My goal was to make a simple episode about vaporwave and mannequins. But thankfully my plans usually go awry and follow their own screwy logic. www.jamesreeves.co/55 Featuring moody hits from M83, Lusine, James Murray, John Maus, Fohn, 2814, Burial, and a dead-eyed cover of California Dreamin’.

Last night our Middle Western Book Club completed our mission into @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social’s Southern Reach series. Thankfully, we had lots of cookies and ice cream onhand to fortify our discussion about the futility of clinging to the status quo in a time of flux. Acceptance is the answer.

An exercise in accretion: each time C. and I go running in the park, we collect a stone for our balcony. Hopefully we’ll have a zen garden by the end of the year.

There would be another thirty years of monsters. We would be stuck in their muck while they battled and it would be painful. But we could fast-forward if we chose. You could pay to see what you'd be like in the future so you could decide if you wanted to fast-forward. She wanted to do it. I didn’t.

Last night’s dream brought me to the ruins of a university where we played chess with pieces of tandoori meat. “You cannot withdraw from this game without suicide,” said my veiled opponent.

I dreamt about a regal woman, impossibly tall, who glided above the floor with her back arched like a vacuum. I nodded hello, and she said, “You’re welcome.” No matter what I said, she replied, “You’re welcome.” Then she zoomed away, leaving me alone in a long empty room.

I dreamt about a gigantic man who knelt down to tell me he was raised by a mountain. He said I did not understand how to live. When I asked if I could bum a cigarette, he tossed me into the sea, where I swam in the dark until I was rescued by an inflatable child who cried like a ticking clock.
