Can’t believe it’s been nearly five years sense I started on this novella.

The whole thing was a kind of experiment of simulating the symptoms of my diagnosis.

Here is my review of El topo for anyone who is interested. Though there is a lot of stuff that could trigger someone with this film so I would apply caution and read a synopsis first.

i've heard of a "critical failure", but this is ridiculous

T-Rex: Our lives are finite, and one day they will end - possibly suddenly AND by surprise! T-Rex: Whoops! T-Rex: Really sorry if you're just hearing this now for the first time!! T-Rex: Anyway, that's Fact One. Fact Two is that there are more movies than we can watch in a lifetime, more games than we can ever play in a lifetime, more books than we can read in a DOZEN lifetimes. EVERY SINGLE TIME we choose to enjoy one instance of art, we're shutting out dozens, hundreds more - media that we will NEVER ENJOY! T-Rex: The clock's ticking, babies! Hope you choose well, because there's no second chances! Utahraptor: Sure, T-Rex! Utahraptor: But that's what CRITICS are for: they spend THEIR finite lives reviewing TONS and TONS of material, so that WE can spend more of OUR finite lives on the good stuff! The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days, but in this case, it DEFINITELY applies to critics. T-Rex: Damn. So true! Narrator: PS: DON'T FORGET TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT DINOSAUR COMICS AND HOW YOU THINK IT'S SUPER COOL AND GREAT! BUT IF YOU THINK IT'S BAD, THEN UH, I GUESS IGNORE THIS PRO-CRITICS COMIC AND JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR OPINIONS EVER AGAIN Narrator: IT'LL BE FINE, I PROMISE

Chaotic unhappiness

Only so
many memories

Most of
them getting
on every
one’s nerves

“Take this”

I swallow a little rectangle of pills

“What was it?”

“A bar”

Thirty minutes later

“I can’t believe that didn’t calm you down.”

I recently started getting my news mostly through the print exition of Guardian Weekly, and it has been life-changing. I still check multiple sources on the events most important to me, but just happening across non-trending world news I wasn't searching for, some good even, has been amazing.

The one thing I really miss about the 'older world' is browsing library stacks, and card catalogues. However much I appreciate databases and retrieving what I want in moments, the serendipity of 'the book next to the one I wanted' and 'the article in the same issue' cannot be replicated. #Libraries
