sheila heti’s alphabet diaries

if you keep your diary on the computer, after almost 2 decades, you could end up with 500k words. you could put the sentences into a spreadsheet, alphabetize them, and cut until it reads like a book. or one could, at least. perfect for reading on the train when you can’t focus. maybe even more perfect for fans of darcie wilder’s unparalleled newsletter, sentences (gone but not forgotten).

Reading people’s diaries

Miss Anaïs Nin really serves it to us hot in her published journals. doesn‘t hold back. I’m reading one now that I think her estate waited to publish after everyone involved was dead and honey I see why. I need to know what her sign was but I refuse to learn until I finish this book. I wish I could read the journals of people I know

diary of a philosophy student vol. 1 by simone de beauvoir

truly felt like reading my own journals from when I was 18, 19, but infinitely more discerning and eloquent! “O my self, I will be sincere, sincere to you, completely sincere.” “I will suffer; that is all. I will be strong enough.” “I take back everything; I give up all faithfulness … I would like to live! I am going to live ... I am giving myself up; I am letting everything collapse, and I will start over again with something else. I am no longer paying attention to moral values; I am no longer seeking to do something. I want to be, to be. My beloved self, on an evening of exaltation, I promised you I would love you well.”

Chinatown

Not incredibly old and I hate who directed this film but what can I say… I love a 70s does film noir with my whole heart. I‘ve seen this movie at least 25 times and it truly never gets old. The soundtrack, Faye Dunaway being a babe, old and beautiful Los Angeles… the list goes on.
