No big deal. Just meeting a hero who ended up being kind and talkative and amazing.

I did so many amazing things in France and Thailand, but feeding and petting capybaras is pretty high on the list.

Prepping my Hack59 for international travel. Silent Shrimp switches and new PBS Black on White keycaps by matt3o. I'm really liking this profile, which is interesting because I usually hate lower profile caps. #mechanicalkeyboards

Review for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - It was fine. Propulsive and dripping with science, but the whole time felt like a retelling of The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. It has already evaporated from my memory. The ending was very unsatisfying, and not in a way that felt intentional.

#bookreview of Luster by Raven Leilani A complicated read on a few levels. A narrator who is remarkably different from me, but with huge overlap. She’s living in Brooklyn, graphic design background, artist, bisexual, non-monogamous, weird. She’s a woman, Black, different trauma, Gen Z. 1/3

I loved this movie! And it once again proves that the greatest evil is Mumford and Sons.

Baudelaire of the Day

The Baudelaire poem The Broken Bell, printed on a ivory linen card stock on a wooden table.

Review of Little Mysteries by Sara Gran. What a little jewelry box of a book. These fragments and thought experiments and dreams. Steeped in mystery genre, but stretching its legs into postmodern play. Feeling at times like an awkward child of Agatha Christie and Italo Calvino. 1/3

Review of And Then And Then What Else by Daniel Handle. It feels a bit narcissistic to say I saw myself on every page of this memoir of a brilliant writer. His complex childhood. Bisexuality, poetry, weird partying, a constant miasma of romance and art and sex. 1/4

Review of Audition by Katie Kitamura. What a strange little novel. Vivid, surreal, internal. I was second guessing everything as the narrator second guessed everything. The logic folded in on itself and yet the strangeness felt natural. (1/2)

I'm obsessed with my vintage Adolfo herringbone tweed coat.

Me, standing in Brooklyn, wearing a grey tween overcoat, blue jeans and black sneakers, looking ridiculously hot.

It's wild that people look at the publishing industry and how it treats both authors and readers and think piracy is the problem. It's like how wage theft completely dwarfs shoplifting.

Secret Mall Apartment at IFC was really wonderful and thought provoking. A lot there about the tension between performance and documentation. The Q&A was really enlightening too.

A little 3D printed bit from Etsy and I finally have the mobile writing station I've been trying to figure out for years! #mechanicalkeyboards

It took the long way to me. On a boat for China. Then hours of lubing switches and tuning stabilizers. Programming macros and perfecting my setup. Zoom TKL and Zoom Pad. Momoka Shark switches. #mechanicalkeyboardz

I’m really enjoying Notion for writing. I made a a template for character cards I can add to stories. It makes me see that all of my characters basically start with “chubby, intellectual, bisexual.” Except the bad guys. Then I add “tall and hot”

A sort of improv seafood chowder. Bacon, leeks, cod, bay scallops. Really way better than it should be, if that makes sense.

Other play on the Severance keyboard. I found an old K10 in the back of my closet. No ESC, no CTRL. Mix of MT3 Dasher and Dancer. #mechanicalkeyboards.

Maybe if I perfect my coffee set up, I won't be sad because of the state of the world.
