whadda fuckin con


time just keeps passing us by

your eyes do not deceive you… the total book count went down. i did a large book pruning this past month and removed 43 books. unfortunately a lot of those were read books so my total read went down.

a lot of those books went to remy and cody, may they enjoy thoroughly, and the other bunch went to the library, where i HOPE to fucking GOD they put the most valuable ones on the shelves. or at least the kickstarter books i didn’t crack open for like. eight years. go to a good home……..

𖤓

no book haul this month, and i haven’t done a lot of reading in july unfortunately. why?

i have been working on my webbed sites. it’s been my no. 1 focus. i can’t think of anything else except for webbed sites and archiving and drawing right now. i did try to read a bit but it didn’t work out.

i am a LITTLE behind on updating (i have two zines to review and yesterday night i watched the last episode of shoresy season 5) but honestly i have been doing well in this regard lately! no complaints!

☀︎

despite all the web work i have been doing on my other sites, i do not predict needing to work on media menagerie. it has reached a good point and i have found a groove. there are no hiccups in actively updating it and there’s nothing making it shit the bed. success!

i have no active projects for this site at the moment so we will keep sailing on strong.

remy has started his own site as well. i don’t know if i noted that already but here it is.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
