We did Twin Peaks a few years ago and both really liked it. No Showtime, so we need to wait for the revival to get released elsewhere. Haven't seen Fire Walk With Me—all I know of it is what David Foster Wallace wrote in his excellent essay on Lynch, which included his opinion that Sheryl Lee deserved an Oscar just…

I don't know why, but that really cracked me up. Thanks, man.

Rococo is one of my prime examples of the terrible things that happened to Arcade Fire's lyrics.

Sending good vibes for a turnaround.

Well, Gimme Shelter would fit well with the image.

Almost done with Journal of the Plague Year. I'm starting to feel like Whatsisname in Teleportation Accident, dragging Berlin Alexanderplatz around with him for decades. Still slow, but there's more interesting stuff. It's a meandering book that occasionally goes to interesting places. I will sell it, but I will…

I've been reading the collected Runaways, and am at the back half of v.3. Normally I'm hesitant to keep going when a different writer comes in for something that was so much one person's creation, but when said different writer is Joss Whedon, no problem. I may try the Terry Moore written ones too.

Thanks, man. If nothing else, I got a glimpse of the idea of my job as something I could be invested in. So, something to reach for there.

Kinja's in for the week after next? I think I missed something, have they posted the account migration instructions?
