i dunno, a couple of things i've learned in the past six months, the last six months of two thousand and-ten ( Read more... )

Two of the dogs that belonged to one of the lower sites wandered into our plot one morning while I was just getting up. They didn't see me at first and I startled them when I stood up to shoo them away. The female turned and started to run, but the male made two quick actions: turn to flee, then stand aggressively postured and bark at me. He barked ( Read more... )

i spent a long time in greensboro in purposeful isolation acting with the most fevered self-involvement yet and it was sort of perfect. i also spent a very long time in the mountains very deprived of everything and now that it's over, i have a separate self to examine and learn from. it's 1:16, flight at 8:45, portland again, maryland again, north ( Read more... )
