is thick af.

Other Stuff

• The One Thing That Connects Us All - Comedian Robby Slowik is a genius
• David Lee Roth on Letterman (1991) - Watch it on mute if you don't dig the music but damn, those fits are fire.
• Bill Fay - Be Not So Fearful  - The next time you're losing it. Listen to this and close your eyes. I said music heals me. I meant it.
