What i've been watching, listening to, reading. I used to keep such detailed lists in old notebooks and journals. especially books I'd read (back when I used to read 30+ books a year). who knows if i'll actually keep this up. it's just a space to process the art i consume and write through my reactions and thoughts. i'm not a critic and i really want to fight the drive within myself to approach everything critically. sometimes art and media can simply be fun and entertainment. i don't think i'm really smart enough to critically appraise anything. i just like pop culture, media, and art.

i just want to curate good taste in myself

wanna go home?

media diary

i watched the first four episodes of bad girls club season 7 with leah and juliet last night. how have i never watched it before it's legendary. i genuinely can't believe that people like this exist in the world, they have to be putting it on at least a little bit, no? it feels like someone asked the question, "what if we recreated the stanford prison experiment but in a tacky mansion with a bunch of alchoholic baddies?" and somehow by the grace of god it got greenlit. insane

holy shit i'm going back and listening to the black eye peas because a song came on at work and i realized, wait this kind of shreds. and honestly??? is it so corny and full of bizarre sonic choices??? yes absolutely. does it still pop the fuck off? both can be true. it is giving me traumatic war flashbacks to middle school, which is what i would call an adverse effect but that's okay. like this shit is digging up memories. still hitting though.

listened to the new hooky + winter ep that came out today. i really love it, i want a full length in the same vein so bad. the last track really reminded me of loop finding jazz by jan jelinek.

i'm slowly making my way through the thief's journal by genet and i wish i had found this book ten years ago. it's rocking my shit now but i think it would have become my bible if i had found it then. i think i may go back and reread it immediately after i finish it i'm so obsessed. it voices so perfectly my ideal moral aesthetic in such an unabashedly gay manner. it's so frank and unflinching in it's detailed worship of transgression, criminality, and gayness. it's a study in the beauty of wrongness. I can't perfectly articulate my thought's right now, i'm too caffeinated, but i have the feeling that this book is going to become scripture to me. i love when artists spotlight what is hidden by standard societal mores and define it's virtues in opposition to hegemonic culture. I think it's why i'm so drawn to john waters, lynch, rimbaud, and wilde. I should reread une saison en enfer. I think it would be a good companion piece.

I found a tape at al's today called adjust your tracking 3 and it's so rad! someone just put together a bunch of wrestling clips, commercials, music performances, and random day time tv clips and recorded it to tape. I tried looking up the guy who made it but all his socials are defunct now. total bummer. but at least i have this one tape. it really makes me want tapes of old commercials. or even better, tapes of recorded tv, commercials and all.

I rewatched an extremely goofy movie last night. It was one of my favorite tapes as a kid. And it's funny, my current vhs copy has the exact same previews as my childhood tape did. I was so shocked that I remembered them. I must have watched that tape a million times. anyways, the movie was just okay. I don't think I'm in either age group that it's aimed for. but that's okay. the soundtrack still fucking rips though. so many classics on there! "Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades"????? "Knock on Wood"???? "Right Back Where We Started From"!? bangers all of them.
