One of the big pluses about audiobooks is that I can finally learn how to pronounce things

Almost halfway up The Magic Mountain and I'm waiting for it to be boring like I've heard it was. Starting to think that is a Moby Dick situation where the book actually rocks and the people I hear talk about it have no taste and are also uncool

Hate when I make the mistake of remembering that I breathe and then I have to like manually breathe for 30 minutes until I forget again

As a Saya Iida fan from the jump, very happy to see her win the tag league in Stardom

The name Van Hammer was totally wasted on the wrestler Van Hammer

I wish I loved anything the way Jon Fosse loves doubling

Beautiful

Saito Brothers so good

Eternal fight internally about what's the real masterpiece from Oblivion: The Soul is Not a Smithy or Good Old Neon

I like watching Kenta Kobashi fight Dr Death Steve Williams because it’s cool seeing two of the widest men I’ve ever seen in my life try to kill each other

The Eagles play the Ravens today which means Cresap’s War is back on

Watching Nia Jax wrestle continues to be a painful experience

The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk

Finally finished The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk which has occupied pretty much my whole November. Not a bad thing though, what a journey. I really dug how I was able to use my Grandpop’s handed down knowledge of Polish pronunciation to limp through all of these names

Reading William Blake and watching Jackass 3

Need one of those dog vests that says Nervous on it

Repost this if Trans people should have Samus Arm Cannons (below, a diverse collection of implicitly trans people wielding trans pride flags and also huge scifi arm cannons)

Girl, same

Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti

Five writers of whom I've read 5+ books

Stephen King
Denis Johnson
Cormac McCarthy
Clarice Lispector
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Might be blasphemous but my first non fiction Vollmann

I would still very much like posts on Bluesky to be called 'Bluets'

I’ve eaten less chicken finger platters this year than ever before and it makes me sick

Pale Flower rocks

Fried octopus balls hate to see me show up

If I was eating a sandwich and Saquon Barkley wanted it, I would give him the sandwich no questions asked

Survivor Series 1997 has a team made of The Road Warriors, Ahmed Johnson, and Ken Shamrock which is like a Stone Cold away from being the ideal team for me as a kid

Love when a book is told from different perspectives and they all contradict each other

I’ve been waiting for The Blair Witch Project to get the kind of release a movie as good as this one deserves and it finally happened

Re-watched the Connor’s Wedding episode of Succession today for the first time since it originally aired and while I don’t think it is marred from knowing what is going to happen, I do miss that feeling I got watching it the first time and realizing what was happening
