At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I tag on what books I may have finished reading. Knowing I’ll revisit my social media posts, I’ve found, serves as a positive and mellowing influence on my online activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.
Another light week. Been busy.
▰ Slightly distracted during the How to Rob a Bank trailer because I became convinced that the Zoë Kravitz character’s apartment is the same one a different Kravitz character lived in in the Soderbergh movie Kimi. (Different windows, as it turns out.)
▰ The great Michael Jang has my aesthetic number. Which is to say, that’s not my actual number up there, but this fine slice of Clement Street made my week.
▰ I don’t think I’ve had freshly ground matcha before. Very tasty, and the green is hyperreal. Welcome to the neighborhood, Constance Tea.
▰ I’d like the e-ink Boox Go 7 to get popular enough that someone makes a slim keyboard case for it. I upgraded to it from my Kindle Paperwhite. The tablet/reader hybrid works well with Obsidian, and since the last page you look at remains (in most cases, though not all) as the sleep screen, the device has quickly become (as had been my test-case intent/hope) a small project white board (slash to-do list).
▰ I finished reading two manga tankobon (aka paperbacks) this week: Mohiro Kitoh’s Bokurano Ours volume one (2003), which I read some of in the past but never finished, and Time Killers (2000), the standalone collection of one-shots (aka short stories) by Kato Kazue (she’s best known for the long-running, and ongoing, Blue Exorcist).
