weekend reading | Other Than Restless

After spending last weekend main-lining the seven episodes of True Detective, we are all very excited for the finale this Sunday. Have you guys been watching it? The writer was actually inspired by a part of philosophy (nihilism) that Tyler is studying as an aspect of his PhD. So we've had a lot of fun talking about the different ways it shows up -- all the stuff about pointlessness, death, and the differing degrees of consciousness in the characters. And of course, we've loved the detective part too! There may or may not be a Childress/Le Doux family tree tacked up on the wall, as we try to figure out who-done-it.  I think it's just what I needed in this especially restless last bit of Winter.

weekend reading | Things That Made Me Feel Something Other Than Restless

• "I would rather be the version of myself that asks, What's next? Let's do it! instead of the one who demands, What's next? I need to know now." Megan Flynn
• missed connection: woman I was married to for 3 days as a college freshman.
• a catalogue of everything Chelsea Hodson owns and a daily dose of writing. I especially loved this: "we are making a kind of shelter, we are putting a sign that says Loud Room above the shelter so we all know it’s where we can live without writing anything down."
• will Don Draper end up being D.B. Cooper? maybe all this True Detective is getting to me.
