I listened to Smog’s Knock Knock album through headphones for the first time today it was a revelation. I’d previously only listed to it through speakers at low low volumes. Almost twenty years of living in Japan has me trained to be hyper aware of bothering neighbours, though they don’t seem to have any issues with firing up the weed whacker at seven in the morning on a weekend. Anyway Knock Knock is really good.
I recently bought a couple of linen shirts from Uniqlo. It’s a very nice light linen that really lets the breeze through so these’ll be great in summer. Buuuuuut, they have no pockets. What am I supposed to do with my reading glasses when I take them off to walk or drive? What am I supposed to do with my sunglasses when I go into a store? Ideally, I’d want a shirt with two pockets — one for each pair of glasses. I guess I’m going to have to become a rich enough to afford my own tailor. Or skilled enough to be able to sew my own shirts. How hard could it be?
How does this watching movies thing work again? I know I’ve done it before — my Letterboxd account claims that I’ve seen hundreds of the things. But recently, it’s hard to find the mental space for two hours of filmed entertainment. I guess I saw Megalopolis a few weeks ago, but I feel like that doesn’t really count.
