The Week in Uncollecting, 7/25/21-7/31/21
After a really productive week, a bit of a lull, as I started two books and have spent much of my downtime watching the Olympics. But I've got a few things of note here, one of which is that my movie list grew because Kanopy put a bunch of new documentaries and other films I'd …
Return of the Writing Pile
A little more than two years ago, I wrote about how, in the twenty years since I graduated college, I have written a lot but actually never considered myself a Writer. Much of that has to do with the lack of formally published works, which I could blame on gatekeeping if I ever actually stepped …
The Week in Uncollecting, 7/18/21-7/24/21
A rather productive week, at least when it comes to comic books this week, as I wound my way through the remaining books in my "to read" shortbox, and also finished a book and have been working my way through a couple of television shows (although there's nothing to really "report" here). So let's get …
Zeroed Out
Yesterday, I read the DC Comics adaptation of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. That means I can officially say that I have read every single physical comic that was in my "unread" pile. I knew this day was coming, and it would have come sooner if I hadn't stalled out on reading the digital …
Personal Archaeology 16: Cries for Help on a Desk
I copied it down in a notebook and then transcribed it to my journal sometime in the fall of 1993 at the start of my junior year of high school. I tended to sit in the back corner of Mr. Kalman's APUSH class and the classroom had the ancient type of school desks with attached …

The Week in Uncollecting, 7/4/21-7/10-21
Man, I'm tried. Three weeks have passed since the school year ended and I feel like it hasn't stopped. Plus, my routine is all sorts of screwed up (which usually is only the case during the first week of break, not the third), so I haven't been keeping track of things the way I want …
Okay, now. Reset for real this time.
I got my annual planner in the mail yesterday. Yeah, I'm one of those people who still uses a paper day planner, because while I do put appointments into my phone's calendar app, I still find that when I physically write things down and cross/check them off, I feel a sense of organization (or at …

June (and early July sometimes) always brings with it a little bit of accumulation each year because my birthday …
Working
I suppose there is something appropriate about my finishing Studs Terkel's Working on the last day of the school year when I usually spend my day getting ready to not work for an eight-week stretch. Of course, this could be total coincidence and the bigger factor in my finishing the book is that it's due …
