Solaris
A rare occurrence where I wish I had not read the source material prior to watching the adaptation.
I started reading Solaris by Stanislaw Lem in early 2025. I heard about this writer because I had read The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer and I was looking for similar books. A lot of people mentioned Solaris but often mentioned that it was a departure from Lem’s other works. So I read The Futurological Congress (the third book in a trilogy… why did I do that) in order to prepare myself for this writer’s style. I hated it. But because Solaris was supposed to be different, I decided to give it a chance.

I want to go outside and look for bugs but 1) it is not bug season and 2) there are spiders everywhere in my home for those with eyes to see.
Anyway, a few weeks ago while I was checking out at the grocery store, this old man complimented my baggu with an elephant pattern on it. He said, “I feel bad for them, y’know. Sorry, I like them a lot so I love your bag. It says something, shows that you care.”

I finished Pluribus and I’m about to finish There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm and I have many thoughts, and I want to articulate them. However, I need to express my immense disappointment in the direction that both stories take with the ‘other’ that, I guess, exposes my desire for a story about the ‘other’ where it is not diametrically opposed to the question of humanity. God!!! Something is seriously bothering me about it!!! I mean. I guess art did its job, it made me feel, and what it made me feel IS ANNOYED!

The Big Lebowski
Cool movie. I’ve always heard this movie referenced but like other movies I haven’t seen that are also often referenced, I kind of just mentally redact anything that has to do with them. No more!
Immediately, I liked all the main characters and how they were presented: Dude, Walter, and Donny, a trio of random dudes in a bowling league. I don’t think we ever get to learn how they became friends or joined a team together, but they had great chemistry. I will say, whenever John Goodman’s character, Walter, is on screen, he kind, like… kills it every time. One of the lines that made me laugh so much was “Shut the fuck up, Donny! V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!” Also, I learned that The Beatles had a song called “I am a Walrus.”

Everyone who drives a car should be a little bit of a mechanic, everyone who uses a phone or computer should be a little bit of a programmer.
