Dreamt last night that I was in the movie The Shining, and was terrified running around the hotel. But then I remembered The Shining was a novel written by Stephen king and a film directed by Stanley Kubrick, so I just left and was fine

Hate having to get up earlier for work. I’m texting my boys about basketball at 6am. What kind of life is this

Bugonia is one of the bleakest films I’ve ever seen, and one of the best acted.

Moose/Elk in the Snow, John Bauer, 1912.

This year I’m going to try to read and write stories, make more room in my life for art, eat pho, see the ocean again, go for long walks, take some trips with my friends and explore the east coast.

Staying up until midnight only so I can start the new year by reading 1001 nights volume 1

The last sunset of 2025

Here is a new short story called, Natural Selectors. In it, a man looks back at his parent's generation and recounts the atrocities of the gang they had in their youth. nicetrybudsmith.substack.com/p/natural-se...

I remain convinced most of my problems can be fixed by the right notebook

Winter, Tove Jansson for #BookWormSat

Reading mythology, short stories & Shakespeare and listening to the Beatles. Getting back to all the good things that brought me joy as a younger person, and it feels great.

I like some Cormac books just fine— and lots of people I love, LOVE him — but I’m so bored by the “your art should drive you to suicide” romanticization. I want short stories, and novels, and art, that drove the artist to joyful exaltation.

Did pretty good with these

Feeling obsessed with stories lately. Storytelling history, how to tell a good story, what makes a good story, all of that good stuff

Going to try to learn to cook for myself in 2026. I’ve always made food for my partner and I, but I want to learn to really cook something.

Reading Hellboy comics for Christmas Eve

I’m collecting your weird replies for my scrapbook

Bout that time

I told everyone Anthony Joshua would knock out Jake Paul and everyone who doubted me is texting me this morning to say I am right

It’s great to have friends who know a lot about art and music and can give you recommendations. It’s even better to actually listen to those recommendations. Act like you’re taking a great college course and do the homework. It’s so rewarding.

Oh wow, absolute power corrupted you absolutely? That’s so weird, I got absolute power last year and my subjects say I’ve only gotten wiser and more virtuous

Life was better when I was waking up early every day to read Schattenfroh

Nowhere is more wonderful than the Cheesecake Factory. It is a marvelous maze of beautiful bulbs of light and sugar

They’re talking about quarter zips on npr.

Warriors down bad. Lions down bad. My year as a Midwest sports fan living on the west coast is not going as I had hoped! Sad!

Going to buy a copy of a Willa Cather novel so I can mail it to a stranger as part of a holiday book exchange I signed up for

Humans should hibernate. Sign my petition to make humans hibernate 11 months of the year. Possibly 12.

Fun fact your local library might have criterion collection DVDs and blu rays you can rent which include wonderful special features and you can immerse yourself in the joy of film for zero dollars and zero cents

It’s very important to not only watch absurd action movies but to also watch the documentary on the blu ray about how they made the movie

When will they right this wrong and put John Wick in the criterion collection

I hate my favorite football team the Detroit lions

Fell asleep watching planes, trains & automobiles and woke up to see a different film playing on the tv which appeared to be a sequel to planes, trains & automobiles in which John Candy and a woman in a hat talk on the phone a lot

To soothe myself during this time of year, I am listening to an audiobook about various horrible things which occurred during history

"Real fans of poetry deserve such monuments – in this case, the work of a lengthy lifetime: decades of wondering and pondering, deadpan ironizing and making meaning in America, just the kind of work that must never have felt like work at all." ocreviewofbooks.org/2025/11/25/r...

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
