I’ve collected a lot of shadowboxes off Ebay over the past couple years. It fulfills my tiny furniture obsession. (No, I'm not talking about the Lena Dunham movie) I grew up with a dollhouse my great grandfather made and ended up turning it into sets for shorts and claymations with my twin Ellie. To narrow down the search and find just the right one on Ebay look up; “German Folk Art Shadowboxes”. You’ll find some bangers.

I’ve just been so fascinated by old decrepit dollhouses forgotten by time. I’ve been looking into and getting supplies to start building my own too.

I don’t care how old I get, I will always be obsessed with dollhouse miniatures. They’re also a very practical thing to collect if you live in a cramped New York City apartment. One of the few, cool places on the UES is this store that’s been around for thirty years, that sells things like mini cheese balls, boba, a lava lamp, and teeny tiny orange Crocs. Relatedly, I am also fond of those trick fake food sculptures that look like milk spilled that you can get online.

I’ve recently been watching Rule of Rose (remake) on youtube. It’s a masterfully twisted game and beautifully done. Something about watching gameplays has always soothed me. I would always fall asleep to Silent Hill 2 gameplays during the pandemic. You just have to turn down the boss fights when you’re finally trying to sleep; it can get a little abrasive. Stay away from gameplays with commentary please. You don’t need a random white guy's opinion on the creature design right now- just too goddamn annoying

This was my life in middle school. I would spend hours on the computer after school building sets, creating characters and writing scripts. It doesn’t hold up as well because I don’t want to torment my computer with all the custom content downloads… and now I’m jaded from making movies with real people (lol) I made a zombie series called Propagation on Sims. I made an epic short about teenage pregnancy to a Sigur Ros song. I made one about a teacher student affair to the song Nude by Radiohead. I was full of so much confusion and emotions… making movies on Sims 2 was my release. Check out Lodelday on youtube. She was my inspiration. Her movies informed my taste in a way. Long live Sims 2. Forever love. Here is Frances Nowak; a character I made for a failed short about a widowed woman finding her life again to the Umbrellas of Cherbourg theme song. The dramaaaa.

This beautifully harrowing album from experimental ambient trio from Gothenburg has easily made it onto one of my favorite albums list of the past couple years. First time I listened to the track “Stanna Hos Mig” I felt like I was listening back at a fuzzy and distorted memory. The delay on the strings and the vocals are ghostly and sublime; creating a sort of distance from the listener. This album shapeshifts and folds into whatever domineering headspace you’re in at the time. I would love to sample their work sometime. This is the kind of music I wish I was making.
