Trying to catch up on the to-read list. A fan of plants in general 🌱 🍉
3 weeks in, seems like a good time to commit to the resolution

Pulses found and with rates increasing, neurons firing away and boots moving to send cheeks into outer space, hopefully.

Been behind on reading and posting here, but this feels like a time that Erik Larson would write about. Saw his The Splendid and the Vile on a bookshelf in a YT video and began to think our current moment is reminiscent of In the Garden of Beasts.

Pretty sure the NYT Connections people are sadistic fucks

And a night out in LA with some good company

I've been thinking of Howl for years after reading it in school, found it for 50 cents at a library sale. Just something about letting it all go in meter and with poetic density resonates with me. My thought processes often feel like this, so thought to check the source itself again.

A little behind on cards, still in my fairly mundane phase here

I need to visit the library shop more often, love getting a whole cookbook for a dollar. Some holes in the first page but otherwise undamaged 🤓

Need more of this in 2025. Will probably really need it 🫠😁

A burst of color in autumn

Now I can fully indulge in the grocery and retail (and the mall?) Christmas jams. I really loathe hearing them before Thanksgiving except for this jam by Vince Guaraldi, this one can always warm me up www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvK3...

Day late, but just wrapped up A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Now that I'm older, it feels a little odd to see lil Woodstock eating a turkey. Yes, it's a cartoon and birds eat other birds all the time and the feeling remains. Anyways, now that this moment is cleared, I can go all in on Christmastime 🎄

Thankful I can just be mundane here a moment before this becomes whatever it will become! Played Poetry for Neanderthals and found it a delight and easy to play with new friends 😊

A season for murder mysteries and conspiracies? Haven't played a bluffing game in awhile, currently telling others I am a terrible liar 👀

In other news, finished a book scrutinizing various diet studies and celebrated by trying these Oreos

Couple resolutions made in the past 2 weeks, one to be a better friend, being more open to just being in it together. I'm inclined to being a loner but others have warmed me up to company. Second is to grow the winter garden, reminded I have winter seeds by checking Hive...

And now to see how everything shakes out. Not wholly sure I understood the local and state items too well, but gave each item some thought. Looking forward to clarification during post election newscasts

This is going to be quite the week starting with an RIP to Quincy Jones. Known your work if not your name my whole life. As I type this I'm hearing "Soul Bossa Nova." Earlier today I was enjoying Rashida in Sunny. Now I'll be seeing you in each episode.

At the age where I can read without glasses or use reading glasses with contacts. Thought I couldn't focus because normal glasses were getting scratched up, turns out I'm just getting old 😴

Building this thing up again, current listen from Book of the Month Club: Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe. Narrated by Elle Fanning

To help get into the previous posts booty shorts, I'll be following a program laid out in this book. Currently going through a practice week to set some numbers and see what I may need to change with a home gym setup

The restart begins with some shorts that keep some goals in mind
