Finished reading: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. Took me 2 days. What an incredible book. I never imagined my artistic psyche would be represented by a long dead 19th century poet, or at all, really, but here it is. The prose almost makes me cry. I’m already planning on re-reading it.

Read the short story The Second Bakery Attack by Haruki Murakami.

Read the short story Chivalry by Neil Gaiman.

Started reading: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke.

Read the short story Graham Greene by Percival Everett.

Read the short story What It Means When a Man Falls From the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah.

Read the short story Empty Places by Richard Parks.

Started reading: The Stand by Stephen King.

Read the short story Kin by Bruce McAllister.

Finished reading: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I started re-reading this for some reason I now forget. You know what? It’s still good. Read it in 5 days.

Book idea: “The Cat and the Splat”. It teaches children about roadkill through rhyme.: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/note/1572707141/

Saw Jojo Rabbit, and it’s fantastic. Hilarious, touching, poignant, hilarious. That’s 3 for 3 for Taika Waititi. Do yourself a favor and go see it. : https://www.chrisdeluca.me/note/1572703790/

Didn’t finish reading: A Brief History of Ireland by Richard Killen. Gave up after 50 pages and 6 days.

Didn’t finish reading The Silent Clowns by Walter Kerr. A giant coffee table book my wife already owned, I started reading it after watching City Lights and listening to the Unspooled podcast … Read more

Recommend Alan Ralph’s blog for Micro Monday. Great insights.

If you pause in the middle of a thought, people will try to fill that moment with themselves.

🍿 I saw #DolomiteIsMyName this weekend and I really enjoyed it. Eddie Murphy is great in it, but can we all agree that Wesley Snipes is a complete assassin? Super fun performance.

Did not finished reading: Building a Character by Contantin Stanislavski. Was leant this book by a friend to prepare for a play. It’s all anecdotes about how Stanislavski learned different techniques while a student. Fascinating. Weird. Useful? A trip. Gave up after 196 days and 152 pages.

Didn’t finish reading: The Actors Guide to Self Marketing by Carla Renata. Gave up after 73 pages and 17 days. Instantly depressing.

🍿 I just saw Spartacus for the first time. Amazing to think that the same director is responsible for Spartacus, 2001, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

It’s fine to have a strong opinion about a profession that’s not your own, and it’s fine to not have a strong grasp of that other profession, but not both.
