Hellooo Sternal Journalists,
I had a great week. I also had a tiring week. The sun is back in full force in Los Angeles, and I have forgotten that it saps me of my powers. I also have a theory that—and please do not keep reading if you want to avoid some light schoolyard crudeness—
okay?
If you want, you can scroll past the next paragraph to a cute picture of a dog, and there will be no more crudeness after that.
Okay, I warned you.
—I think when the sun is beating down, it kind of cooks the poop inside me? Sous vide so to speak? And then I really have to go. Totally ruined my run today. Did this information ruin your morning, or are you totally on board and do you agree? I happen to know that quite a few doctors and other scientists read the Sternal Journal, so please chime in.
Okay, time for dog picture.
And finally, please, if you live within the boundary of Mid City West (or are in the Writers Guild or SAG, or work/associate with another group that is located in the area), don’t forget to request your ballot! Today is the last day and I would really love myself and the rest of the progressive slate to be reelected!
Okay, I know this was the most whiplashy SternJourn of all, but I promised myself I’d be in bed by 11 and it’s 10:56, so quickly…
Recommendations!
The Studio. Television Show. I adore this Hollywood satire about a new studio head. It’s created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and it’s the most mature thing they’ve ever done, but also very true to their sensibilities.
White Lotus Season 3. Television Show. Finished it tonight, and I think though it’s the weakest of the seasons, it’s still well worth a watch. Carrie Coon’s monologue really spoke to me and I do not necessarily like that about myself.
Reddit LA Burger Quest. Reddit Post. A bunch of years ago, some dear friends and I set out to do a “burger bracket” where we determined the best burgers in LA. We argued a lot and were terrible at scheduling, so even though the friendships are strong as ever, we never completed our quest. Thanks to Reddit user anony1911 for doing this in our place. He literally found and ranked 135 burgers. I am down to try any of these with any of you any time.
Bizarre. Song. I still really like BLP Kosher, and this isn’t my favorite song of his, but it’s new and fun.
Alrighty! Really didn’t check for typos this time. Let me know what you think of my theory and please request your ballot!
Love!
Julian!
Normally, I use this area to say that you can upgrade to paid if you’re rich. I hugely appreciate those of you who have, but nobody should ever feel pressured to! AAAAALSO though, if you’re the type to hit a like or leave a comment and you just haven’t thought of doing it on the SternJourn yet, come on in! Lemme know if you love or hate the recs! All engagement unfortunately is good engagement. But if you do not have time, get outta here and don’t worry about it! I’ll see ya next week!
Also also, if you would come to a show if I was in your city, fill out this form (same form as before, so no need to refill if you already have!) It helps me plan and also prove to bookers that I have some sway in your place!
Nah, it's not the sun, it's the movement itself before you had a sit in. Keeps me from running in the early morning too.
