Things I've Made Lately (and Goodbye 2010)

Pilcrow tattoo!

a knit blanket for Theresa!

the Christmas anarchy cookie!

a shawl for Robyn!

fried plantains!

goodbye 2010!

no more pain, no more suffering, no more knitting scarves, no more motels


just Boots II in a court jester costume and galas and fake sausage casseroles


no more phone calls, no more articles to write, no more 2010


a metaphor in anticipation of 2011: trash dolphin

More Things I Wrote

"Chelsea Hotel No. 2" by Leonard Cohen

"Oh! Susquehanna" by Defiance, Ohio

"Bloomington, IN" by Ghost Mice

"Honest Sleep" by Touche Amore

"One Great City!" by The Weakerthans

"San Bernardino" by the Mountain Goats

Let me also say, I'm not entirely proud of all of the writing here. I'll be the first to say that some are excessively wordy. Don't think less of me.

WHOA

Does this make anyone else kind of excited and want to write science fiction?

I'm like that guy from Almost Famous

Interview!

Hyperlink is the barely legible words above.

My first interview for the music website I'm writing for with Chris Clavin of Ghost Mice, founder of Plan-It-X records, Walking Dead fan and Bloomington, IN resident!

There is a misplaced contraction in the above sentence, but I don't care. Interpret as you will. An exercise in grammar is the gift of learning I give to you this holiday season.

I didn't make up the generic tag, just so we're clear.

Cool as this guy. There.



Only in part because of this, the fruit of countless hours behind the desk of a motel. Just so you know, I am no. 1, in THE WORLD in Crack Attack. The score to beat is me, Maggie.

I had the most amazing night. I would go on, at length, about all the people I met and all the wonderful things I did. I could just simply say that I think I fell in love.

How did I manage to see Japanther twice in the past two months? How did I update this blog twice today without regular internet access?

It's Over, Samsung

I may never turn my phone on again. I realized that telephones are the harbingers of anxiety. Good news, bad news... I don't want to know.

In other news, I am on the GUEST LIST for an amazing show tonight and I cannot go because I will be at Motel 6. Even if I'm not there, my cool points are way up, although I'm not sure where to redeem them. I also made an amazing burrito. I cleaned my bedroom/closet. I'm dogsitting this weekend in a beautiful house near the national forest. Robyn's coming to town! I have big plans for Saturday night. I'm reading a good book, I have a phone interview for a job in Oklahoma City. I'm getting a coupon for free kombucha.

See? All I had to do was apply myself and life became wonderful.

I was going to put a picture of Slick Rick here and say something to the effect of "cool as this guy," but it is taking way too long and I gotta get ready for work.
