Only today do I realize the irony of Joyce's birthday being on Groundhog's Day.

Happy birthday, James Joyce, my (unfortunate) muse.

At the start of reading Freud: Skepticism

By the end: analyzing every memory ever

I wonder if the cat doesn't so much as care about birds as he likes the nap afterwards. Like, "This is my one accomplishment today: scaring off birds."

In which case, he's a lot like me.

I think culture rotates through periods of "smart" and "dumb" and we're heading into a "dumb" period and I'm very happy with that.

However, if Katseye is the omen for this period, I will leave reality.

It's a bit distressing to see Hobbes' ideas put in practice in real time.

There is a world in which Cupid's Head is my album of 2013

HMMMMM

I know Hip to Be Square is supposed to be ironic but it's such a banger of a song

I really want this to be the year of Brian Eno's ambient discog.

I think literally a decade ago was when I tore through his lyrical albums (even My Squelchy Life).

Anyway, less dour thoughts, finished Leviathan last night; 10/10; taught me an uncomfortable amount on politics; the long criticism of the Catholic Church was an unexpected but interesting surprise.

Hey remember when the Athenians invaded Syracuse

and they were like Woahhhh guys we're gonna get so rich

wonder what happened to those guys
January 4, 2026 at 3:11 PM
Man it's even hard to explain the invasion with realpolitik, I just get "I want a new country" vibes

Ok now my brain is firing on this subject.

In the study of literary history you get lots of Rats and Snakes (Chinese Zodiac shi). But not many Horses.

I might have to do some investigating.

It would also be fun to go through Martin Scorsese's "religious" movies - Kundun, Silence, Last Temptation, blah.

But it's weird: I get fidgety with movies, though I can sit with a book.

Well, everyone has their inclinations.

Given the madness of the world it wouldn't hurt to pick up a Celine book... Hmm.

It's funny how low my expectations were for my Year of the Snake picks - Crime and Punishment (Dostoesvsky), Bouvard and Pecuchet (Flaubert) - and then how overwhelmed I was by both of them.
January 3, 2026 at 3:49 PM
I don't have many Horse authors for the Year of the Horse - John Barth, J. G. Ballard, Iceberg Slim, that's about it - so if anyone know anyone, holler.
