do you struggle with focus? is your brain a little wonky? pleas don't say it's just me. i found the book the last samurai in the library downstairs and figured maybe it's a sign from god. i tried it years ago in my studio apartment and put it down. lately i tried her new book and put it down. now the last samurai doesn't seem as off-putting, maybe because my library queue has halted, and maybe my brain changed. something's in the air these days i can't put my finger on. reductio ad absurdum it occurs to me.

 israel has erased sixty percent of gaza, forcing the living east toward the sea. memorial day for the dead of empire.

the global sumud land convoy is headed for gaza, and stan wawrinka is playing the 4th set of his last tournament in paris. 

it seems like it would be impossible to imagine this world, but we do.

repeat. cats for peace. repeat.

 We saw The Bride last night. It was phantasmagorical, wildly kinetic, fueled by Mary Shelley's disquiet beyond the grave. It's so intense it's hard to say much about the meaning, but you feel it, viscerally. It will be interesting to see where Maggie Gyllenhaal goes next, after The Lost Daughter, and The Bride. 

 Olive loves Rain.

 interesting. what's it about?

If I had a gravestone I'd like it to be like Herman Ruhle's.
