friends, enemies & the random internet strangers: i salute you all!
welcome to this little corner of the world wide web - my name is dersu (not my real name but sounds cool as hell) and im gonna be your host while youre here, so you may want to know a little bit about me
i love listening to music, reading books, and watching movies (like many of you! what a coincidence, am i right?) i enjoy a wide variety of stuff (don't we all?) but here's a selection of some of my favourites:
music: savages, elliott smith, manic street preachers, anything with elizabeth fraser on it, lorde, mitski, anna calvi, bob dylan, st. vincent, patti smith, david bowie, metric, tom waits, suzanne vega, sigur ros, suede, garbage, bjork, talking heads, sharon van etten books: alice oseman & james baldwin are my favourite authors - id read the user guide for the coffee machine if it was written by one of these two all kinds of poetry - sharon olds, wh auden, mary oliver, frank ohara, emily dickinson, ts eliot, nikki giovanni to name a few of my favourite poets scifi/fantasy/magical realism - anything, really, that brings some change to the reality that we live in, however little it may be movies: ok im getting a bit tired so ill just put my letterboxd top 4 in here, hope you dont mind --- perfect days (2023) lady bird (2017) eternal sunshine of a spotless mind (2004) portrait of a lady on fire (2019)
i like finding unexpected funny and unlikely connections between people and/or things - one of the things i want to use this blog for is to get to share some of these with you so that all of it may feel less insane to me
also forgot to mention, my favourite series is twin peaks & oh. how. i. just. adore. that. show.
again, im getting a bit tired and also running out of things to say, so guess this will be it for this time. i dont really have any plans for this blog - i think ill just post random things whenever i feel like it - may it be fun for us all!
