paying tribute this evening by watching Jurassic Park, a movie I saw in theaters at too young an age, leading to two decades of recurring nightmares ft the T-Rex
the unique anxiety that comes from sneaking into your child’s bedroom at night to place tooth fairy money under their pillow
holy moly I’m so glad they’re making this into a movie. My favorite read of 2026.

currently reading The Ferryman and His Wife and liking it very much. it’s not too late for a career change, is it? I could be a ferrywoman. There’s nothing to it.
Democrats really send me emails with the most desperate and poetic subject lines. Just received an email titled “I am a prisoner of hope”
“We carry the dead with us only until we die too, and then it is we who are borne along for a little while, and then our bearers in their turn drop, and so on into the unimaginable generations.” - from John Banville’s The Sea, which I’m enjoying this week
the track “sense(is)” by hemlocke springs is so incredibly good and boppy and catchyyyyy. how is she not massively famous yet?

Are there any happy novels that are also well written? I’ve bit on a depressing fiction tear. Currently reading Shuggie Bain, but the last several books were also heavy.
You know when a book is so good you’re sad when it ends? I feel that way about Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead. Just finished. I don’t think I’ve ever loved or related to a main character so much.
currently reading Julien Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending. One of my reading goals for this year is to read more Booker Prize winners
We moved the rest of our books out of the storage unit today. I’d forgotten we had most of these. Now we need to find a place to put them all!
I started cataloging our books on GoodReads (which is super easy to do with the scanning feature) and am astonished at the titles we have that I wasn’t aware of or somehow forgot about. All of Henry James! Dostoyevsky short stories! a tiny Maritain tract! 576 cataloged so far and ~1.5 bookcases left
I love this ex libris, from a used book I bought several years ago.

I’m reading Baldwin’s Go Tell It On The Mountain for the first time and can hardly put it down. I’m about 70 pages in, where Florence decides to move to NY.
