Paring down my bookshelf is proving to be more difficult than expected. I have books I kept through multiple cross country moves, for close to 15 years (no one has to know that I haven't even read them). Anyhow, anyone wants my books lol

neighbourhood fb groups are wild. i live in the burbs, and the closure of the second local Starbucks generated quite the buzz. Three weeks later, I checked the group again: there was a 3rd thread about said starbucks closure, with 200+ replies!

10 minutes on twitter and I'm still as clueless as ever about pop culture (not that I mind or care) but also holy fuck, so they can openly say those things now? To paraphrase a line from Slow Horses: What's the stuff that's too vile for them to say out loud?

ok california please figure your sh*t out so we can have summer time all year round. I barely blinked since getting up and sitting down at my desk and it's already dark, no time to go outside for any natural light at all (I also start work early, in the dark)

after an intense week that felt like 2 non-stop days, I lasted 5s of Pluribus (it was the sound! couldn't stand anything jarring after the week I had). Put on something corny and mindless to veg out and was rewarded w/ one of my favorite songs at the end... I won't say which show and which song tho

Can't look at any glowing screen anymore. I'll be in front of the fireplace flipping the physical pages of my comfort book.

crashed a movie shoot this morning. as in, drove into a parking lot that was blocked off for a movie shoot. So... watch out for my car in your next show 😬
(no one was harmed in the process... ok, maybe there was a 🤏teeenny tiny traffic cone that was kind of invisible and kind of got run over)

Binged 4 seasons of Slow Horses over 4 weekends (and a long flight). Im saving s5 for when I need to watch tv next
Im like the worst type of audience. I dont watch tv much or often, and even when I really like a show, I can stop watching whenever(sorry Orphan Black, you lasted for a good 2 seasons)

you know how in Slow Horses when Roddy asked River for the real reason he was in Slough House and River was just about to tell him but changed his mind? (Roddy was there because no one could stand him.)
I felt that today. Sometimes I feel some people can't help being the way they are.

Read Ted Chiang's Liking What You See on the airplane. Man, this guy and the topics he chooses to write about!!! And the angles he goes at them 🤯
Also, Ted Chiang/Massive Attack is a very enjoyable combination.

A few days a month I feel more things much more intensely. Moderately moving stories make me tear up. A good piece of writing makes my heart almost burst with awe and emotions. A random reminder makes me miss people terribly.
PMS is wild. But I also kind of like these intense feelings.

ok Slow Horses is also quite good. Best spy thriller I watched in recent years. (While we're at it, Black Bag was very meh. Black Doves, on the other hand, was entertaining, in a pulpy and overly stylized way.)

I make a point of not following US news. But now I actually have to care for the next few days. What's going on?!? Are airports working?

I know I've been online too much when I suddenly feel the urge to tell someone on the Internet they're wrong.

I was driving back from my trail run on my day off in my hydrid car, with Calexico blasting on the stereo and the windows slightly open (so as not to disturb the neighbourhood).
Then it dawned on me that oh no, I am a fucking stereotype (of my age and my environment).
