Right now is Pandora kneading my bicep, and purring along to Dirty Three, and snorting when she forgets how to breathe and purr simultaneously.

The girl in the next apartment is bawling her eyes out again. She does this pretty frequently--last night was my turn, today it's hers. I have a sneaking suspicion we cry about similar things but neither of us ever acknowledge hearing the other ( Read more... )

Home upgrade: A girl is really interested in subleasing my apartment, so it's entirely possible that next month I'll be moving into Brandon and Dieneke's garage studio after all! It's really exciting because it's going to save me a bunch of money AND it's way way way bigger ( Read more... )
