Tbh I’m coming out of a pretty depressing month, working a lot cuz im gonna be living alone for a bit—roomate who was the worst is finally leaving
This is what kept me sane while working doubles and watching the world pass:
Where I end and You Begin - Radiohead
(miserable, love the part about watching but not taking part, the effects of burnout let alone its haunting promise of nature eventually taking its land back)
21 - Cranberries
(I’m 21, learning that there will be lots I won’t get at least soon and that okay and I live in the context of all that which came before me)
Biscuit Town, Dumsurfer, It’s All Soup Now, Seaforth - King Krule
(He’s hot, miserable stuff, very hopeless but its the company that makes it easier)
The Flag is Raised - Bladee, Ecco2k
(Mf drain gang, very cerebral, spunky)
The Most Wanted Person - 100 gecs
(Huge gecs fan they are always on rotation for me, currently over here checking all the windows and blinds)
Persephone - Cocteau Twins
(been listening to them a lot recently, love the witchy vengeful sound of it)
One of These Days - Bedouine
(love her, its the little bit of hope we have to cling to right?)

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk
- lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
