I finished Leviathan Wakes today. Absolutely flew through it. I never noticed or cared the leaps of logic that Miller makes along the way that don't add up. Just a wild ride of a book.

I'm sure a part of the reason I dug into Station Eleven so hard was because it took place in Chicago. I had a long held dream, even through high school, to live in Chicago. We took annual trips there growing up. Also Mackenzie Davis was in one of my all time favorite shows, Halt & Catch Fire. Which I might be ready for a rewatch of.

I've been preoccupied with a section of twitter that is focused on gender, specifically issues of masculinity, and gender roles. I can't stop looking at it and I don't know why. I want to say that the men inhabiting these spaces are attention seeking and wrong in what they're doing, and that the way they're proclaiming some partial truths about Jesus and Christianity are harming the church.

But I don't know how to articulate this. My brain can't coalesce around a central idea to pick at. I need to find a way to slow it down and pick it apart to tease something out. It all seems to go along with a right wing political attitude that brings with it all of the weirdness you'd expect. And it's also very agrarian and rural and backward looking. It feels like a retreat to more a more black and white era.

Walking Sherman. I saw two houses next to each other both running their AC. Come on people.

Of course the tailor for Tarrey Town has to be from the lady village. What Gordon could possibly mend clothes, with those giant hands.

I want you to be amazed by me - but there's nothing amazing to see or hear or feel. It's a cluttered kitchen counter of a man.

Grocery store feels apocalyptic this morning. People remember the great blackout and freeze of 2021.

S11: the way the past is so real to us. The way we are present in the before and the now and the future all at once. And not present also. Withholding our presence to protect our fragile selves.

s11: When spring comes We're going to run out of food. Then whoever's left is going to want to fight each other. We have to get out of here. This can't last.

Watching Station Eleven. Loving everything about this show, right down to the fonts in the titles. The way it depicts the world spinning right off its axis while you try to make your morning toast or something banal like that.

How can Americans not look into their own hearts and immediately realize that racism in this country remains an ongoing concern? How can anyone claim to have clean hands?

As a tennis fan, I have never much liked N Djok - and his antics in recent years have only decreased his stature in my eyes. Something about his vengeful and emotional and swashbuckling style has always bugged me. But seriously, shame on him for his behavior. His legacy is permanently tarnished.

Feeling like I have a cold this morning. Or is it Covid? I don't think it's COVID-19, caused by the sars-cov2 virus. It's the common cold, caused by the sars-cov-v0.2 virus. Makes you feel a bit run down, then you bounce back like the champion that you are.

I like using heavy gauge guitar strings to discourage my fingers from doing silly things like bending notes.

Watched Don't Look Up for New Year's Eve. The movie had a bitter heart at its core, which I didn't appreciate. Even the shared meal around the table at the end felt in vain. While only the horrible ones live on at all. And humanity is doomed to repeat itself endlessly.

Our families are engaged in their local communities in ways that I am jealous of. Supporting local artisans. Involved in community groups. Buying from local distilleries and wineries and breweries and other manufacturers and coffee shops. I want to make this a priority for the future.

Fox had a few tears leaving Burlington today. That makes me happy and sad - sad we live so far away - happy that he values the time spent there with them.
