Quadrupus

My condolences.

And yet, when he went to write poetry, he stuck his finger dirctly into the fucking socket that carries all of the magic of all of the stars and the music and the shimmering particles everywhere. Sure, so-and-so had a day job. Wallace Stevens had a day job but sat down to record why life is worth it

He was VICE PRESIDENT of the insurance company and turned down an Ivy League professorship to keep his gig. Wallace Steven is the Patron Saint of Writer Day Jobs.

There is so much evil in the world.

Speaking of German ingenuity, have you no super duper ubermensch noise canceling headphones?

There were a lot of cookie sheets, exhaust pipes, and various pieces of industrial scrap on a rack

When I was in 7th grade I took my dad to see an Einstürzende Neubauten live show at a waterfront park in Seattle at a summer twilight. Dad was not impressed. I couldn't get there by myself.

Like you cannot even think about Bob Dylan and then think about this other dumb fucking world, you can’t hold both in your head

I love Bob Dylan so much, he is the antidote to everything dumb about culture, like the Kardashians exist? No they don’t because listen to “When I Paint My Masterpiece” ChatGPT wrote a novel? No it didn’t because I married Isis on the 5th day of May

A real man doesn't spend his day hunched over a computer. A real man should be outdoors, staggering about and saying "Hey! who turned out da lights!?" because he got his head trapped in a bucket again

I don't even know what everyone is talking about and I'm glad.

An eternal fox. A fox for all mankind, in any age. The GOAT fox.

good LORD

Just finished writing a short story. I have another one mapped out in my head and ready to go, but I'm just lying down for a sec to let Melpomene catch her breath.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag?
KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag.

Prepping for tomorrow

Nobody has, will, or can read even 1% of the greatest literature ever written. Every canon is incomplete, every library is only a fragment, even the most knowledgeable reader is a blind mouse in an open field. Every encounter is a miracle.

I feel like crap because of the Covid shot and my cats are largely shirking their comforting responsibilities.

I got a Covid shot. Free. #Maryland

"'La nave de los monstruos' is and always will be the essence of cinema" --Jean-Luc Godard

The idea that the presence of strong emotion(s) disputes the validity of a person’s argument is at the core of what’s harming us all.

I've been getting a LOT of rejections lately for stories I sent out a long ass time ago. Blerg.

You fiends!

An image from Etsy's home page reads "Halloweeen essentials we love." Next to this, a pretty woman with straight brown hair and red lips wears a spiky black headdress similar to one Vulnavia wears in "The Abominable Dr. Phibes."

It would appear that Etsy has decided to go Full Vulnavia.
