I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

that’s not a drive by on WN. there is nothing wrong with writing commercial fiction!

a thing that has surprised me across the years is that i’ve never been a Don DeLillo person. (Everyone likes WHITE NOISE because it feels written to be liked by everyone). I’m about to take another run at LIBRA.

I did not like NIOH. I skipped NIOH 2. But NIOH 3? I love it. The very generous demo sold it to me and I am having a fantastic time

Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.

I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

im going to a place called Magic Mountain, and i can only hope it was named after Thomas Mann

i’m upgrading as a Vermonter. i’m going skiing next Friday

a snowstorm calls for dim lighting and whisky highballs

i’ve started DIVINITY ORIGINAL SIN 2… it’s amazing how similar this is to BALDUR’s GATE 3. it’s incredible!

The first five headings of Kofi Awoonor’s Wikipedia page: Early life, Education, Career, Poetry, & Death

i finished TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN, and the final thing I hadn’t seen by Lynch, yesterday, which turned out to be the one year anniversary of his death (which began this journey in the first place). Coincidence but signs n symbols and all that…

I may just pitch it instead at this point

I’m writing the longest Letterboxd review of my life for TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN.

How to improve publishing:

Publish fancy hardbacks and affordable paperbacks on the same day (instead of a year apart).

Don't sign authors for what they represent, but what they write.

Sign 20 debuts for £10k each instead of one for £200,000.

Ban celebs from kid's lit.

De-emphasise the Booker.

it’s great. It’s hateful.

TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN is probably the best and longest “fuck you!” i’ve ever watched

hit play on the final episode of TWIN PEAKS (my first time)

Ed and Norma are finally together in TWIN PEAKS. It only took 3 seasons and 28 years! I’m crying, yes.

cool main cinema screen… time for MARTY SUPREME

it is a unique, husky performance

im watching KEEPER (2025) and very distracted by how the leading actor sounds like a cartoon dog

[crawling on my hands and knees from the car wreckage] the word “reactionary” actually means to refuse social reform… the word you’re looking for is … “reactive” [dies]

so good. Park Chan-wook is a one off.
