"Find another corner of the house..." (09/08/2026)

...one of my family members came down sick recently so I've been very vigilant re: hygiene. I hate being sick. More specifically I hate when I can't think straight. Sickness always does that to me. Plus usually I can't sleep well either. I remember the last time I was sick, I would just lie in bed and gradually drift in and out of consciousness until it was like 10:00 AM. Shit fucking sucked.

...university got me busy as usual so I've barely had time to do things I enjoy. Like writing. I haven't done much writing as of late, aside from these blog posts here. One thing I like about keeping a blog is that it keeps my literary mind sharp. I'm always writing and therefore I'm always reading. Not gonna let all of the knowledge I've gained over the years stagnate, y'know?

...speaking of writing I wrote something for a press kit today. It's not mine, just so you know. No, it's for a friend's. I forget exactly why he needed it, but let it be known that he came to me first instead of AI-generating it. That should tell you how good I am with words (not to brag, or anything). 

...listening now: "Old Ramon" by Red House Painters. I think this is probably my favorite Kozelek effort. It's a refinement of everything he had done with RHP in the past, more mature than the despondent Down Colorful Hill or Rollercoaster yet a lot more involved than Songs for a Blue Guitar. A powerful collection of songs: "River" is a favorite, even though he's singing about his cat I always figured that the lyrics were about a strained relationship. I just wish Mark Kozelek wasn't a piece of shit.
