This is going to wrap up nicely. I like this post.

| Ryan Gosling for Gucci Valigeria

Did you know that the sun makes a figure 8 in the sky? I thought it fitting to celebrate this fact and date it with eights all around, because, well, eight is such a great number.

| The Prisoner : Number 48

It's been another long night, as you can tell. I struggled again with this post, as I have with all of the others. I want . . . something. To communicate . . . what?

| The Architect : Les Pensées

| Chris Hemsworth and Arnold Schwarzenegger | Elevator Ride

I heard this quote a few months ago : "What you pay attention to grows", and I'm ready to walk on by.

I have nothing to add to the expressions of grief that followed Sinéad O'Connor's death. I wasn't surprised, but I was stricken.

| Sinéad O'Connor : I Am Stretched on Your Grave (Apple Brightness Mix)

| Sinéad O'Connor : Troy (Live At The Dominion Theatre, 1988)

| Beck : The Information

| Battles : Atlas

Timer on! Not really, but I AM racing a little faster than normal. Next, I'm going to try dictating to Siri for the text. I thought about leaving in Siri's mistakes, just to make it more open to synchronistic interventions.

| Beach Boys : Good Vibrations

| Casino Royale (1967) • The Look of Love • Dusty Springfield

I told myself at the beginning of this incarnation that I would “speed post”, but I F’d completely on that mission this evening. Like a second date, you know? I wanted to get it as right as I could. Here it is.

| Marvin Gaye : Trouble Man

| A Hero’s Journey: Jannik Sinner

Salve. Tonight we celebrate the first of the Blue Moons, which is also the first of the two Supermoons of this August. It is known as the Sturgeon Moon, Lynx Moon, Grain Moon, and Corn Moon, among other names. It is an auspicious and, I think, wonderful time to begin again.

| Kevin Yost : Pendulum

| Carl Jung : I don’t need to believe. I know.
