This is probably the wrong platform to ask *but* me and my partner are looking for a sublet in Montréal May 23-June 22nd with an easy commute to Concordia. Closed bedroom essential, in-unit laundry, AC, and nearby parking desirable. Non smoking, non partying, boring AF middle aged artist-academics.

the map is a matrix - the horizontal axis labeled "TO" and the vertical axis labeled "FROM". An identical list of locations runs along each axis in rows or columns. in the square where they intersect is a compass direction, indicating the way you go in the game to travel from the location named in the row TO the location named in the column.

this map, from a guide to the Hobbit text adventure game, is great

was just startled by the sound of something scuttling loudly in the corner of my bedroom, but to my great relief, i'm fairly certain it was just the sound of me knocking over a small sack of rocks when i was adjusting my chair.

it's remarkable how we all decided facebook is for scams and low-grade propaganda and normalized quitting it, and yet people will treat it as a requirement for being alive that you have an account on facebook 2 (instagram)

jeremy from peep show in front of a bookcase asking "That's good is it? What's good about that?" after reading a chosen-at-random uninteresting sentence from a book.

this just feels like this scene from peep show. or to put it another way, more like the new york philistines.

if only noah baumbach's mediocre 2022 film adaptation of don delillo's white noise had been a hit among the teens, they would have been so prepared for exactly the scenario of being in a college class being lectured to about elvis.

A poem.

Allowables
By Nikki Giovanni

I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this 
Was only a small
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me 
And I smashed her
I don't think I'm allowed
To kill something
Because I am
Frightened

body update: tonight my face is leaking so many fluids. for whatever reason my eyes are steadily watering in addition to endless runny nose. very irritating.
