Finished The Art of Kpop Demon Hunters by Tracey Miller-Zarneke & Nucleus! Gorgeous illustrations, loved reading about the design inspirations. Say what you will about the movie (and trust me, you'd be valid): it's pretty, and so's this book.

Finished The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches by Matsuo Bashō, translated by Nobuyuki Yuasa. I have been semi-fixated on classical travel literature ever since I read Kim Tae Joon's Korean Travel Literature, so obviously I had to jump aboard the Bashō train.

I swore an oath I wouldn't spend a red cent to see Zootopia 2 but a number of my friends who are Parents Desperately Picking A Cartoon That Isn't Kpop Demon Hunters are asking me "Hey did the rabbit and fox get together" which is very funny. These are very offline people

Watched Wake Up Dead Man (2025). Why is Catholicism making a comeback nowadays? Am I crazy for thinking Catholicism is kinda coming back in a big way?

I spent like an hour watching tiktoks only to realize 1) wait my hands are under the covers. How am I doing this 2) Wait my phone is charging on the desk 3) I have hallucinated phantom hands showing me tiktoks for an hour
This year is nicer though because my partner is with me and also my aunt gave me a bottle of kool-aid containing about 300mg of THC. Gratitude always

My mom married into a very American household which rocks as far as financial stability goes but in exchange every year we have to pretend to give a fuck about Thanksgiving which is a huge downside.

We took the amtrak to my mom's place last night and I took an allergy pill that knocked me out for like, 12 hours. Woke up covered in dry drool, disoriented and unable to remember where I was and how I got there

Finished Laurie L. Patton's translation of The Bhagavad Gita. I can't really opine on its religious ideas, cultural impact, or even literary qualities, due to being an ignoramus

Had lunch at Russian Teatime and then went to the downtown Christkindlmarkt! Tea was great, they had a darjeeling-black currant house blend that tasted so good before I knew it I'd downed like, 4 glasses. Am also a perma-sucker for scones and clotted cream/jam.

Finished Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov, tr. David Magarshack. I began the novel hating Oblomov, then I reached a quiet understanding and sympathy with his struggles. Then I hated that motherfucker again and wanted to jump into the book and strangle him before he could die peacefully in his sleep.

Had a lovely time at the Field Museum!! My favorite museum, I used to go like, multiple times a month back in undergrad. Was excited to check out the African fashion exhibit! Was really cool, though I was sad the rest of that wing was closed for renovations.

Ran into my old old Mandarin teacher. Wanted to say, "好久不见," forgot the phrase entirely. Mouth already open, too late to back down, gotta speak, four character phrases where one is 不, one is 好.

Frozen, btw? Deeply, deeply incestuous at its core. Nightmarish. Freudian. Not even merely between the sisters. The observed and the observer. The movie and the audience itself. Hideous. Twisted. A fundamentally fascist film

I remember that brief period where EVERYBODYYYY on Tumblr was beefing HARD with Frozen. The movie. Like even before it came out people were like, "THIS SHOULDN'T EXIST."

Got annoyed at the dispensary because I'm in line and people were taking their time browsing and I was like "Omfg just sort from THC high to low and just select until you hit the legal maximum f-- oh my god I have a Problem"

I know a non-zero amount of right-wing gay people who are in straight, non-lavender marriages and are unhappy and every time I'm like. Hey sorry you're unhappy. I'm also not sure what you were expecting. Like yeah. That's what happens

We had too much deep dish pizza and now the entire day is a wash. We're done for today. Nothing left but to wait for tomorrow. Am I crazy for thinking our hotel wallpaper is crazy yonic

The CTA has seen many improvements, which is a net good for the city, but somehow makes me sad. Returning someplace and seeing it changed, even for the better, I think breeds a small level of melancholy.
Partner asked me why people are scared to take the CTA and I said, firmly, cowardice

Back in Chicago! Felt surprisingly emotional seeing the Lake. Partner did not have a panic attack on the flight. Minor celebrity who apparently played a dad on a Disney Channel show was on the flight with us but I didn't really grow up with that so I mostly focused on my book.
