Unsure What to Write About

So I'm at a crossroads here. I have an "unofficial" quota I give myself for postings here, and I'm staring the deadline right in the face, and have yet to meet the quota. Worst part, I'm unsure what to write about...

I could write about the new novel I'm currently reading by Sally Rooney entitled: "Normal People". I'm two chapters in, and I utterly love it. I was originally going to get the book from the library, but I recently visited my favorite bookshop in the Loop, saw it on the shelf, and decided to treat myself.

I could also write about how there really isn't any music I want to buy. I almost bought the 1971- present LP boxset of the Rolling Stones. But after thinking it over, I decided against it. 1. Where would I store over 20 LPs? 2. I enjoy the Stones, and I have a couple of their albums, but I don't listen to them like I listen to The Beatles or Punch Brothers. So why buy something that expensive, if I'm not going to listen to it on a regular basis? So I didn't, and I'm very pleased with my decision.

In all honesty, I think I would rather just buy music from the Nonesuch label. I've fallen in love with folk and roots music, and Nonesuch consistently showcases the very best of that genre. In fact, if I get a new album at the station, and I see that its from Nonesuch, I'll immediately given it a listen to. That's how much I respect that label.

Well would you look at that, looks like I did have a few things to say. I only have four days left of my vacation, and I'm already looking at when I can take my next set of days off.

Favorite Books List

In 2017 I did my favorite albums list. In 2018 I did my favorite movies list. I think this year I'll write up my favorite books list. This maybe a BIG list. I could break it up into genres. Graphic novels. Mysteries. Biographies. Religious/Spirituality. So much to think about.

Moby's Second Memoir

My Copies of Moby's Memoirs 

I received Moby's second memoir in the mail today. Entitled "Then It Feel Apart", it's primary focus is the years 1999-2009. I'm thirty five pages in, and I'm utterly captivated. Moby has a very simple writing style, which almost reminds me of Hemingway's style. I feel as though I am standing next to Moby as events are transpiring.

I wonder. For years, he wrote daily blog posts on his website. I don't think I could do it daily, because what would I say everyday, without it becoming an online journal? Hmmm... I've inadvertently given myself something to think about.

Anyways, read Moby's first book Porcelain. It too is excellent. "Then pick up Then It Feel Apart". I'll need to posted a secondary updated once I've finished reading "Then It Feel Apart".
