oh you silly, silly chicagoans! still stuck in the crutch of winter's despair, barely passing 40 degrees and minimal sun. if only you knew the divine pleasure of arkansas' mid-american heat! my skin still radiates from a day of sitting in pleasant spring temperatures, flushed with the internal happiness which was finally emancipated from months of ( Read more... )

my ambitions of rodgers and hammerstein folly have been crushed. i am living the steinbeck nightmare in midwest city, located just enough outside oklahoma city that a western sunset invites a view of a shadow-cast skyline, which my eastern facing king-sized room at the la quinta does not allow me to see. instead, i am greeted with a glorious view ( Read more... )

i am in memphis and learning about the universe on a saturday night sober because the chinese restaurant i ordered from doesn't deliver beer. also, we're near the airport in the middle of nowhere and i have no motivation to do anything except lie on this bed. i give it about an hour before i start vomiting up potentially grade d kung pao chicken ( Read more... )

well, as i'm leaving prague in less than 24 hours, this journal is going back to sleep for awhile until i travel again. reverting back to the old fucktroid memoirs highlighting the daily grind and maybe a hint of deep poetry.
