it's a few chats that all kind of converged around some form of nostalgia.

that, and trying to suss out what impediments in our lives are bc of our phones, and what might be just good old-fashioned self-defeat.

oh and tamagotchis — remember those?

The great Ozzy Osbourne has gone through the final change on this plane of existence. Here is an arrangement of “Changes” by Black Sabbath that I humbly offer in tribute. RIP.

One of our local venues runs a film series throughout the year, which is the only chance around Chattanooga to see some classic movies in a theater. Seeing this for the first time tonight.

Keep thinking about this Alan Shapiro poem that A.E. Stallings discussed in her talk on rhyme at the Sewanee Writers Conference yesterday. Never heard of Shapiro but immediately ordered one of his books when we got out.

Went into this with low expectations, given its reputation, but I ended up knocked out by it. Extremely funny, of course, but also mournful and angry. Has a sentence (or several) every couple of pages that I would just marvel at. I used to hate Pynchon but now I see how wrong I was.

Sat down this morning and made a list of my favorite albums this year. Hard to pick a singular favorite: maybe the caroline record, maybe The Tubs (certainly my most-listened this year), maybe the John Cage recordings, which sparked a small obsession with his music (the piece "Dream" most of all).

I asked students to memorize passages from Macbeth, a first for me, and today was the deadline, which means I had students approaching me throughout the day to recite Shakespeare. It was delightful, one of the best things that’s happened this school year.

Haven’t spent much time with John Cage’s music until now, but in the past few days I’ve been obsessed with this “Dream” piece on the new Apartment House release:
