the score for Midsommar, the score for There Will Be Blood, Penderecki, and Wagner
what loneliness is
whether I should write a novel (again) and/or look for an agent (again) after several years' break from both
ritual and totem
desperation for fiefdom in situations of mortal stress (The Last of Us II)
unread books in my home
mail carriers
the particular feeling of not wanting to absorb new art by a favorite artist, for fear of something: maybe disillusionment, maybe using up all the possible new art by that artist so there is no more, maybe upsetting the status of my expertise
the personality traits of women in horsedom
the personality traits of people in teadom
life choices and trades and bargains and how they play out in extremely unlikely situations, like worldwide pandemics (cf the Fukishima disaster)
what to do about my work at QMT
[him]
reducing movies and books until they are "boring" / reducing stories until they are 1) stranger comes to town 2) someone goes on a journey 3) someone falls in love
the Mouth of Sauron and the nature of horror vs. torture porn
gore-bucket horror and splosh
this essay and "giving primacy to the erotics of your own experience"
whether life experiences during certain historical periods make it simply impossible for two people to see eye to eye
hunger and its expiration
whether I am going to be well-known
whether I am as smart as I think I am
whether my writing is doing what I think it's doing or I am in fact Brad Pitt in Twelve Monkeys
[that] (just answer me)
the role that the phone object plays in our lives, not the phone function
what Ed Wood wanted
money spent on smoothies
my arms
that fucking tattoo already, what the fuck
how and when various famous people will die
whether Twitter-famous people are always ultimately obnoxious (the honeymoon of a Twitter follow)
I am also thinking a lot about the horror/torture porn conundrum, and what it reveals about the people who like each (e.g. if they love Eli Roth movies, probably don't marry them)
Yeah. I honestly do not think that everyone who likes torture porn is not right in the head, but I'm always a bit worried about people who LOVE extremely depraved stuff.
In grad school one of my classmates, who was sort of hipster-goth (sounds awful but he was a cool dude) did a presentation on the Museum of Death. He told us there was a point where emotionally he had just...had enough, and he walked right out of there. That made me think he was good people. If you don't have a breaking point for dark shit, I'm worried about you.
