stay awhile partner (2025-52 weekly post)
last week of the year, officially. we’re dropping the next few days into the first week of next year, as our disorderly calendar demands
i am home agian, in real vacation: the post travel time from christmas to the first. this is the real holiday: lay with cats and watch house (md)
wrote: Scott and Bianca stuff, mostly. its their time to shine. i’ve some time back finished the first three “episodes” of the revolution, so i have to enter the complex morass of the third. that means writing randomization scripts also
else: been reading the devestating Happy Like Murderers. such a strange and frightening cycling writing voice. lots of music. how ya do
it casts a strange and compelling light (2025-51 weekly post)
i’m away from home and my lovely shell scripts so instead of recording all i’ve written (scattered fragments and stories, and a return to my three daughters, if i recall), have a list of things i saw in the airport, my favorite semi-public place:
- a trend of men with oddly manicured eyebrows, or at least eyebrows shaved into patterns i didn’t recognize
- a boy looking out the window comparing the approaching cityscape to minecraft, which he has open on his switch
- unfortunately that’s all i wrote down and it’s been days since i been there
- i wrote an essay about airports on tumblr once and someone liked it, but then i deleted my tumblr and i don’t remember what it was like
goodnight, sleep well dear readers. i’m gonna watch youtube and do flash cards :)
apartment 2A is open (2025-50 weekly post)
phew: between sickness, christmas, 3 late nights, racoons, and karaoke, i barely wrote: just a revision to a beautiful tale of nannyhooks, literally yesterday
oh well!!!!!
and i cleaned some site code up and learned some haskell and drew pictures on my ipad. why would i try to learn haskell? i wont use it in my life
here are some good karaoke songs
- life during wartime (talking heads)
- love shack (its fun voices)
- punk rock girl, by dead milkmen
- bug like an angel (as a bit, lower the mood)
in addition
in another year, perhaps the next year, might expand these into retrospectives, as a bit (synonym for resolution)
let them know its christmas time this year (2025-49 weekly post)
bc it is december and bc its therefore holiday season, we put our tree up for the year and watched terrible christmass movies. its a cultural thing: once child actors no longer bring us celebrated joy, we put them in intentionally bad holiday movies, as a humiliation ritual. this, the tv says, is why you never should be famous. its better being quiet, after all
(what i mean to say: i finished revising the first half of the Revolution this week: exciting. it was my goal to get it by the end of the month, and i was (thankfully) done by the third. now i only need a way to publish)
how to make a thanksgiving meal (2025-48 weekly post)
mac and cheese. it must be baked. stovetop is a different meal and we all know this but to chance the names would deny our language its fluidity, which im thankful for, ok?
(submitted twice, its an end of the month thing. returning to Lucas and Diane for some lovely new additions, otherwise working the same; started tv-watching house; first week off of work (dont worry, vacation); saw kevin barnes live in nyc again, im like those people who love phish and all their versions)
