Remember when i told Fiona Svetlana Billingsley that i'd be out with the recognitions for a coupla months? i was "only kidding" at the time, but - yeah - that turnt out t’be pretty much the case. .. and there's a lot of updates here at the Motel : Big Sean's Detroit (mixtape) doesn't *seem* to enjoy a physical existence (i'm - how you say? - "streaming" it now !).
EXACTLY ONE OF YOU,
.. by which i mean Marie Mundaca, suggested going-off-of-Netflix *tomorrow* FLOWERS. Olivia Colman .. Julian Barratt (the crowd brought us together ..). for me it hit a certain sweet-spot / something funnier than a J. Shirley horror novel (Wetbones .. In Darkness Waiting), but more serious than the hoaxedelic game/documentary This Is My Milwaukee (2008/2009). with a little faith you can maybe watch it all in 6 hours !
