My copy of The Complete Cheap Truth arrived today. I am doing teh research.

The very same. I do have a copy of About Agrippa, which ran me about $250.

I have written a letter to Rob Roberts, editor-in-chief of the National Post.

I made my cat a faux Rothko colour field painting for her bathroom. I chose blue since I’ve heard it’s the colour cats see most vividly. There are seven different blues in it, including Stuart Semple’s IKB analog. It’s genuinely difficult to photograph.

Progress! I’m not much into military stuff, so I’m turning this military crab mech into a machine that cleans industrial waste from rivers.

My cyberpunk TTRPG system is about 80% written, and I've started working on a visual style to help inspire me to get over the last hurdles. Here's my first draft of a potential cover for the guide.

When I was a child, I dressed as Alf for Hallowe'en one year. It was my scariest costume ever.

I just scanned some photos from my visit in 1998 to show what I mean. The first photo is ground level; the second photo was taken from the top of the ramp in the first photo. The other two are paint preserved inside the temple.

I found a picture of me, my grandparents, and my first dog, Toby Titmouse. (My mom named him before I was born.) He was a grumpy old rez dog, but I loved him.

I saw this illustration on Reddit and immediately had a backstory. I gave him a poncho & a rat instead of a bird, & now he’s a cranky 600yr old homeless divination wizard named Boot who doesn’t remember how he became immortal.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

Though it aired on CBS, it's actually a Canadian show (1986–1988). The lead character's left hand had been crushed by the Stasi and he could no longer use it, so he kept it hidden in a black leather glove. I was obsessed.

This is what I think of when I hear "The Office of Government Efficiency."

Pattern Recognition, by William Gibson. He’s a delightful person, and this is his best book. The inventiveness of his earlier work, combined with a deep understanding of the zeitgeist.

In the Place of Last Things, by Michael Helm. An exploration of competing visions of masculinity wrapped in a road novel, and gesturing at crime fiction. Michael's books are simultaneously intellectual, visceral, and elegant. Perhaps not his best, but by far my favourite.

The Biographer's Tale, by A.S. Byatt. I've written several times about this book, including for Brick. It's her most adventurous novel & exists at the intersection of traditional Leavisite & postmodern understandings of literature, fully encapsulating her interests as a writer.

Had a great time giving out candy tonight. Full sized chocolate bars and cans of pop. Lots of excited kids.

There are interesting things in A Geology of Media, by Jussi Parikka, and I've seen some useful scholarship that references it heavily, but I was disappointed in how much Parikka uses theory to hold himself at a distance from the materiality he's claiming to study.

Historically speaking, that is not how you defeat fascists. You defeat fascists the Chicago way.
