accidentally fell into a conversation on twitter with someone about kubrick only to remind myself that i put the pseudo in pseudo intellectual. his take was kind of absurd but he had the confidence of someone willing to wield it that came from at least a wellspring of knowledge as opposed to the mountain of trivial that ive built my house of shards upon. all of which is just a preface to the realization that i use to make amtrak reservations under different names, one of my favorites of which was david bowman, bowman because i was a sagittarius, and if i ever knew, i have no recollection of the fact that is this the name of the lead character in 2001. did i mention trivial?

been vaguely eying the wimbledon brackets for the last few days but havent tuned in until today. nadal down 2 sets to 1 to american! taylor fritz currently seeded #11. never heard of him but its not i follow the sport closely. says he is 24. im not listening to the announcers so i dont know if nadal is nursing an injury but seems like something is bothering him a little. nadal has won the first two slams this year. djokovic still lurking among others. this is a quarter final match.
womens draw seems in tatters but simona halep who won wimbledon in 2019 has made her way to the semis. not sure i recognize the others.

feeling the need to scratch that downton abbey itch. not quite as posh but similar vibes from hotel portofino. the tagline mentions a whodunnit but midway through the second episode the inciting incident has yet to be revealed.
