I have seen Ludacris in concert (granted, I didn’t intend to – he was opening for Outkast at the Fox Theater in Detroit in 2000). I know his music, yet I think I like this better than any of his songs.
Sorry for that burn Luda, but I have to speak the truth.

Wait, Wonderstruck is being directed by Todd Haynes?!?!?! How did I miss that? I’m so much more excited now. Hoping he brings the unnerving pathos of Safe and boldness of Superstar.
Yeah, pretty cool, right?
Wow, I was not aware they had book washes like that. seems like it works better than most car washes in town.
