Oh my god, I am so bored. Total restructuring of all New Year's resolutions incoming

There are so many days (like today) where the weight and the sorrow of world news makes every little way i am trying to improve my own life feel so insignificant. How many of our days have been lost like this?

Welp I am seeing why people liked HEATED RIVALRY...

Oh, THE CHAIR COMPANY... Had such a blast... not sure about that ending.

Man, MARTY SUPREME had a lot of the same energy as UNCUT GEMS, and I am not sure whether that's a good or bad thing...

Going to try to post every day of 2026. Can I get better at being online? Time will tell!

I watched the original Godzilla today and was surprised at how human it is, and how many moral issues it deftly grapples with.

Welp, gonna post about what I'm watching and reading now that my brain is feeling like concentrating on things. Would love comments if you have seen or read these! Okay:

If you would have told me two years ago that I would go from watching zero football to being the type of person who watches on Sunday from 9:30 to midnight... but here I am!

I have TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME on the TV as I grade papers, and I wonder how many times I am going to watch through all of Lynch's stuff before I die. Easily over 100 if I live a normal lifespan.

Oh my gosh, everybody outside is extremely good looking this spring

Welp, I am down to this as my final social media account. One last attempt to find a writing community in the event that I ever manage to write again in this current nihilistic fog.

Had a wonderful time getting lost in WHAT STALKS AMONG US by @sarahhollowell.bsky.social. Fun yet complex. Weird while very human. And a Primer reference!

I cannot get through ten minutes of grading without encountering AI-generated corporate speak now. I can't read a single thing without wondering whether I am engaging with a person's actual thoughts, or something they hastily copied. It gives a new ironic meaning to the word humanities.

I would not be myself without David Lynch. For an artist to have that kind of impact on a person is just crazy. So thankful to have experienced his work, and so unmoored.

Trying to figure out BlueSky, as a lot of my current "Discover" feed is just people talking about how much they love coffee...

Oh it is that time of year already when I have to put a sock over my phone before I go running 😞
