BECAUSE YES I WILL TUMBL THIS SHIT. And RAIDERS will be on A SATURDAY! Hooray!
HEY IT IS REALLY HOT IN CHICAGO.
Stop being excited that it might hit 90. Okay, I will turn the crank down.
I keep waiting for another day where the whole of it isn’t spent fevery or achey or sleepy or restless or mopey or self-hatredy for not managing to do things right. You know? I mean, what the hell, where does this time go?

Filling the holes this Horoscope Wednesday
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Running in circles will get you nowhere, Taurus. You can focus on all the stuff that sucks, or you can get it together. Slow down and gauge your goals in relation to your actions, then adjust where necessary for best results. (SFBG)
You don’t have to answer to anybody this week, Taurus. You don’t have to defend yourself, explain yourself, or compromise...
Give me a reason to love you. Give me a reason to be a woman. I just want to be...
– Portishead, “Glorybox”
Los Angeles by the Numbers
Cigarettes bought: One pack Marlboro MENTHOL lights.
Cigarettes Smoked: That whole pack. In five hours. To be fair, between two people.
Money spent at divey, divey lesbian bar in the Valley: Too. Much.
Beer consumed on this selfsame eve: 6. (Post two in the pregame).
Animal Style Cheeseburger and Fries inhaled: 1.5, an hour before boarding. Oh god, the Umami.
Wardrobe Pieces from Venice Beach Goodwill: 6. Two pair jeans (one pair of LUCKY dungarees, YOU KNOW IT), four t-shirts, one queerdoe vest. And did it ever get me the ladies.
Times listened to bitchin' mix CDs: Many.
Times I realized that change is often pretty necessary and that it ain't worth it to be too hard all the time: so often. Still counting.
(Best Idea I've had in a while, yessir).
God, palm trees still make my heart skip.
Always too early for the airport. Say hello to bad phone camera photos.

Head out that way Horoscope Wednesday
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
The key to your well-being this week is timing, Bully LaBull. Don’t focus on three steps ahead or you’ll miss what’s going on right now! Secure your foundations, and then tend to what’s in front of your purdy face. (SFBG)

Patience is just another word for getting old
Fried eggs with crispy bottoms. Weak coffee. Still sniffly, but less pain. Twelve hours of sleep after day drinking officiating weddings. Strangely anxious and hormonal, most likely. Incredible stabby muscle cramps. Fighting urges to call my mother. Wanting to sleep the first day of the twenty third time around the sun away.
Cinco
This time last year I was with FB and Jess aiming for big burritos and bigger margaritas when classes had ended and it was still relatively cool in San Francisco. I think. There were tank tops involved. Too much walking and some bad Spanish. Gigantic chile rellenos.
And nowhere to drink, as it turned out. Mission hipsters everywhere for a mostly Gringo holiday. But so be it. At el Rio there was a...

Happy horoscope Wednesday. You know, not happy...
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Taking control of matters doesn’t mean being a pushy, bossy, busybody, Taurus! Now is the time to find a still place within yourself to assess your situation so you can calmly plot your next moves. (SFBG)
Among the ancient Anglo-Saxons, the month of May was called “Thrimilce.” The word referred to the fact that cows were so productive at this time of...
Things I think that will irrationally get my blood back up. Who knows, haven’t tried them.

-Clearing my Firefox history. Yes.
-Actually finishing cleaning this room.
-Not having so much shit on my desk.
-A six pack. Suck it.
