How does it feel to be on your own? Sifting through the rubble, bringing up the dead, reassembling history from below.

About Me

jct2: I am here to post music videos, book reviews, notes on history and political-economy, movies, literature, whatever strikes my retired school teacher fancy. Maybe inventory family mementos and my overstuffed collections of oldies consumer artifacts, and slowly accumulate an online scrap book blog project thingy as a sort of last will and testament. Which sounds overly melodramatic. I'm thinking more along the lines of journaling or doing crossword puzzles to exercise my fading memories and keep my dull mind as sharp as possible. I'll probably default too much to yelling back at the TV and 24/7 news reports, as you can already see for yourself, but hope to build up some kind of discipline and routine where I can distill down some of my random thoughts on my own haphazard cultural consumption into something more than merely knee-jerk Hot Takes on the daily reports of the decline of western civilization but, you know, times are tough. Anyway, your attention is unexpected and bonus. Thanks.
