Some books I read last year that I really enjoyed:
- Anne Enright - The Wren, The Wren
- Dijana Matković - Zakaj ne pišem
- Kaveh Akbar - Martyr!
- Ann Leckie - Translation State

Ker večinoma poslušam glasbo, ki ni bila izdana v zadnjem letu, moji letni toplisti niso ravno relevantni, ampak imam vseeno tri nove albume, ki so (zame) zaznamovali 2025:
- Rosalía - LUX (art pop)
- Matt Carmichael - dancing with embers (jazz fusion)
- Oklou - choke enough (elektro art pop?)

Pogovori s prijatelji (ne knjiga, dejanski pogovori) in ples sta rešila teden.

Me planning to finish another 6 books this year, having read 2 in the past couple of months.

Jump scare na prvi strani Airbeletrine trenutno ... Nowhere is safe. Poskušam najt satiro v tem, da je taka pesem objavljena s tako sliko.

Read an interview where they mentioned this architectural agency and I really like how they do their photos. It's not soulless like plenty of other photos of newly built or renovated living spaces I've seen.

Tole sem videla včeraj, točno zajelo moje občutke.

Popolni dnevi Ganljiva filmska pesem o iskanju lepote v drobnih trenutkih vsakdanjega življenja. Film z nostalgičnim glasbenim izborom, ki vključuje klasike Louja Reeda, Patti Smith, Nine Simone in drugih, je Kodži...

Thank you, I'll give it a watch for sure!

Just remembered I did a presentation on Atget in uni. It was where I first learned the word flânerie. He just lugged this giant large format camera around Paris and documented the streets for half his life.

Been clicking around on random last.fm profiles and found this youtu.be/ih3RGFgCCO0?...

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

I wrote about Neil Gaiman, and the women accusing him of sexual coercion, assault and abuse. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

Meni je bil liči dober kakšen teden nazaj, tudi v Hoferju. Manga pa nisem našla dobrega v Sloveniji še nikoli, občasno kupim zamrznjenega.

A naj grem gledat Nosferatuja, če mi je bil The Lighthouse všeč, grozljivk si pa na splošno ne upam gledat? Razen The Exorcist sem pogledala in mi je bil fin.

Zdaj je verjetno prepozno, ampak guest account? Tam je (vsaj od začetka) prazno namizje :)

Jaz vsak dan ovsene kosmiče skuhane v vodi, gor pa jogurt, sadje, oreščke, kdaj tudi med in mleta semena. Raznolikost je za kasnejše obroke 🤷

Mentor sem slučajno najprej slišala 😅 Pride ostalo še na vrsto, ampak ne znam dovolj švedsko, da bi lahko besedilo prav cenila.

hbomberguy also did a video about it, and the supposed link was just the flimsiest unsupported bullshit in obvious pursuit of patenting a (worthless) new treatment and making bank. youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc

Tihi bralni klub, velneška storitev knjižnice Skupinsko branje v tišini in brez obvez – v tihem bralnem klubu – je inovativen način koristnega preživljanja prostega časa in drugačna oblika bralnega krožka.

A imamo to tudi v LJ? Jaz in upokojenci nucamo. (Nisem vedela, da je "velneški" beseda, ni mi všeč)

Predor, by Pavlov 10 track album

Začela s tem, mogoče še kaj

Danes je Bandcamp Friday (= Bandcamp ne pobere svojega deleža pri nakupu), tako da, če bi podprli manjše umetnike, ki od Spotifya ne dobijo nič, je danes taprav dan.

Ne vem, če ima nujno veze s starostjo, Van Morrison je začel v 60-ih. 😁 Ostali so pa bolj novi, priznam. Ampak fini!

My SpotifyWrapped top 5: Van Morrison, Matt Carmichael, Badbadnotgood, Bon Iver and Annika Norlin.

Da ne bom samo jamrala, tole je moj letošnji top 5, zraven pa kar z last.fm misliva, da je bolj pravilen vrstni red.

(Za uporabnike iOS priporočam Overcast)

Vsako leto, ko pride ven Spotify Wrapped, me preseneti koliko ljudi posluša podkaste na Spotifyju. Podkasti so bili tako lepo organsko decentralizirani (hvala, RSS, a real one), zdaj se jih pa daje na platforme. :(

Having an accountability buddy really helps me, but I do need one every step of the way, which is not practical at all.
