Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Punchline, a custom Killing Joke album I made for a friend five years ago. Kind of a best of album. I also listened to Brian Eno and Harold Budd’s The Pearl. 🎵
So NATOWave is a thing.
I’ve so many great memories of finding so many great books at the Booksmith. 💬 Marshall Smith, Brookline Booksmith Cofounder, Dies at 90 https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/Obituary/article/89265-marshall-smith-brookline-booksmith-cofounder-dies-at-90.html

Listening to Andrew Tasselmyer’s mix for this weekend’s Soundwave. It’s really enhancing my morning.
I just spent the last five minutes imagining an industrial metal band called Megastructure that is a synthesis of Godflesh’s Streetcleaner LP, Pitchshifter’s Industrial LP, Treponem Pal’s Aggravation LP, and Pailhead’s Trait LP.
I grew up with TOS, TNG, & DS9. It wasn’t until STVOY I encountered a Trek that wasn’t for me. But it was Trek for a lot of people. Enterprise & STD wasn’t for me, either. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds doesn’t have to be for me. I’m just glad Star Trek continues to exist.
Watched the first episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I didn’t hate it. But I’m Trek’s target demo. It’s hard for me to hate Trek. But I didn’t move it, either. I was entertained enough and will, of course, what more episodes to see if it grows on me.
I don’t know how far I’m going to get, but I’m jotting down notes that borrow from Bruce Sterling’s Shaper/Mechanist stories, Greg Egan’s Diaspora novel, and elements from Iain M. Banks’s Culture novels. Leaning towards Traveller or FATE to run the game.
Moon Knight is the only Marvel television series where I watch each episode twice. I’m not even a Moon Knight fan, it’s that good. And it’s brilliant that Marc Spector to a supporting character. I think it would be boring if super competent Spector was always Moon Knight.
Months ago, someone of MB despaired at all the articles they’d saved to Pocket but would never read. I knew exactly what they were talking about. I ruthlessly deleted all articles I knew aid never read and slowly read what remained. As of today, I read my last saved article.
Tonight I’m taking kiddo to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The movie clicks in at 2 hours. Really? There’s not a single frame that couldn’t be cut to get the movie down to 90 minutes?
Love working from my kitchen table. Unfortunately I get a lot of sun and I live in an older house without air conditioning. Today’s high was 87°, and I think that’s about the threshold of what’s comfortable. Come summer I’ll need to work from my office, which is dark and cooler.
