My May mix is up. Sometimes the world is so ugly you have to wind up a mix with a Jennifer Warnes hit followed by a Joe Cocker / Jennifer Warnes megahit, sit back, and swoon. jimkourlas.com/2025/06/06/m...

I spent a few days in a tent in Wisconsin receding from life and words, at least my own words. Did a little reading, brought my dumbbells for a couple workouts in the woods, napped, laughed with so…

Dreamt I invented a recipe for depressed people reluctant to eat: raw eggs and maybe ham squished together by hand into a slice of cheap white bread. I called it the hairball. The gal in the commercial was eating it in bed. She was wearing a turtleneck.

New (really smart, super fun) interview with @jimkourlas.bsky.social coming on Short Story, Long tomorrow! ashortstorylong.substack.com/p/high-slope...
The men are seated in Conference Room 3B, where we dim the lights and project onto a massive screen clips from the 1984 martial arts drama The Karate Kid. The wax-on, wax-off scenes of The Karate Kid bathe the men in nostalgia—a far cry from memory, but a start. It also suggests a non-traditional curriculum is afoot and allows them to project themselves as heroes in the drama we are about to unfold. Some identify with Daniel LaRusso while others Johnny Lawrence. It doesn’t matter which, for all of the men are competitors eager to consume their colleagues, even the shy man. One might even say especially the shy man. By the end of the weekend there will be several instances of cannibalism. There always is.

Watching the Omaha nightly newscast for the first time in forever and the newscaster is wearing braces and it’s awesome. The weatherman’s suit does not fit.

I wrote a little something about Mark Eitzel / AMC in prep for his US living room tour this fall. Hoping people go out to see him while they still can as he doesn't tour a ton. The Omaha show is Thurs 10/12 at Zipline! jimkourlas.com/2023/09/27/m...

This site or whatever feels like a housing development in the middle of cornfields and for the first time I understand that urge to speculate
