In my mind, it’s still the late months of 2000. It’s late 2000 and people are bitching about Florida fucking up the election. It’s late 2000 and there are a few people lamenting the fact that the world did not end at the onset of the new year. It’s theContinue Reading
I have always been an incessant list maker. I think it must be because I have enjoyed crossing things off the list. I don’t altogether know where this started, but it has been my experience for most of my life. I think the list can go either one of twoContinue Reading
It’s a vast amount of hours gone. It happens very slowly, or it seems to. What happens is this: it’s dark here very early in the evening now, and it stays dark all night. It’s quiet, or relatively, where I live. Almost all my memories over the entire course ofContinue Reading
I finished my manuscript (pre)Occupations today. This is generally a real cause for celebration. And anyone who knows me, knows that I love celebrations.
