I’m not surprised, the Catalogue of Ships is just really hard to digest

I think I have to insist on Psycho because I'd love to be in third grade again, sitting on the couch in the living room, and hear my father say, "Hey, want to watch a movie with me?"

Guided by voices’ 1996 LP under the bushes under the stars

Giving this one a belated 30th anniversary spin — haven’t listened in a while but 99% of it is still burned into my brain.

I love, in particular, the last stretch of songs on here: drag days, big boring wedding, etc. Just miraculously casual brilliance.

Our public library has a book sale a few times a year.

I've started buying things even if I don't necessarily want to read them, but because I have a feeling that if I ever do want to read them, I may never have a chance again.

Best dinosaur is Micropachycephalosaurus and its not even close. He's so small and cute.

My only contribution to the current discourse on Catholicism is rereading Gene Wolfe novels.

The sun setting over the Severn Estuary as seen from the top of Uley Bury hill fort. I took this photo in September, 2021, on the most perfect windless evening, feeling euphoric having finished the edits on my debut novel, Villager. The whole walk felt like I'd temporarily stepped inside a Kit Williams painting, which was apt since for the last several decades he has lived not far from here, and the landscape was a prime inspiration for his masterpiece Masquerade. I still associate this scene with Villager, which, although it's inspired by a more rugged landscape a couple of hours south west of here, it has some very Villager elements. If you are new to my writing and would like to read an excerpt from the book (one of the sillier, easier-to-read parts of it) you'll find one in the link. I promise it's not shit.

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.

And indeed.

the absurd 83-84 period when Robert Smith was making The Glove with Steve Severin, releasing The Top, AND playing with the Banshees on Hyaena is a ridiculous feast of this

What a wonderful song this is. Out-of-nowhere pop futurism. The beat is almost like Timbaland before Timbaland. Apparently it took them a year to make it because there was no roadmap for this

On this day, 1865: the last Confederate flag, a white dish towel.

Neil Young on his guitar style (is Neil a Dune head?)

He’s got to be a Tremors guy.

I have seen one good example of this plate

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

Pretty sure Jimi Hendrix made it above the line, though. And don't think the Who stayed above it.

This looks like the maps Faulkner drew of Yoknapatawpha County.

I guess they are both the same: The imagined landscapes of supreme artists.

One of my all time favorites!

This is amazing.

I have a copy of The Sound and the Fury that was my grandmother’s, though I don’t think it was written in (though there are other books I inherited which had some VERY wild marginalia).

Mom's copy of As I Lay Dying from college in 1968. She may as well have underlined the whole book. More of a Milton girl than a Faulkner girl. She still makes a face any time I mention WF.
