007

Category: Blogging

I woke up on Sunday with the strange smudge of a bruise on my left arm, the colour of ochre and celadon. This morning I woke up to find cat scratches on my chest, non-parallel - there's a disordinal interaction happening right there. Someone open up Jamovi and investigate whether the interaction is removable or not. Can you tell I have my statistics final coming up soon? No? Aw, you're so kind. An... » Continue Reading

Bodysnatchers

Category: Blogging

Sometimes I think about the past.  When you’re truly fed up with someone, even the small, stupid ding of an iMessage can feel like a hand closing around your windpipe. The body reacts before the mind does: jaw tightening, stomach tightening, hands itching to do something irrational with your phone. In June 2024, I considered tossing mine into the river behind the university. That month was defined... » Continue Reading

Discomfiture

Category: Blogging

When I was younger, my father drove me deep into a national park in the middle of the night—somewhere between one and two a.m.—because I couldn’t sleep. I suffered from a kind of insomnia that felt more like a quiet haunting. When we got there, he smiled and told me to yell. Just scream. As loud as I wanted. So I did. I was surrounded by hectares of bushland and dark trees, the quiet static chirpi... » Continue Reading

Incisor Erosion

Category: Blogging

I had a bit of a digital relapse, I felt like a terribly thirsty camel with a collapsed hump, and quite honestly, revisiting the mindless ravines of Instagram and Tiktok did not do a whole lot for me. At least I can be jogging on a treadmill while scrolling, I feel like that is a better use of my time. Anyhow, iPhone will be back in the kitchen cupboard tomorrow, and the only thing I should see on... » Continue Reading

Excerpts

Category: Life

I felt that it might be an interesting idea to share some of my unpublished diary entries from the past few months. I do find it hard to stay consistent but there is something a little intoxicating about the detail. The exactness of the day, hour and minute. So, please, enjoy! 23/1/25 5:18pm A constellation of acne has bloomed across the left side of my face - morning sweats, maybe? I changed my s... » Continue Reading

The Hermit Crab with a Painted Shell

Category: Blogging

It is true, I do feel a little bit like a husk. A spent casing, maybe, a cocoon with no caterpillar wrapped up inside. The more present and attentive I become towards the corporeal, the more loveless I feel. Loveless reminds me of lossless , a word that actually has more to do with headphone audio quality than poetic melancholy. Though—give me a second » Continue Reading

Hierarchical Regression Is a Masculine Act

Category: Life

The Most Tender Place Is Under My Chin I wish I could say interesting things have happened these last few weeks, but strangely enough, I’ve been left alone. I gave myself razor burn a few times — too fastidious about my patchy stubble, too focused on trying to sharpen something that’s still coming in. I started using EndNote again, annotating each article as if it were a clergyman’s copy of the Bi... » Continue Reading

Sporus

Category: Blogging

Man oh man. If I ever have to see those beastly caterpillars again - all grotesque and lime green and jittery - I swear I will plant so many garlic bulbs that they suffocate from the smell. It is my one-month anniversary of my herb garden (sage, Italian basil, parsley, red basil, rocket) and my sage and Italian basil have been destroyed. Eaten. Devoured without any second thought. And not even by ... » Continue Reading

Cyparissus

Category: Life

It feels profoundly illegal and controversial to take an evening walk without a phone, water bottle, or mp3 player. The only thing on my person was my house keys, which jingled and jangled awkwardly as I walked past the population of my neighbourhood: old ladies with bad hips, middle-aged men talking loudly on the phone, yapping puppies finding a nice area of green to piss on. And I sat down on th... » Continue Reading

The Windmills Of Your Mind

Category: Life

Awkward. I ended up rejecting the position after all, so no induction for me, and now I have Friday free to play around on Jamovi and study really hard for my stats quiz. Why did I do that? Well, the police clearance I applied for is taking forever, and I will probably hear back from them in a few weeks, which means I don't think I was eligible to sign a contract anyway. That aside, a few more job... » Continue Reading

King Neptune

Category: Life

I'm here, and probably will be here a lot more often, while I figure things out. It is a familiar refuge.  So right now I'm a little stressed because I got accepted for a job, but it doesn't seem like anything to do with the job is going too well. I have to go to this mental health training course, and was apparently 'enrolled', but there is no way for me to log into the portal, and nobody is resp... » Continue Reading

The Severed Floor

Category: Life

Sometimes during the long-winded sections of my lectures, I open up Chess.com (while aware of all the judgemental eyes behind me) and complete a blitz while half-listening to the lecturer drone on about alpha, beta, theta, eta. Sometimes you will be halfway through a game and realize that you've caught a piece (maybe a knight, a bishop) in a rather compromising position - but you cannot help but f... » Continue Reading
