The following is from my personal journal, with names redacted to protect the innocent. I haven’t updated this (blog? Site? Garbage dump of the soul?) since fucking April, and not that anyone’s checking back for updates, I figured this particular piece of writing might provide some insight as to why that is. I suspect that … Continue reading She’s Alive, But She’s Not Doing Great (featuring a real journal entry)

The Sisyphus Shuffle
Saturday sunset, 04/20/24 (it was a lot more pink in person but the colors are still pretty) I have writer’s block. Sort of.

The Magical and Maddening Properties of Time (Only Slightly Tamed By a New Special Interest in Spreadsheets)
Hello, gentle reader. It has been over a month since my last confession post, and while there hasn’t been much happening of note, I’m still frustrated with myself for such a span of silence.

Cosmic Loves Movies #0
I have a lot of fun faffing about in Procreate* making things for my own amusement, including this logo which I made in loving tribute to the website that made managing my 2022 Year of Movies possible, the one and only Letterboxd. Should I be asked to both cease and desist, I shall! But I … Continue reading Cosmic Loves Movies #0
