Good Enough

A belated episode, correcting the last episode's sound, missing the Super Bowl, connecting with old friends via Houseparty, being roped into a group text, feeling accomplished at working out again, the need for positive self-talk, sustainability and the importance of leaving something in the tank, Haruki Murakami's writing process, returning to school, having our Zoom lecture crashed, staying calm in moments of crises, gender pronouns in ASL, getting back into Russian literature, the merits of Dostoevsky's "The Double" and the depiction of mental illness, the compelling frame story of the 2004 horror film "Saw," missing weed, and Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of "Inherent Vice" and other tedious art.
