Watchlearning how to do this is my new year’s resolution.
bought a duke ellington cd today that i’ve been listening to non-stop since i got home. other good finds at mckay’s today include a collection of poetry by elizabeth bishop, the “automatic” album by jesus and mary chain, and an anthology of american short stories about love (but mainly because i wanted to read the joyce carol oates one). i spent the majority of my night...

on my bed drinking a gin cocktail (mango juice, raspberry lemonade crystal light, gin), eating peanuts, listening to best coast, and about to start another season of daria. i went to my socially awkward dentist earlier today who still thinks i go to school in new york city and that i’m some star musician in the school band. today i told him i was majoring in neuroscience, and he goes,...

ignored my murakami novel today, and instead i spent the day rummaging through my archives of tumblr posts and my facebook timeline history. i’ve become progressively more boring throughout the years, and my former personality has become almost, in a way, diluted. i’ve lost a lot of the angst that i’ve previously held onto, and my memory has been impaired (probably from various...

i’m coming back to chattanooga in a little over twenty eight hours. there’s so much that’s changed since i’ve last been home. every time i return, i feel a sudden displacement, an almost lost in translation-esque feeling, a slight yet protrusive discomfort. i don’t recognize my own town sometimes. apparently, there’s a new venue, track 29, our little, homely...

aequinoctium:
Fast forward ten years. The first thing you will notice is that you are taller. Not necessarily farther from the ground, but closer to the sky. This may at first be dizzying, especially if you never learned how to breathe. Practice. Meet your lungs. Take note of the way your skin fits, how your…
