I am busy working on new brooches. But before I launch them I have three left of my original series.

Those who need therapy often have to pay out of pocket or go without care, even if they have health insurance.

Hundreds of mental health providers told us they fled networks because insurers made their jobs impossible and their lives miserable.

An anhinga--submerged in the marsh save for its head, neck, and a few tail feathers--holds up a warmouth speared by its beak. #birds

This book is turning out to be this wonderful painful joy to read. I described it to someone, vaguely in one sentence as a massacre driven by an anti-democratic period of Korean history, and they simply replied “how human…,” without knowing its title.

Launching directly back into Chloe Zhao’s nonfiction adaption “Nomadland.” Frances McDormand’s Oscar winning performance here is fucking exquisite. The neorealism aspect of capturing real life people is the stuff of legend. Linda May as herself is immortalized cinematic history. So endearing!

Just got out of a Christmas viewing of Hamnet. The film elicited an audibly detectable sniffle response from the audience, followed by a complete minute of silent ovation after the first ending credit dissolved. Jessie Buckley will likely be winning this year’s Academy Award for Best Actress.

A surreal, topsy-turvy hypothetical 1980’s, with the foresight of being written in 2019. The protagonist is youthfully brash and arrogant, cheers for fascism, waxes poetic of the intersection of anthropology and technology, and adopts a strange fixation with a newly purchased android.

Just finished Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Cloud.” Another smaller movie depicting a cutthroat dystopia where nobody gives a shit about anyone other than themselves. Was not an ideal holiday time watch, but that’s a modern movie right there. The last lines are “I’m doomed. So this is how you get into hell..”

nonfiction pickup of the month: “age of the deer.” the writing hits like a post-rock electric guitar riff informed by a gorgeous historical prose reminiscent of a terrence malick film. folky, elaborate, a touch autobiographical, anthropological; and shifting through time at will.

It's Monday, Latin dies Lunae - day of Luna, goddess of the #Moon. Therefore, for #MosaicMonday a detail of a mosaic from the #Roman villa at Orbe-Boscéaz, Yverdon-les-Bains region, Switzerland, depicting Luna in a two-horse chariot.

Happy Monday to all of you!

Sadly, I am not as enthralled with Timothy Zahn’s first Heir of the Empire book as I thought I would be. I’m sure these were great in the early 90’s for Star Wars fans that had been deprived of theater-going experiences and merchandise for many years, but it’s not doing the trick for me.

Drawn a winter Brent Goose down at the Western Undercliff beach, Ramsgate this morning. Only the lovely sunrise for company. Will last for as long as the tide/weather allows.

Currently watching “Phantom Thread” for the first time. It’s pretty much the Anderson/Day-Lewis spiritual sequel to “There Will Be Blood.” Day-Lewis more or less reprises his role of an angry mean old man, but with slightly more subtlety, and this time he’s a dressmaker instead of an oil baron.

Park Chan Wook’s “No Other Choice”
may very well be the best movie of the year so far. It’s better than “Oldboy,” though much different.. and perhaps more like Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite.” I really hope it gets a wide release in USA. Going into this one blind would be a real delight in theaters.

A couple weeks ago I asked if you could pray for my best friend's daughter. It's been a terrible daze since we found out about her brain tumor. Of your charity, please consider donating anything you can and, if nothing else, please share this.

Lord have mercy...

In the early stages of developing a new piece of experimental fiction written in a Shakespearean prose. Approaching the dialogue of its various scenes as a collection of loosely connected poems. It stars the big round guy from Pokemon Red and he’s a raging alcoholic who won’t let go of the past.

Blown away by the quality of the Star Wars fiction works I randomly plucked from the shelves of my local library. It is always seemingly a smaller character from a B-plot with less fantastical, superficial motivations that garner the most interest from me.
