And so did I!

I’m not talking to you for a while. That is factually incorrect

I really love that movie though 😣

I’m so tired of cancer taking my friends. News of one doing poorly last week, news of another having passed over the weekend. I’m just over it

Happy birthday, Kathy Acker, a great writer and a lovely person. We saw a press screening of Cronenberg's Crash and Fire Walk With Me on opening night. In both cases, we were the only ones smiling at the end, laughing at the waves of movie hate all around us. Love you, Kathy.

THE ALT TEXT, PEOPLE

John Darnielle, a middle-aged man with perfect hair, and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, one of the greatest living movie critics. They are embracing in shared love of sleaze and schlock.

I got to meet @horrornonna.com so nobody can tell me nothin. Perfect night

Ladders being hastily assembled to board a small boat

Masked attackers jumping off of bending ladders and getting cut down by Lone Wolf

Ladders being cut in half while the guys on the ladders fall into the sea

There's a section of Lone Wolf & Cub where guys with ladders keep attacking Ogami and Daigoro on a row boat and this is what comics are all about.

Crime writers, what is stopping the cover of your next book from looking like this?

Got this great plan to murder an absolute scumbag. I’m even gonna do it on the world famous Orient Express. Every detail is perfect. Nothing could go wrong.

Just before the train left this funny little Belgian man with a moustache got on, but that’s probably nothing to worry about.

So I killed this lady, right? But I’m so safe. Covered all my tracks.
The cops don’t know what they’re doing and the only other person around is this weird lady senior citizen who insists she’s some kind of “mystery writer.”
I’m golden!

This one time? I murdered a guy who was blackmailing me and I made the plan really complicated but it was worth it because it was the perfect murder.

Anyway, I think I am in the clear. The homicide detective is this unkempt Italian guy, real bumbler.

Cheap cigar.

I’m home free, I know it.

The image is a book cover featuring an artwork in a halftone style. The background is a textured blue with the title "CROSSROADS" in large, bold white letters at the top, with a small orange "X" below it. Below the title, in smaller white letters, it says "FOLK HORROR IN THE UNITED STATES." The central image depicts a serious figure in halftone, with shades of orange and black, against the blue background. The left edge of the cover has a vertical orange band with white text

I forgot to say earlier that this morning, I finished reading this, and it’s GREAT. Congrats to @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and @theharvestmaid.bsky.social. I took my time, because I knew if I liked it I was going to want to dive into more, and that’s what happened.

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast

(Either pairing, tbh)

Because they clearly recognize these guys.
And that guy was definitely an actual actor in old movies.
I want to cry right now.
The world is so wild and weird on top.

Then one of them introduces the other one to me as a big action star from a long time ago. BUT HE DOESN’T TELL ME HIS NAME 🤬I show them my tattoos of 김기영 and 김수용 and they are floored in their drunkenness and start saying “thank you! Thank you!” (2/3)

In the “it could only happen to Ariel” kinda way, I am at my local, finishing some work and these muuuuuch older Korean men come up to me as they are leaving. They are tipsy. They want to know where I’m from. (1/3)

Pleased to announce that I have lost practically (39.02 is close enough) 40lbs on my Mounjaro. I just went up a dose and it made a definite difference. Hoping that it continues to do so!!!! Then I can get a friend to take some new pix of me 🥰

Great theater double-feature of CRIME 101 and PARIS, TEXAS today with @davidallenkr.bsky.social. Think I may try to do early bedtime tonight…

Ggachi Newsletter| Exploring Traces of Colonial Korean Labour in Japan (1) + Gana Art's 1991 Issue on Modern Middle Eastern Art.

Ggachi is back as a bilingual Korean-English weekly newsletter.

Next book for my book club is The Talented Mr. Ripley. I haven't been mesmerized by a book like this in so long. I feel like I read bits of it ages ago but *definitely* before I went to Italy and 100% before I lived in another country. Highsmith was an absolute genius.

She is genuinely one of the best to ever do it as far as books in this vein go, and you should buy some

Somebody write about Watertown so I don’t have to

The positive part of this whole “quitting my Korean class” thing is that today I finally got to the Dr for my scheme of blood tests, EKG & meds refill. Results on Thursday but so far? Normal EKG.
