Shonan Beach FM 78.9

Category: Blogging

A recollection of a week with my flip phone, an unreasonable enthusiasm for political commentary on YouTube, a deepening pit of burrowing anxiety in my gut, and Sicilian lemon gelato. Time is not as I remember it. Instead of unfurling into a great, bright path studded with increasing numbers and footsteps, it crouches at my feet like a torture » Continue Reading

Melamine

Category: Life

I realize I haven't updated in around a month now - July really passed me by. I got pretty deep into writing my thesis, cleaning a lot of data that I didn't end up using (oops) and today I need to move on and start working on what to say in my Discussion section (possibly the most important part of the whole document). I ended up finding some pretty unusual effects that contradicted one of my hypo... » Continue Reading

Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Category: Blogging

The house is filled with still, almost smoky air and there are two mold-kissed carrots embracing in the fridge. After spending half a week in the countryside, feeling bare skin against dew-laden grass and cold air ripple through the shutters, I am back home. The lights make my eyes feel all smudged, somehow too bright but too dim, and there is a constant ringing in my ears and a pounding anxiety t... » Continue Reading

Delphi

Category: Writing and Poetry

Yesterday marked the winter solstice; the air was dry and sharp like a collection of invisible serrated knives, the haze of clouds above held the distant hills ransom - all pale blue, leaning against the sky. After a few weeks of devolving into complete nothingness, I made my way up to Noble Hills and felt the gentle, unexpected kiss of sunlight on my shoulders. It seems the weather was indecisive... » Continue Reading

Mauchly's

Category: Life

If I drive myself insane, that is my own fault. I'm at my desk, which currently has loose paper strewn across it, all scribbly blue ink and violent red corrections. I cannot afford to misunderstand anything, to misread a word - I have to keep going. I have to feel every single concept on the lecture slides like it is the sweat seeping out of me, like a galvanic skin response that keeps on going, a... » Continue Reading

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
