Yes, suffering is real, and sentience is a miracle. Radical acceptance is a sort of “yes, and” response to the existential weight of reality. This is where the concept of “ radical acceptance” can come in handy. It can be hard to accept the brevity and impermanence of existence, the limits of this one life that we get, and the recognition of how very small we are when compared to the entirety of the universe while maintaining a positive attitude. If you’re anything like me, negative thoughts are easy to come by. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things.

The novel machine made Mariano’s restaurant wildly successful, and it was soon adopted by other restaurants hoping to do likewise.īottom line: If you’re planning to waste away in Margaritaville anytime soon, you’ve got a lot of great cocktail possibilities.īut if it doesn’t work out-well, it’s your own damn fault.Whether you add the Grand Marnier to the shaker or serve it on the side, here is how to make this epic drink: The new drinks were so popular that bartenders, armed only with blenders, were hard-pressed to keep up with the demand, so Martinez and a friend-talented tinkerers-converted a soft-serve ice-cream machine into a large-scale margarita maker. The story, described here by researcher Rayna Green, centers around Mariano Martinez, a young Texas restauranteur, who in 1971 began serving frozen margaritas to customers in his restaurant, Mariano’s Mexican Cuisine. Unlike the daiquiri, however, the frozen margarita is distinguished by having its very own frozen-margarita-making machine, the prototype of which can be seen today in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The recipe first appears in Mabel Stegner’s 1952 Electric Blender Recipes and, at least according to Serious Eats, just may be the ancestor of today’s enormous repertoire of frozen blended cocktails. The Waring blender was a popular kitchen appliance by the 1950s, and by 1952, new blender owners were using theirs to make strawberry daiquiris, in which rum, sugar, lime, and frozen strawberries were all pulverized into a cold, slurpy, and scrumptious alcoholic mush. The frozen margarita-basically a tequila-laced slushie-owes its existence to Fred Waring and the electric blender. (Runner-up was the martini.) Margaritas are now churned out in every conceivable flavor from pomegranate to strawberry, raspberry, ginger-pineapple, cucumber mint, green tea, and chocolate, variously served in glasses rimmed with salt or sugar, straight up, over ice, or frozen. As of 2008, the margarita was the most commonly ordered drink in the U.S., accounting for 18 percent of all mixed drink sales. Nowadays, there are hundreds of permutations of margaritas. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, margarita-meaning “a cocktail made with tequila and citrus fruit juice”-first appeared in print in English in 1965, though other sources point out that margaritas were popping up in Jose Cuervo ads as early as 1945. There were gin daisies and whiskey daisies and, eventually, inevitably, tequila daisies, the original recipe for which called for tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and a splash of soda.Īt some point, this Mexican-influenced daisy became known by its Spanish name, margarita, which means daisy in Spanish. Peggy, however, is a traditional nickname for Margaret, hence margarita.)Īccording to cocktail historian David Wondrich, author of Imbibe!, best guess is that the margarita as we know and love it evolved from a cocktail known as the “daisy.” This, a mix of alcohol, citrus juice, and grenadine served over shaved ice, was popular during the 1930s and 40s. (Hayworth’s real name was Margarita Cansino.) Or it was first served up in Galveston, Texas, to singer Peggy Lee. Or it may have been named for actress Rita Hayworth, who was offered one by an admiring bartender during a theater gig in Tijuana in the 1940s.

This one is a pet peeve of mine: Mike Holmes completely messes up drawing moons. Would a dragon city even have a gate? And along the same lines of thinking: Why do Sunny and Smolder walk up the weirdling tower? In the original book, I assumed the tower had multiple floors, so you had to use the stairs, but here there's a clear path to fly right up and avoid the hazardous prisoner half way up. Some other things I only noticed because it was a graphic novel: How do the Outclaws enforce the whole "you need to pay to get into the Scorpion Den" thing? Can't dragons just fly in? They don't need to use the gate. It was made of many intersecting ellipsoids which looked too heavy for their narrow connections to each other. Burn's stronghold was imaginatively drawn, but looked completely implausible. They aren't bad, but they're nothing special. They're both some of my favorite characters and I was excited to see their designs. I was a little disappointed by Thorn's design, and a little more disappointed by Qibli's. It's still the same story as book five, and I like book five. The weirdling tower in particular felt much creepier in visual format than in the book. Burn's weirdling tower and Blister's death scene were well drawn. All of the dragonets' designs, but especially Sunny's, are so expressive! This would be my favorite WoF graphic novel if for no reason other than it has beautiful drawings of Sunny on almost every page. Her design fits her much better than Joy Ang's cover art. Sunny is my favorite character in the graphic novels. My first novel for teenagers was THIS MUST BE LOVE, which retells Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern-day high school, from the POV of the two heroines, Hermia and Helena.Īnd now I'm writing in a new project called SEEKERS!

Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing.

I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay Miami, Florida and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre-mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys.

11/18/2023 0 Comments Shang chi actor characterThese scenes are clearly-staged and well-choreographed. In fact, “fight sequences” might be a better descriptor for most of the action here, as the film relies less on CGI and explosions and more so on martial arts. But what makes the film truly stand out in this long-running franchise is its fresh action sequences, led by the late great Brad Allen, the supervising stunt coordinator for the film. Shang-Chi largely avoids the standard MCU plot of the main character learning to become a superhero, as the titular character’s journey is learning to be himself and accept his legacy, both the good and the bad. It’s not long before “Shaun’s” past catches up to him, and he’s forced to go back to where it all started-and confront his warlord father. He spends his days working as a valet driver at a fancy hotel alongside his best friend Katy (Awkwafina), and they spend their nights singing karaoke till the sun rises. Fast forward to the present day, Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) is now in his 20s, living in San Francisco, and going by the name “Shaun,” having left his past behind and started a new life in the States. Eventually, Wenwu has a son, Shang-Chi, and raises him to become an elite assassin. This opening narration speaks of the legendary Ten Rings, magical objects (weapons?) thousands of years old, whose possession is in the hands of Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung), who uses the rings to conquer kingdoms, topple governments, and alter the course of history across centuries (the rings grant Wenwu immortality) he names his world-dominating army the Ten Rings. The film starts with dialogue spoken in Mandarin, immediately informing viewers this is not your standard American superhero flick. So how does Shang-Chi compare? In short, it’s one of the most uniquely entertaining installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it still suffers from some of the pitfalls that plague most MCU films. Being the first anything comes with incredibly high expectations, oftentimes impossibly high, and especially so in the highest grossing film franchise of all time (by a margin of $13 billion). It’s a shame it’s taken this long for any Asian character to headline their own film, but, alas, here we are. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the 25th film from Marvel Studios, but their first starring an Asian lead and majority-Asian cast. While my reviews are typically spoiler-free (only revealing as much as trailers do), this proved difficult to do for this review since the trailers for the film barely revealed any plot details (which is good!). Warning: the following review contains minor spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 11/18/2023 0 Comments Vchat valheimIn addition to multiple leaderboards, there are now time-based filters for the leaderboards restrict them to today or this week or leave them set to all-time.

A Faulknerian novelist who drinks heavily and abuses his secretary, Audrey (Judy Davis), Mayhew also sees through the posturing of Fink. What do ya need, a road map?"īarton next turns to a fellow writer, W.P. Puzzled at Fink's reluctance to begin the script, Geisler loses patience: "Wallace Beery, wrestling picture. The movie takes an irreverent poke at the industry, setting the hero against such marvelous old-style blowhards as Capitol Pictures' studio boss, Jack Lipnick (Michael Lerner) and the slippery producer Ben Geisler (Tony Shalhoub), who has been assigned to supervise Barton's first film. Still, he's his own weird man, a victim less of the system than of his own unexamined leftist ideals. Neither a talker nor a listener, Barton sometimes calls up visions of the kidnapped baby in "Raising Arizona." Fink, Turturro shows us, is only a babe among the fast-talking big kids of Hollywood. The Coens have as much compassion as contempt for their hero, who looks vaguely like a cross between the brothers, a goofy intellectual at once shyly baffled and supercilious. Yet when Charlie says, "I can tell you stories that would curl your hair," Barton, all wrapped up in how magnanimous he is, barely notices. He claims to be interested in the stories of the common man, in establishing a theater for the masses. Decorated in ghastly shades - maroon, olive drab and bloodstain brown - the Earle seems an organic being as crucial to this haunting tale as the spirit ship was to "The Flying Dutchman." A gurgling, heaving purgatory, it seems a most likely place to teach understanding and punish arrogance.Īnd Barton Fink is assuredly a smug whelp deserving of a lesson. The Earle is also alive with the sounds of night: the creaking of ceilings and the protests of bed springs, grunts, thumps, screams, wails and wheezing doors. That this is a leaky, living hell there is no doubt. It's so hot the wallpaper is peeling off in Fink's room, the paste running down the walls in gooey rivulets. It's 1941 in Los Angeles and a heat wave has settled over the city like a sticky gravy. There is the decidedly rank smell of brimstone in the air at the Earle (its slogan is "Stay a Night or a Lifetime"), the primary setting for this latest version of the Mephistopheles story. Meadows, who seems to embody the qualities of the common man whom Fink so arrogantly imagines he represents in his art, becomes the writer's closest confidant and eventually his wildly unpredictable muse. John Goodman plays this gregarious fellow, a traveling insurance salesman whose frequent intrusions give Fink a not unwelcome excuse for not writing. Unwilling to give up all his snobbish principles, he checks into the threadbare Earle Hotel, a regal dump where he wrestles with his conscience, his assignment and his new next-door neighbor, Charlie Meadows. The giving and gifted John Turturro stars as Fink, a self-absorbed and pompous naif who loses his bearings when he accepts a lucrative position with Capitol Pictures. Barton, whose last name literally means blabbermouth, is an earnest young New York playwright whose widely praised new play, "Bare Ruined Choirs," has drawn notice in Hollywood, the land where greater men than Fink have found their choirs silenced, their inspiration dried up faster than wet nylons under strong sun.Ī deco-period film by Ethan and Joel Coen, "Barton Fink" is in fact their own creative solution to the writer's block that plagued them during the making of "Miller's Crossing." A triumph for the offbeat, grimly funny brothers, it reveals in its mythic fashion the vagaries of the creative process that plague every artist. What "Raising Arizona" was to baby lust, "Barton Fink" is to writer's block - a rapturously funny, strangely bittersweet, moderately horrifying and, yes, truly apt description of the condition and its symptoms. 11/18/2023 0 Comments Google web and app activityOn your Activity Controls page, Google provides a single master switch that lets you pause Web & App Activity, though you’ll have to acknowledge that it may impact your experience of Google sites, apps, and services signed in to your account.
