A little book of his drawings of fireworks that I love flipping through. I struggle with overthinking meaning too, so I enjoyed what is written on the last page: “… at some point the fireworks grew more and more abstract, and messy, and complicated, and I became if not content then at least willing to make things that didn’t have any apparent meaning.”

I read and stared at every page of this book in the first few days I lived in the new little home-behind-my-studio, a very emotionally intense time. I had been a long time fan of the interdisciplinary design studio, Bless — wore their clothes, coveted their objects — without really understanding the scope of what they do. I think this happens with all of us artists who don’t fit cleanly into a category — it’s a lot to expect people to understand every nuance of your intentions. But a book can do it; I really got it. The book set the tone for how I was living and thinking in this new space and this new chapter of my life — which I am thinking might be the whole second half until the end.

I specifically like this segment where Eno basically says his lack of knowing how to play instruments helps him be more creative than people that have that skill. As a writer with zero letters behind their name it give me hope man. I’m just always kinda going with the flow and doing my thing.

This year I finally remembered that I do know how to read. Was given a copy of this for my birthday from Claire! So far I’ve finished 3 books this year, and this one will be my 4th. I’m hoping to be able to call myself a twitter academic intellectual by the end of the year

It’s the best. I love falling asleep when we’re snuggled up close together. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable when she tries to push me off the edge of bed but it’s totally worth it.

It’s nice to spend time with these characters. I didn’t really like it when I watched the first episode a long time ago but now I really enjoy it.
