2025.08.23 // Currently watching: House of Five Leaves (さらい屋五葉). New third favourite anime?? Really wonderful. Everyone looks tired. Not to be confused with confusing book I recently finished.

In other news--today I am packing my great-grandfather's 90-100 y.o. magyar-angol phrasebook, for donation to a small Hungarian cultural museum in Ohio, where he was from. Every time I pick the book up, another small piece falls off.

Hello--I was having a conversation with melvins-world about Bryce3D and went looking for sites talking about it. I saw your post 3yr ago on computer-updated, who doesn't appear to be active. You mentioned you were a fellow Bryce enjoyer.

Melvins-world recommended I upload some of my old Bryce creations from a summer camp in '06. I was wondering if you know of anybody anywhere on the web making a Bryce archive or collection. Thanks!

2025.08.19 // Forgot to mention having read two other works since starting Sable--V and Crying of Lot 49. The prior--will require a second pass to understand at all, certainly before moving onto Mason & Dixon.

CL49--fucking great, the Pynchon I would recommend starting with. Can't believe he thinks so little of it. End of Area X dragged on cuz I wasn't enjoying it. Now time for Pale Fire--thanks to ancientcrypt for the suggesstion! Moshfegh still isn't in stock. :(

Thoughts on ST up to ch. 9 (let me know if I'm posting too much) --- "three flights of non-stairs" is living in my head forever. Love your repeated use of McDonald's. "Acid tastes sour / this is irony" incredibly fire line. Perversion & beauty are one and the same (!!!)

2025.08.17 // Felix Biederman once remarked that Zack Snyder is not a fascist; he's simply bisexual. Had someone approached him early in his career and informed him, we wouldn't have had to suffer through 300, Batman v Superman, et. al. Someone dear to me, junior year of high school, approached me with the same news. "Alex, you're bisexual; you'll be happier if you just accept it." And look how I turned out!

If only someone could travel to 1994 and visit this knowledge upon Amelia. Perhaps then the whole story would have never happened; we'd be left with the "Breaking Bad set in Canada" meme. Alas.

Re: LLMs, I too argue your voice is not robot-like. I agree with j0ner; your prose moves with unmistakable soul. Employing one's own high lit style outside of a Simon & Schuster publication is no grounds for suspicion.

thank you v much!! Smaller Things is not yet done, so if you read fast you'll run out of chapters soon, but I am still actively writing it, and hope to be finished it relatively soon!! I have the rest of the plot worked out, it's just emotionally taxing to write, lol

Gravity's Rainbow (Pynchon) -- will eschew review as it was the reason I finally started writing this book in the first place. "He got away with that??" as an excellent reason to stop burying your story in your head.

House of Leaves (Danielewski) -- truly a beautiful love story.

Area X trilogy (VanderMeer) -- almost done with the last book. Not as scary as I'd hoped. Too many adjectives.

Reading next... My Year of Rest and Relaxation (Moshfegh), that is, if my bookstore ever gets it in stock.

Looks great, and thank you! Yes the idea behind my homepage is that it's an unfolded book. You start at the cover and work down. This is because, one day when this is all over, I will be printing Sable, myself if I have to.
