scrubbing floors this morning i kept thinking about peanuts (the comic strip) and getting really sad over it; i:m still fixated on the idea of learning nahuatl as my attempt at learning a distinctly american classical language, but i feel i ought to actually invest in a workbook for that

inazuma eleven victory road is less a videogame and more so a trick by the devil to make you watch a full episode of anime while holding a game controller like a complete idiot the entire time; i think i:ll go to church this morning

cleaning today had me sifting through stacks of old envelopes that were completely infested with silverfish and lizard eggs; i would hold a stack of envelopes, bap them on the ground, and fat silverfish would fall out and scurry and old white lizard eggs would fall like beans; i found two skeletons

i:m in love with helen dewitt! i hadn:t read in two days because i was too cold; i:m very cold today; i made a goat cheese quesadilla because my wraps fell apart; i made carrot potato curry; i:ve been very lazy lately; i:ve hated a lot lately; i:ve been desperate for others lately; i:ve had an idea

i prayed especially often lately about needing motivation to write and the dead thing vibrates and small tragedies happen and i am too upset to think of much except writing; there:s this excerpt (pic) from The Last Samurai about the hero accomplishing their quest leads to the dissolution of the Hero
November 9, 2025 at 8:09 PM
the last samurai, what a lovely book; it reminds me a lot of iris and keffie -- i feel a little less lonely reading it; i:ve been very lonely lately and feeling aimless without the sabbath here and without my october rewrite to work on every morning; feels a tooled lever to make me TALK and POST

i was so in love with reading last night that i was surprised an hour passed, reading on this mothers obsession with a pianist describing an interview where the pianist wished to know the true form of percussion and explaining the notes a piano makes as only ever a dying or dead thing; i love dewitt
November 7, 2025 at 5:53 PM
really have been loving the last samurai and feel myself falling in love with how helen dewitt writes; i tried making an effort of studying her prose yesterday with my writing, noticing how little she uses 'and' highlighted by choice to use bold outstanding '&'s instead; azarinth healer is fun too

finished a vollmann short story this morning to justify starting helen dewitt's last samurai while at the hospital this morning -- really enjoyed what i read and it reminded me what i love about books, and made me wish i stayed in college for sake of networking with researchers about this & that
November 3, 2025 at 5:46 PM
i:m home; i was feeling very burnt out on audiobooks lately but today realized i just needed to return to the litrpg, and have been really enjoying azarinth healer, it:s made me look forward to monotonous labor again; i:m really happy with haunted house, that + warpship lamina i:m proud of

notes from church; went this morning -- was tempted by a church sister with food; felt a little odd about it, i was led by temptation to betray etiquette and write numbers for the church; the seed that falls to the thorns suffocates, etc; very cold

the october subscriber post is done, and here: demon5equal10birth5day3equal8.substack.com/p/october-su...
thank you everyone who supported me; it means a lot to me, always
November 1, 2025 at 12:53 AM
i forced myself to illustrate something for the story, and posted it on my other socials; now: just to finish up the monthly post tomorrow and i can say goodbye to october
October 31, 2025 at 2:04 AM
shamelessly advertising this again; i couldn:t sleep last night because i was excited to have finished it; i would like to do an illustration for it but i just can:t come up with anything lately; my thumbnails were all dead; if you read it, let me know!
demon5equal10birth5day3equal8.substack.com/p/haunted-ho...
i finished it; i couldn:t make an illustration that i was happy with, so i:m only posting it here until i decide if i like this picture for it or not -- but please read it, if you:d like; it:s a little more depraved, for me, than usual

just finished writing; i:ll be late; i realized yesterday i was exhausted and went to bed
October 28, 2025 at 9:31 PM
hoping to have the writing for haunted house 2025 finished tonight, then some illustration for it done tomorrow, and posted then, coinciding with the 8th day sabbath; had no input on the draft because it:s basically too embarrassingly erotic for me to ask anyone to read; i:d feel weird about it
October 27, 2025 at 7:25 PM
posting, two days in a row, because a rare occurrence: saw on /rsbookclub this article archive.ph/DV8z2 about angelicism01 and had a big "hey i knew angelicism, i remember that person" moment; was sad i wasn:t featured but i:m a footnote at the very height of whatever relevance; still just writing
October 23, 2025 at 6:08 PM
i:ve been having a lot of fun with writing this years haunted house, it:s close to being finished; it:s maybe the most self-indulgent thing i:ve written, and is basically erotica -- in time for halloween

here:s the programming for this week; busy with haunted house rewrite, so it:s very short this week
October 20, 2025 at 5:57 PM
itagaki died; that moved me enough to want to post--just a strange person to see die; i:ve been watching oniisama e, and writing haunted house (3rd revision); i:ve been reading a lot
