Another of Wednesday Addams's best lines: "I act as if I don't care if people dislike me. Deep down...I secretly enjoy it." Her favorite words? "Pathetic." "Hate." "Kill." "Dislike." "Darkness." And somehow, she makes them feel like poetry.

Word of the Day: Palimpsest (noun) — A manuscript or surface that has been written on, erased, and written over again, with traces of the original still visible. The city was a palimpsest, each generation leaving its mark without fully erasing what came before. Pronunciation: PAL-imp-sest

January ended with several client projects wrapped and delivered. Different voices, different goals, same standard. Good work is quiet. Finished work is better.

📖 Word of the Day: Eschaton (noun) – A theological term for the “end of all things,” the final destiny of humanity and the world. She moved through the airport as if every shadow was a prophecy, each glance a whisper of the eschaton creeping closer. Pronunciation: ES-kuh-ton

🐭💔 We didn’t take over the world. We didn’t even make it to Chapter 6. But I did deepen a romantic arc, spill coffee on my notes, and rewatch cartoons for “research.” Technically… progress. 📺 90s nostalgia: Pinky and the Brain

A commenter asked me, “What are you going to do today, Jacobs?” My mind doesn’t work like most. It went straight to Pinky and the Brain. I was going to write Chapter 6. A slow-burn deepening of my mains’ romantic arc. Instead, I typed back: “The same thing we do every day, Commenter… try to take over the world!” 🐭🌍

Once upon a time, TV gave us On Golden Pond. And even the commercials had heart. Folgers told better stories in half a minute than streaming does in a season. “The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup.”

Books used to be good. One dog. One bullet. Lifetime of trauma.

Modern kids get participation trophies. We got Where the Red Fern Grows and a front-row seat to grief. Emotional Butchery served on a fine silver platter.

How do you write? Are you the type who spends months outlining, mapping, and planning every twist? Or are you more like Darius Kincaid: “While all you guys are wasting your time planning and aiming and deducing, I just do my thing, and my thing has always been better than your fucking thing.” Which camp are you in?

Still the greatest South Park episode of all time. Revenge served cold… with chili. Revenge is a dish best served as your parents disguised as chili. So sayeth Cartman...
