Time to make the annual Adirondack salmon pilgrimage

My spey cast is getting better

I'd like to believe he's been working on a final doorstop we have yet to see and Inherent Vice / Bleeding Edge/ Shadow Ticket are more fun to him

And maybe that's just it - maybe he's just having fun while winding down his days

But that fourth of the Big Four he set out to write - hmmm

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 1d

Pynchon's Big 4 - have they been published? He's said he has "four big books" he wanted to do

I always ask myself what they are - obviously there's Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day

What's the fourth? V? Not convinced. Almost certainly not Vineland. Not IV, BE, or ST.

Good to know!

I didn’t see it in vista vision, is it really that hot?

Not really a nerd about image quality but folks made it seem like it was the only way to watch it

MFA writing: the JK Rowling of literature

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 2d

With Krasznahorkai winning the Nobel we have to consider one searing question: what if so-called “brodernist” fiction is, in fact, good, and MFA slop is bad no matter how well marketing schools disguised as writing clinics push it

America’s poet

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 2d

Incredibly pleased to see Krasznahorkai win the Nobel but a very off-brand pick for the committee as after Bob Dylan I would have assumed Taylor Swift was a shoo-in

Man I love Fosse. Sounds like this is the first of three so more on the way?

I need to finish reading his plays

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 4d

Saw One Battle After Another 10/10 no notes

One thing that I thought was great in particular was how they sent in “Van Halen” to throw a Molotov as excuse to violently break up a peaceful protest

Seems timely

Can’t believe he made this BEFORE this year… what insane timing for the messages

Hell yeah

Happy Pynchon and black garlic ramen day to those who celebrate

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 5d

Rule 34 never fails

Swans tonight was hands down no contest not even close the best I’ve ever seen them live

If you’re in NYC and are able to, go see them tomorrow

What a way to end their run with a bang

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 5d

Saw people posting about the peck of Pynchon so I popped in to make a purchase. Ponder my pain to realize it’s not purchasable pending tomorrow.

But I was pleased to peer ‘pon this, which I didn’t know about

I don’t think goldfish are good to house with barbs

Probably a smaller tank for me but excuse to get those googlyeyed tumorfish I like

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 9d

I’m going to end up with a second tank aren’t I 😭

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 9d

I think this may actually be a kind of goldfish

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 9d

A few of these fish hitch hiked as fry with our aquatic plants and I have no idea if they’re going to eat my others

I don’t think this is a guppy bit that’s the most common hitch hiker…

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 10d

I PASSED

Ok now to get a real motorcycle

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 10d

Awesome, I’ll check it out

I mostly can‘t hang with new anime but for one brief period it was glorious

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 10d

Going to go do a motorcycle road test today…. With my Vespa.

Cop about to laugh my ass out the door

I’m also missing the windshield from my helmet because I wear sunglasses so he might boot me for that :/

popoulis @roden.bsky.social · 10d

What’s this one?

I don’t really do the quote thing but I’ll say it was GITS or Akira (it was Sailor Moon because it was on US TV)

At least they have subscription revenue from companies that already laid off all their employees lol
