A Bitter Kind of Guy

Thoughts

The past 3 pocket notebooks, (yeah I know one of them is a literal stack of papers, I got lazy.) and some current reads, and rereads. There has been much to write about as of recent.

pages from my commonplace/journal. Kafka and Camus are all I think about nowadays...it could be worse.

its been a minute. these from my current pocket journal (leuchtturm 1917, dot grid) lots of love poetry and Kafka...that's all I can ask for in life I think.

Last night was my first time hearing Judith Weir's The Big Picture in concert. Cut and pasted some of the lyrics from my two favorite movements, Green and Blue. The lyrics in the pieces are often poems that revolve around color, (which is the whole overarching theme actually) Green features a poem by King Henry VIII, and Blue is based off of The Man With the Blue guitar by Wallace Stevens. Very cool. I ought to find more choir concerts to attend.

Listen to it here:

biased interpretations, book #16.

featuring a monthly overview! I'm hoping to better organize my life in terms of events. I've never been good at keeping up a planner, but I think this is a good no-stress planner alternative. it's called an "everything book" for a reason

notebook is the Fabriano Inspira (A6) in black

goodbye to book 15, March 11 2024- April 3 2024

a few pages of my first ever pocket notebook. I'm quite satisfied with my experience. I think i'll use pocket notebooks going forward, they fit my journaling habits better than a big notebook. as someone who's writing 24/7, I appreciate the portability.
