Chinaski must be on his 35th job by now.

Because we reconstruct our memories rather than lifting them inviolate out of some box in our mind, with each moment we move forward in time we become more imaginary.

Sam Cooke’s birthday today AND the live at the Harlem Square Club performance just turned 60 ten days ago. The version of Bring It On Home To Me on that album is easily one of my favorite live recordings of anything, any time, anywhere

Finally started reading the copy of TRUE GRIT I bought when the Coen movie came out. Why did I wait so long and how quickly can my bookstore get the rest of the Portis oeuvre in stock?

Second read of 2023. A haunted ship with a ghostly woman leading the charge to find a snake with the hidden knowledge. Hellboy punches monsters. Intricate and well-drawn. Hats off,

My dude coming through with a new one this year. Can’t wait. 🫡

There’s an article about us in

@TheTyee

today, so I’m posting on Twitter, which is where people who read The Tyee hang out (including me!) Thanks

In Gibsons, Reasons to Live bookstore has been life-changing for its young proprietors. Despite the odds, they’re keeping on.

Now that's we're getting closer, I want to remind folks that THE STRANGE will be coming out in a little over two months. Pre-orders make a massive difference in how a book performs, so please do, if you're inclined. (Link in next tweet.) Thanks, everyone.

Local experimental electronic label

@hotham_sound

has my number!! These new releases are absolutely killer. I’m especially enjoying Nuit juane, strong early Vangelis vibes. I can envision starting my day with this one regularly. hothamsoundrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/nuit-jau

So many good shout-outs here and a few new ones to explore.

Only a few days left to get 50% off at the Winter sale magnum-galaxy-games.itch.io and t-3 days til Nirvana on Fire: Expanded Edition launches on Kickstarter! So pumped. Also, I'm moving new years day because I haven't got enough other stuff going on ;-) 🔥

“…enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough. Nothing else really counts at all. End of sermon. As Buddha says: live like a mighty river. And as the old Greeks said: live as though all your ancestors were living again through you.” —Ted Hughes

A quote from my favourite poet Ted Hughes, in a letter to his son: “The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly…”

A head’s up: we just accepted two stories for the January issue of The Dark, but we are still short two more, and I need them in hand in two weeks or less. As an enticement, here’s a sneak peek at the cover for next month. Your name could be on the front, too! :p
