Like that life before buildings song where they say “eyes like lotus leaves—no, not even like, lotus leaves.“

😃why would i live in the real world when I could live in abstractions and protective mental layers survival guides and guidelines and factions, maps and diagrams and how tos and explanations and techniques and little mental photographs philosophical soliloquies and poetry and wanderlust neptunian narrations incessant observations hilarious meta ironic analyses and horny shame based accusations hyperreality nonsense and reality television intimacy above the problem aquarian fantasies all in retrospect retroperfect retrogradual increments all divided in on separate screens up in the watchtower and instead i dip my toes in masquerade balls mimicry conduit flavorless flavors ornamental killing me softly slowly bankrupt and lonely assertively distasteful blanket statement insults and coiled up mangled incantations as handfuls of figureless paintings and moronic amelioration fornicate and making magic angels fight from angles only some could bare to see

⏰No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk - lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
