Previously I got ChatGPT to write a intro for this site but it seemed wrong to me. So I am going to leave it blank until something important comes to me ...
Because Nolan, I got interested in reading the source material. Then I wanted to read the Iliad. Then Aeneid was a thing. Then Ovid. Then Stephen Fry's intro to myths series. And now there is a Coursera class about Greek and Roman myths I have enrolled myself in. Anyway one of my favourite horror movies is getting adapted for screen. Can't wait. and then there is also Primetime, Robert Pattinson…
Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali My rating: 5 of 5 stars The book did not leave me crying but FUCK did my heart hurt. Massively. "I shall hide it all away, in a place no one will find. Everything, everything. But especially my soul." This is not a love story or a romance. It has love in it, sure. But it is not. View all my reviews
Another Monday has come and gone. Having a show to look forward to every Monday makes things better. I don't want any dragons to die.
had fun with books over the past few days. dusted off my Kobo (have been favouring the Kindle) and borrowed books off Libby from my local library. Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta - considered to be smut but wholesome and not dark. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weird - finally finished House Rules: A Memoir by Rachel Sontag - too close for comfort, about growing up in an abusive household…
I found myself looking forward to Mondays recently. Mainly because new House of the Dragon episodes are available for streaming after 9am. It might seem trivial, a television show about dragons. But it is not, as it seems to be the only thing worth looking forward to in the days that are before me. My spirit is restless, my mind stormy. My heart is uncertain as to the future that I will have in…
Part 4 now. Thought I would have hated an allegorical novel but pleasantly surprised. I grew fond of the Hamilton and the Trask families.
I am listening to the playlist of hopecore. Music from the 2010s. They all sound kinda hopeful, hence the name. 2010s were a good time. Things were going upwards instead of wars and all that trash. Hate. Recession and robots taking over humans. Can I be blamed for wanting to go back in time? Things were easier. So much. I don't know if things are going to be okay again. I feel like I am running…
Highlights recently: Watching Obsession + Backrooms Sushiro Off Campus - both the series and the books Heated Rivalry - tv show and books I've been hiding in books and stories. Talking to Grok and Claude like they are my job. #CurrentlyWatching Off Campus Also what the fuck the guys in this show all look like they can fuck and they are like in college. No guys in college can fuck. Not the ones…
Late last year, around Nov, I started to get into journalling and planning. It all started because J told me about Hobonichi launching a collab with Junji Ito's Tomie. And then I really got into the idea of not wanting my life to just float by. I just really want to look back on a year and be like yeah this is what I accomplished. This is where I fucked up and this is what I learnt. I feel like…
Slipping back into reading always feels weird at first. Like riding a bike after 10 years of not touching one. Once you get into it, though, it all comes back. For me, easing my way into a story (or a narrative, if it is non-fiction) is easy. The rest of the world fades away, the money worries, the job stressors. Everything. And now I am in this world. I am the office worker in Tokyo who really…
