This morning I took out my dying camera to see if it still works.  It sort of does.  The screen on the back is permanently white, which means I look through the viewfinder instead.  I can't adjust the pixels (or make any adjustments, for that matter).  But here is where I live, San Luis Obispo.

How this house goes on with seven people and four cats and no drama is beyond me.  We all met tonight and figured out the house situation, and they really are great people.  Christy's leaving at the end of the month unfortunately...  Scott will probably leave in summer...  I'll probably leave sometime between May and October.  Nothing is perfect.  ( Read more... )

Just found out one of my roommates has to move because his probation officer came by and smelled the pot from Christy's room.  Unfortunate cuz he's a great guy, but a reminder of the impermanence of this place.

One project I'm working on is a connected series of short stories.  They are inspired by Faulkner's underrated Knight's Gambit and the ( Read more... )
