Very much same.

I figured, but I still feel a little guilty to subject people to my idiot thoughts twice-over, lol. I have come down from my spite and reached the self-deprecating portion of the day

I took a shower, ate some ramen, read a chapter of Syllogismes de l'Amertume, took a nap, and indeed: felt a little better!

haha, i'm sorry about that

Sounds up my alley. Relatedly, I tried to covertly film a family Thanksgiving once (think I wrote about this is Daybook?) and it made me feel like I wasn’t there, like a ghost.

My back hurts, I’ve got a sour taste in my mouth, I’m wearing mismatched socks and I need a shower and there’s snow on the ground and my feet are cold. Why yes, I think it is high time for me to pull old buddy Emil Cioran down from the shelf before I maim someone or myself!

This is a beautiful, melancholy and (or so it seems to me) Murnanian short novel. I enjoyed it immensely.

'Twas a pleasure! My second favorite dog to read to.

Heads up. Dear humans in and around Birmingham, Alabama, you are invited to tear up my house in the name of literature on the evening of Dec. 14th, celebrating @nateknapp.bsky.social and DAYBOOK. Dm for sordid logistics. 🖤

Super stoked to read at Alina's house Dec. 14! Hope to see you all there!

Can't wait to listen to this on the ride home later today.

I still need to get your Daybook in the mail! Can’t wait to dig in.

So I see there’s Adam Mars-Jones on Houellebecq in the new LRB. Practically guaranteed to be the most irritating book review of the year.

William Blake was born on this day in 1757. Obsessed with the color of the sun.

Thankful for a good mail day—thanks to @spencerfleury.bsky.social!

Not a bad hotel room, especially after I scrubbed the small amount of blood spatter on the bathroom wall.

People saying this website is less toxic than twitter: I was just showed a post by Seth Abramson. Fuck this shit you guys. This is not what I came here for

Three books that I have devoured in recent times, all of which are of a dark nature. Different hues of darkness. All superb. 

Thanks to @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social for the Blackwood heads-up.
