1. asleep by 9:15, wake up at 4, mentally review damage taken (doh) and given (oops) yesterday, pad down to the kitchen at 5, turn the lights on as dim as they go, make coffee, start to read scrollback and accruing damage for the day

    get annoyed by the ambient noise the fridge is making, use a smart-switch to power off the fridge, replace it with ambient noise somebody else made, cozy up by the speaker https://schwebung.bandcamp.com/album/radiance

  3. 17th book of the year: “The Palm-Wine Drinkard” and “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” by Amos Tutuola ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/303496.The_Palm_Wine_Drinkard_My_Life_in_the_Bush_of_Ghosts)

    The Palm-Wine Drinkard & My Life in the Bush of GhostsWhen Amos Tutuola's first novel, The Palm-Wine Drinkard…Goodreads

    The story I enjoyed in Black Water 2 was an excerpt from “The Palm-Wine Drinkard” (which is subtitled “and his dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Deads’ Town)

    I preferred the drinkard because more of the stories in it seem like little self-contained myths. And of course I’m glad to now have a connection back to the Byrne/Eno album that I love.

    current paperback cover of the plam-wine drinkard, and my life in the bush of hosts, flat orange on the top half and a green leaf motif on the bottom half with black text over both and abstract-ish opposing-half paper collage of what looks like an someone’s exquisite-corpse project (you can kinda make out a head on the top half and if that’s a head, maybe a body on the bottom half?)

  4. fake-warning “a man recommending a podcast"
