  3. ninth book of 2024 (is counting like this annoying? idk, it’s all one mutable thread, so, whatever): “Get in Trouble", by Kelly Link ( https://kellylink.net/books/get-in-trouble).

    More great stories, some of which, but fewer than those in “Stranger Things Happen” would fit right in with those collected in “Black Water” ( https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110403938932091902) and “Black Water 2” ( https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110899731695137550).

    the trade paperback cover of “Get in Trouble”, by Kelly Link, as I read it.An painted illustration of a small farm house in a clearing in a wood; a woman in a red shirt and jeans approaches the house up the front walk while two foxes approach from the left in front of a healthy fruit tree, the dead and leafless mirror of which is on the right. The entire illustration is upside down and the title, painted in call capital white handwriting over the sky is surrounded by and set on by black birds.

  4. eighth book of 2024: “Stranger Things Happen", by Kelly Link ( https://kellylink.net/books/stranger-things-happen-old).

    So good, I’m grabbing another collection of Link’s, "Get in Trouble”, immediately.

    the paperback cover of “stranger things happen”, by Kelly Link, as I read it. A mid-century lookin’ color illustration of a blonde woman in a blue blouse, tan skirt, and black heels carries a flashlight through a dark wood.

  5. seventh book of 2024: “Titanium Noir", by Nick Harkaway ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62052321-titanium-noir). What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.

    cover of “Titanium Noir”, by Nick Harkaway, as I read it, hardback (which is black). Black block stencil TITANIUM along the top over a black stencil fedora containing a shiny metallic head, dripping onto more black stencil NOIR over a brilliant green field. The authors name and other blurb elements including a quote from William Gibson are in a monospace console font.

  6. this coat is reversible and I’ve been liking it both right-side-out and inside-out so the collar is permanently in cooler-than-me casual rebellion

    iphone selfie of me in our wall length mirror by the front door in a pink and blue flannel lined jacket over a sneppy t-shirt (fake snoopy), jeans, pride rainbow / white hi-top vans, in front of a joan cornella booty-poop print on the wall. there’s a huge red wall calendar for march taped to the door and an eames color-ball coat rack full of coats and masks next to me

  7. I love views of downtown as I enter the city afar, and from hilltops and rooftops in the neighborhoods. But I always also imagine the following dialog with myself:

    "Wow, hard to believe people built all that over there”

    "Yeah, pretty neat! Do you want to go there? Maybe into one of those cool buildings?”

    “Nope.”

    “Do the people who live there like it?

    "Nobody lives there.”

    “OK, but at least the buildings are used to good stuff? Right?"

    “No, not really.”

  8. laying in bed “watching tv” on my laptop, but about to close it and go to sleep. it is 8:50PM.

    Screen grab of Antiques Roadshow in Plex. A guest on the right in a yellow polo shirt and a tan derby hat is talking with his hands about how he acquired the antique he has brought for appraisal. The roadshow staff, in a vertical stripe polo shirt listens attentively. Between them, propped on a table, is three drawings mounted on a blue felt board. top center: the color pen and watercolor on paper of the original sofa background from the first season of Beavis and Butthead. Below left, a pen and paper drawing of Butthead. Below right, a pen and paper drawing of Beavis.The appraiser estimates the sofa to be $1,000, auction price, and the two drawings that are not colored to be $1,000 together, or $500 a piece.

  9. 🏁 what I’m considering Mission Dolores, Castro, and Eureka Valley, bound by Market, Valencia, and 20th.

    Glen Park next for real this time, I think. Or Potrero Hill. Maybe both.

    A San Francisco street map centering the area bound by 101, 280, and Market, on which every street has a meandering purple GPS path I’ve logged on it, generally completing (in order I walked it) Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, the Inner Mission, Mission Dolores, the Castro, and Eureka Valley. (I think of the Castro north of market as Corona Heights or Duboce Triangle).Along the way this time I filled in lots of alleys I had skipped in Noe Valley because walking on Valencia is getting pretty tedious (and I’ve lived on or a block off of it for 14 years).
