The First Eight Months

As noted in prior updates and recent newsletters, I will be stepping away for the next month and a half as I prepare for and depart on a trek through Chilean frontiers. Until then, I have assembled here some highlights from 2024 to date.

In case you missed it, the blog’s longest ever post – on cults and cult movies – was published yesterday. It can be found here.

On the significance of certain frames:

• Bringing the Factory to the Farm
  (1992’s Baraka)
• Modernism of the Soul
  (2017’s Columbus)
• Singularly Felt but Universally Relatable
  (2023’s A Murder at the End of the World)

Some features from the ongoing journal:

• 47 Years (or, Thoughts on Retirement)
• The Price of Connection
• On the Intimately Remote
• Syllables of Existence
• Embracing Prevention
• Framing Life
• At the Confluence of Dreams

Memories dwelled on with intention:

• A Well-lit Darkness
• Formative Fires
• Memories, Randomly Accessed
• Embers of Empire
• Skye: A Gallery

And for any cricket enthusiasts out there:

• The Gravity of the Game
• “It’ll have to go”

See you back here in October!
