Currently busting my sides to Doug Stanhope's Digging Up Mother. I've never called my mom "mother" but now it feels entirely sensible. TBH any designation I've used for any adult member of my family that had any option always felt weird. My aunts and uncles were always just their names, my grandmother was always "meema" cause she's my grandmother and she gets called whatever I called her as a child, my grandfather was called "dad" until I realized it was weird to call your grandfather "dad" just cause you didn't have any other father figures in your life, but now I will make a total switch to calling the woman who ejected me "mother" if only because she won't be used to it. Sorry, mom, but comedy demands it.

I’ve been reading texts on Brian Eno for years, and thought it might be a good idea to start tracking all of the books in my library. I compiled data from biographical websites, from my Goodreads account, and my physical and digital libraries and secured copies of books from around the world to build as complete a library as I was able.

I started it yesterday and have to force myself put it down it's so engrossing. Insanely well written and has that hard to pin down style that makes me love Sebald but in a different voice (or a couple).

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper

Too boring to follow. Finished out of a sense of duty.

Marijuana is referred to as weed though. Kind of interesting.
