As Always, There Is Much Happening

And my desire to condense it into an update prevents the update itself.

Since it's the last thing I wrote about here, inbox zero, combined with a switch from Google to Proton for mail services has increased my enjoyment of mail and made newsletters more readable. I'd been following some good writers, now I actually read them. And the reading is inspiring, moreso than microblogging.

Along the lines of microblogging, I am more rigorous about writing on my Letterboxd, even though I was delinquent for the beginning of the year. I'm trying to get together various retrospectives for 2025, including my top new releases.

I also recently participated in a music mix/swap where I took inspiration from my movie-going. There's a youtube playlist and explanation list.

I'm trying not to commit to too much in the new year where I am full of restless energy, but some other thoughts for 2026:

• Accept the poor image
• Dispel the illusion of explanatory depth
• Barf forth apocalyptica
