Update to the Now page

By Justin G. on

What I’m reading

I read the short book Kissa by Kissa by Craig Mod. After finishing it, I want to make pizza toast and go to Japan.

I read Borges’ A Short History of Iniquity, the first part of the Complete Fictions collection. It is also short, only 64 pages. The first half has to be a setup, much of it is so tame and straightforward. The second half gets going and it feels like your mind is melting a little as the reader (me) is lead to all the bizarre and fantastical ends. I want to go back and see if there are secrets in the first stories that my antenna just wasn’t tuned in to yet.

I also perused the Early Writings in Borges’ Selected Non-fictions. And by perused I mean I read them. They are similarly excellent and also short, 41 pages.

When I finish that, I’m not sure what I’ll read next. Maybe I’ll know by Wednesday.

I’ll read some more of Syntopicon.

What I’m doing

Ugh, running.

Also new notebook week.

What I’m listening to

Music, podcasts, other.

What I’m cooking

Those chickpea salad sandwiches I mentioned last week. Note substitutions: yogurt -> Kewpie mayo, and added some celery. Vegetarian ramen. Tomato risotto, but I’ll mention more about that later. Bittman mushrooms, or bistro mushrooms, or whatever you want to call them.

What I’m watching

Bringing these back online slowly.

What I’m playing

NMS. On the hunt for a good freighter. And some good fish.

Background

Things I am doing off and on.

Ongoing reading projects

These are books that I plan to take my time with. Maybe years.
