Tomorrow’s my last day at my job in DC. Next week I’ll be back in the desert with the mountains and acequias and big beautiful sky. I want to write something about how it was being in DC, the summer of America’s obnoxious, 250th birthday. I will eventually. But for now, I just can’t wait to be home.

Read Sebald’s The Emigrants and Austerlitz this summer. Kind of want to read the other two. But they feel like such perfect books for the summer. On the other hand, fall might be the right time to finish reading Jon Fosse.

As a 43 year old who never learned how to drive my primary concern is how much a monster ultra is at the gas station

Knowing I can make up little stories of little fake people and write them down and share them with friends to read increasingly feels like a refuge in the madness of the late 2020s, and like one of the only things that still makes sense

One thing I will miss about Virginia is it will be harder to aura farm while listening to noise rock on my commute, due to the lack of public transportation

I ordered a large pizza for dinner and the delivery guy said 'enjoy the party,' so I had to yell 'food's here guys' into my completely empty hallway.

Everybody please go see Coyote Vs Acme, a movie that fought to exist and has hand drawn animation as well as beautiful views of my hometown, Albuquerque, portrayed finally as something colorful and not just where breaking bad takes place. It’s a wonderful movie.

Some of you are reading too many books. It’s concerning. Watch a horrible sitcom or an animated film, for once. Please!

It’s crazy when you see a guy walking holding his baby and that baby looks just like him. Cuz then what you’ve got is a guy and also a baby guy.

Every Friday on the east coast they force you to walk to the closest pizza joint after work and order two slices and a coke. Mandated. You guys gotta get me outta here!

The way tastes change over time is cool. I had to read To the Lighthouse when I was in undergrad and didn’t even finish it. I didn’t like it and didn’t understand it. Now I’m reading it again 10 years later and think it rules, is brilliant, and I don’t care at all about understanding it

Sebald is so weirdly addictive to read. Opened a page of his novel Vertigo just to see if I’d like it and here we are, once again headed off into the world of his strange anecdotes and imagined histories

A ★★★★ review of The Odyssey (2026)
The Odyssey, despite being one of the great works of world literature, is not a story I’ve ever liked or been particularly drawn to. Mostly when I think of the Odyssey, I feel tired. Imagining Odysseu...

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.
