come on
they didn't seriously start to adapt the running man & get too scared to just let the guy fly a plane into a tower
that's so pathetic
just for that I am going back in time to ten minutes ago when I still couldn't remember which one was the long walk & which one was the marathon man. or whatever

the new orphan black, which nobody told me about (somebody did tell me about it but I forgot) is really charming in the way it does 25-yrs-in-the-future
it's all the same but pointless touchscreens on everything, human-sized giant cellphones (for posting), & the worst trouser shapes you ever saw
November 15, 2025 at 8:06 PM
please PLEASE will you creeps (affectionate) find another five urgent news stories to get in a frenzy about that aren't all just as fuckin disgusting as these two

there might be more than two, today. if there is a third, I do not know it, I will not meet it. I close my mind to it

it’s rose season
that’s the time of the year when I bring home red roses to my beautiful cat
but she is the fairest flower in the garden

I'm so pleased about the sandwich acquittal, not just because the ice guys deserved it & not just because the guy seems so nice, but because I had to endure so many horrible catered lunches when I worked in downtown dc. not from subway, from corner bakery, but it's all the same shit

I'M READY TO MOVE TO NY WHERE DO I APPLY FOR MY FREE APARTMENT
I got such a bad haircut today I thought nothing could make me happy again. but I was wrong

I am rereading (have reread most of) the vampire lestat for the first time since I was 13, out of the great love I bear my fellow man, & I can't believe I forgot the canonical solemnity & ceremony with which the newly turned & risen vampire carries out his Last Ever Trip to the Bathroom

remember the terrific little tanith lee story about the girl who was raised in seclusion & strict ignorance of life's general progression toward death, all servants always replaced before they grew grey or wrinkled, so she never grew physically old herself because it did not occur to her to do so

enjoying a bach cantata

reading the second spooky book I have read in recent years that is built all around the philip experiment. I didn't go looking out for it in either case, the books came to me. I am so angry
leave my favorite spirit nonsense ALONE
it is mine it belongs to me
it has my name on it, can't you READ

boy I wish a director who seems so nice & intelligent & loves literature & hates robots and has so many good opinions and verifiably reads books and knows what he's talking about could make a good movie.
maybe one day
but I don't expect it

for halloween I will be orson welles in the director's cut of malpertuis
this is a complicated costume in that it requires two assistants to attend me, one to speak my lines for me in flemish & the other to hold up subtitles in french. while I lie in bed & mutter soundlessly in my own language

every time I get a new winter coat I get excited for the whole new personality I'm sure will come along with it. but I think the vintage ralph lauren purple-satin-lined floor-length double-breasted midnight velvet one I am just now welcoming into my home is really going to come through

I no longer know what is going on (context: life; this world) but there's no john cale album so good that tattooing half the name of it on your body excuses the rest of your horrible life
(sorry to john cale whom I like very very much)
or if it's about the dos passos book, that can't be good either

a) much like a burning cross or a white hood, a nazi symbol worn on the person or reverently displayed on one's property is a direct death threat. against me, it so happens. also others. the urgency depends on who's doing it, when, and in what company. but it always means that

still thinking about the giant priest who scared me at the supermarket yesterday
large & resplendent in his long black dress, shouting at a person in a parka, in an unknown language. I mean a language I do not know. perhaps he knows it himself. that is possible
it is even likely

call me paranoid but I can't help believing the reason I never got any of the art thief catching jobs they advertised on the art theft mailing list I used to be on, even though I always wrote exquisite cover letters, was because I had said so many times in public that I think art theft is terrific

did you know that the haunting of julia & juliette of the spirits are two different films!!!!
no wonder I could never remember the name of it

remember in SHIRLEY when charlotte bronte says Sometimes you ask for an egg and life gives you a scorpion
& then she has this little fugue about how when this happens you got to squeeze hell out of that scorpion & keep smiling as it stings you through & through, just as if it were the egg you wanted
October 18, 2025 at 12:03 AM
read the worst book ever published on god's green earth, it is or was on several lists of best horror novels because in a dying art all must win & all must have prizes
the author hedged it round with a both a fumbling foreword & smarmy afterword to justify his choice of subject matter. excessive

death is so crotchety & susceptible to reverse psychology, it's a wonder anybody ever does die

on a sunny october afternoon I love to receive a $15.39 settlement payment from a class action lawsuit I didn't know I was in
I forgot how to post without sounding like I am rolling my eyes but I assure you I really do love it

in my utopian future, everyone who reacts to a terrible thought experiment by trotting out their memories & recitations of the only other such story they ever read, which is always the same bit of lesser le guin, will be brought to me for judgment
September 28, 2025 at 10:11 PM
predictable but still deeply off-putting how many people's habitual reaction to a good interview with a political monster is to giggle 'I would just go hide in the woods if mister chotiner wanted to talk to ME.' tee hee, et cetera. can't say it's cute. or funny. he has not got special powers

tylenol is the jimmy kimmel of otc painkillers
like it won't give you organ failure if you don't consume too much of it at once. and it is important to stand up and say that
and say it about tylenol, too
obviously I will defend it. it's fine in fact. but it isn't any good & nobody likes it
