Sounds, a playlist for reading and sleeping

PINNED

This is bookended with Max Richter's Sleep, which is musical, the rest in-between are just sounds of nature and appliances and stuff that can block out unwanted sounds which you cannot control, hence provided some alleviation. After the 2nd... See More »

Brother recommended this book to me so I got it

Looks like something that could help in the understanding realm, a year old work though, times have changed a lot by the day.

Reading Bob Woodward's Fear while listening to Steve Roach's Core, while sipping da coffee from an old trusty mug

I'm hitting my stride I think, my walk to the bank the other day was great, every other walk to the bank left me absolutely exhausted, but not this time. There will be a longer walk coming soon to see my doc, and so with each outing my strength and... See More »

Re-thinking eating McDonalds with the help of videos like this

The Housemaid (1960) dir. Kim Ki-young 1080p - English subtitles (하녀 - 김기영)

I used to have this in my collection, an inspiration for the director of Parasite, it's a tense and refreshing thriller from a place the western viewer doesn't see much like this from this time period. I'm going to love this rewatch.

The best thing that ever came about from watching a Rob Zombie movie was hearing this timeless 70s classic

Using a service called Instacart, looks like I'll be getting my stuff tonight!!

Fast, and better prices than the now defunct service, things turn out better sometimes!!

My grocery delivery service stopped altogether on this day also

This will mean that if there's no delivery thing for the other main grocery store in this area that many more walks will be needed to keep the water replenished, I can't be carrying those big cases of bottles around, my arms and shoulders are that of... See More »

The last little while in a little galaxy not too far away

I refrained yesterday from talking about my experience of being brought to visit dad, but now I shall say a few things. It's an hour drive to where he is, he is doing ok there, has a few people he talks with and does puzzles with, but he's in his... See More »

A perfect pop song from Billy Joel

I'm putting together a long songs playlist, but I shall just share certain goodies, it sounds as good as ever, many like this I haven't listened to in a long time, and yet a distant part of the past is triggered in a heavenly scented nostalgia.

Céline Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire

I'm giving long overdue attention to this 😌👌 If a picture is worth a thousand words, here's 3 thousands words ... but in my paltry words this is time well invested, i've seen Petite Maman another film of Celine's and it was memorable, it's these... See More »

Ahhh I managed it folks

I can get yummy food delivered!! Had to talk with some nice bank lady, 2 super loaded subs and 3 energy drinks are on the way!! It's the gas station place I walk to, but the only place open this early, using Skip should work more smoothly now for all... See More »

If I could just manage to use all those other delivery things like Skip I'll reduce my grocery order to make room for the kinds of food I really love

My main problem was getting text verifications sent but I just received one so it might work out!! A family KFC smorgasbord would go down so nice, those greasy chicken pieces, fries, gravy, and yeah the obligatory coleslaw and macaroni, and soft... See More »

John Steinbeck's Cup of Gold

Just the beginning of chapter 3, and as I say in the recording the books that aren't my faves that i'm reading will only be recorded as samples.

Ernest Hemingway's The Torrents of Spring

His first novel upset Gertrude Stein as he was making fun of Sherwood Anderson who helped him into the writing biz, I pick up where I left off at chapter 9 ... I gotta get through this to get to his famous next novel he published the same year The... See More »

Brother and his wife made me a casserole!!

I am so fortunate, I had mentioned to him that I'd need to grab some food while we're out on Tuesday and I guess they decided to do that, it's like being handed a yummy sandwich while in Auschwitz or something. So i'll have something I still have... See More »

Soren Kierkegaard's Stages on Life's Way

One of his best, and I begin my reading of it while i'm really tired

(1)

Ingeborg Bachmann's Malina

This was adapted to the screen by Werner Schroeter, my favorite narrative film of his I've seen, i'm not ashamed to say it had me balling my eyes out. You can see it in poor quality, but if I ever see a better copy of it on YouTube i'll replace it... See More »

The desire to leave something behind

This is one of the reasons why people have children, but for me that is not the case, what do I love most of all things? Books and as you may have seen a flurry of posts with authors and titles, I am in the midst of a personally exciting all... See More »

EM Cioran's A Short History of Decay

Here it is one of my most valued books

Charles Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil

Translated by Richard Howard, the one who did Cioran's French books, oh this is an all timer for me as for legions of others

Nella Larson's Passing

An important work of fiction by a black lady, from the not too distant past, maybe like the 1930s or so, have heard great things about this

Simone Weil's Gravity and Grace

I 1st heard of this remarkable Catholic thinker in Henry Miller's The Oranges of Heironymous Bosch, and this is her most famous work, I start reading from a version riddled with typos I think I have a better one so when I continue I should be reading... See More »
