Life is a non-event if you're just going to sit...
I think I’m doing something. I think I’m doing something right. I think I hope I’m doing something right and I’ll be forgiven if I’m not.

Good Things.
In protest of the past two days of my life, I’m going to say some good things about things I like very much.
1. Come Dine With Me: I’m slavishly inslaved to this show. I love it. I love how right now there’s a very old lady scientist reading her unpublished novel to a group of near-strangers and one is starting to cry. I love the concepts, the hopes and ambitions of all the...

Points of Fashion.
My current point of fashion: making jam. (seriously, I’m obsessed with this twee idea of jarring mushed up sugary alchemised fruit for storage in my non-existent pantry.)
Current points of fashion also include: watching the Castle of Caligstro and falling in love with it all over again, looking at overpriced but lush artbooks in Borders, planning my ultra-embroidered ‘tattoo’...

The Royal Tenenbaums.
A few years ago, The Royal Tenenbaums couldn’t have been anymore aspirational for me. I’ve always felt like I belonged in a family of misfit geniuses. I guess what I got was the same minus the genius part. Actually, no, I even got the genius part only it’s weird and twisted and shows itself as my brother writing stories about lesbian assassins and my little sister being best...
Asaurus Records. →
Goonies never say die but I don’t mind admitting I cried like a little girl when I found out they weren’t going to distribute anymore. This shaped my summer for two years. I hold my lighter up to them.

Thurston Moore, Teen Advice King.
Dear Thurston,…. There’s this guy that I really like. He tells everyone that he doesn’t even like me as a friend, but when we’re alone together we do things that are reserved for people who think of each other as more than friends. What do I do? A friend, more, or less? Huntley, IL The guy’s a jerk. I know that won’t discourage you from liking him, but...

I hate seeing roadkill and every time I do I say a prayer for the soul of the departed animal. I wish animals had more common sense and wouldn’t walk into the street if a car is coming. * We’ve been in love since day one. But now, a few years later, you seem to be losing interest in me. It’s scary. We’re the ones who are supposed to last forever. What happened? *...

It's Omahamite, Baby!
Phase one of my Omaha/South Dakota trip is completed. I’m fairly knowledgable about crappy touristy things to do in South Dakota (HOUSE OF CORN! THE SPILL CANVAS!) but Omaha is mysterious to me. I wish Sufjan Stevens had made an album about it already.

So I left when I was...”
