Excited for the new All Time Low album! Oh No! is my favourite lyrically though not musically, and Butterflies and Sucker Punch are bangers.

I think they've grown up with their audience. Still love their old work, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the new music too!
In front of a white background, 4 white men in solid coloured jumpsuits (yellow, green, red, blue from left to right.) Colourful text above the men reads "everyone's talking!"

Foster kitty needed a quick snuggle session in between her crime spree
Seen from above, a fluffy brown tabby cat is sleeping on her back, leaning against a human's pant leg. Her front paw is resting on the leg. A person's arm is resting against the cat's back.

Oh and I found East of Eden at the used bookshop so please expect screeching on the skyline again. Grapes of Wrath consumed my life earlier this year, and I need something to lose myself in until I can start God-Emperor of Dune

#Booksky
Two paperback books on a white bed. The leftmost book is titled "Interfaces: An Anthology of Speculative Fiction edited by Ursula K. Le Guin and Virginia Kidd" and has lots of crystals, one containing a human face, on the cover. The rightmost book is titled "East of Eden by John Steinbeck" and has a pale yellow cover with two white men and one white woman. The woman is naked except for a pink sheet, and is looking away from the men. One man grips her shoulder. The other man stands back, watching them and leaning on a shovel.

I just hide my face in this thing. It's like being an ostrich but the fluff is softer and nicer smelling than sand.

Rereading The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse and p. 87 hits on something that's really bothering me about Castalia. (Also the insistence that a perfected world of academia be entirely inaccessible to and devoid of women, but apparently that's just a Hesse thing so I don't mind it.)

A page of a book. Highlighted text reads: We analyze the laws and techniques of all the styles and periods of music, he points out, but produce no new music ourselves. We read and exposit Pindar or Goethe and are ashamed to create verse ourselves.

Being an uncle is suffering when your niece and nephew are little shits (Children of Dune, page 136)
A photograph of a yellowed page of a book. Text reads as follows: Stilgar glanced back up the crowded passage. His guards would have spread an alarm if anything were amiss. He shook his head. These twins assaulted his sanity. They were a constant abrasion against his peace of mind. He could almost hate them. Kin were not immune from one's hatred, but blood (and its precious water) carried demands for one's countenance which transcended most other concerns. These twins existed as his greatest responsibility.

Blue Powerade and Dune movies from last night
A table with a glass bottle and two glass cups of blue liquid. In the background there's a TV showing Princess Irulan from the movie 'Dune: Part Two' (2024)

I took a break after finishing Messiah, but after my friend and I watched the recent Dune movies I decided to borrow Children of Dune. The first paragraph was disturbing and the first 10 pages made me audibly gasp in horror. It's pretty gripping!
#Booksky
Paperback copy of "Children of Dune" by Frank Herbert. Cover shows the black silhouettes of two children, one with long hair and one with short hair, against an orange sky.

Rereading Treasure Island and was pleasantly surprised by a poem "to the hesitating purchaser" in the front.

#Booksky
TO THE HESITATING PURCHASER If sailor tales to sailor tunes, Storm and adventure, heat and cold, If schooners, islands, and maroons And Buccaneers and buried Gold, And all the old romance, retold Exactly in the ancient way, Can please, as me they pleased of old, The wiser youngsters of to-day: - So be it, and fall on! If not, If studious youth no longer crave, His ancient appetites forgot, Kingston, or Ballantyne the brave, Or Cooper Of the wood and wave: So be it, also! And may I And all my pirates share the grave Where these and their creations lie!

i refuse to believe girl cat slander bc i was claimed by a cat who demanded bedtime at 10pm so that she could sleep on my hip. some days i woke up to her rubbing her chin on my head, and when i had a tummy ache she was in my lap or on my back kneading the pain away ☺️

(she's alive! i just moved out)
View from above of a brown tabby cat curled up on her side. She is "shrimping" with her tail and hind legs stretched out together, and her front paws resting on her hind legs.
