i don’t like people, so they often die in my stories.
i’ve posted a new story, skin buzzards. laura (did you know we’re engaged now? since january.) said it reminded her of the crippled scholar. this is ludicrous, as the first is about a specific type of buzzard and the latter is about flies. i think she only pretends to read my stories and says she loves me for my collection of books. for shame. [when laura read this last paragraph she took a small pipe and beat me with it. when i came to she told me i had to make a note explaining that i was only kidding. so i am. -ed.]
“I give [the watch] to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.”
-The Sound and The Fury, William Faulkner

hahhaha…that’s why you write. you are “god” in your own little world. Your words are power. You write, describe, portray, paint whatever you want to…everything is in your own hand.
congratulation on your engagement! you are one of the lucky ones!
and as usual, love the story. great imagery, remind me of nobokov!
I have liked Cash for years. Go get his ‘Unearthed’ 5-cd collection. Well worth the money. It’s a great compilation of some of his best stuff, plus some unreleased tracks.
cringe-worthy imagery on the first story, not in a bad way of course.
1. try this trick and spin it. yeah. the pixies. “where is my mind?”
2. im inside your mouth now, behind your tonsils, peeking over your molars. youre talking to her now. youve eaten something minty and youre making that face that i like. regina spektor. “ode to divorce.”
3. oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight. the indigo girls. “mystery.”
4. pick out some brazilian nuts for your engagement. check that expiration date, man- its later than you think. pavement. “we dance.”
5. between one june and september, youre all i remember. the promise ring. “forget me.” its actually a really good song, even if it sounds way emo.
6. maybe she’ll take me to france. maybe in spain, she’ll ask me to dance.
7. i keep falling over, i keep passing out, when i see a face like you. radiohead. “blackstar.”
8. whenever i breathe out, youre breathing in. modest mouse. “positive/negative, or, whenever i breathe out, youre breathing in.”
9. i want specifics on the general idea. i want to think what i should know. i want you to do me what to show. built to spill. “car.”
10. stop the bus! i want to be lonely. ben folds. “jackson cannery.”
11. i mouth my silent curses at you. i can see my breath. i hope the stars dont even come out tonight. i hope we both freeze to death. the mountain goats. “family happiness.” my first mountain goats song.
12. love is old, love is new. love is old, love is you. the beatles. “because.”
13. i want to arrest you. i want to scream out loud.
14. backwashed thoughts; you made me talk- no. you made me listen. theres a feeling from ada to irene: theres something, theres nothing you havent seen. built to spill. “kicked it in the sun.”
15. and so i drive straight up i-5 to let you know im still alive. ozma. “baseball.”
16. i wish it was last september. ben folds. “emaline.”
17. i just wanted to be good to you, but i found i was disarmed by a lifetime of disillusionment and the distraction of the stars. mirah. “we’re both so sorry.” shes great. youll like her.
18. youre just a habit. like saccharine. simon & garfunkel. “overs.”
19. sing a long, long winded song. i would be content to hum along. the get up kids. “my apology.” also a very good song that sounds emo. actually, its just a really good emo song.
20. at 10, i shaved my head and tried to be monk. i thought the older women would like me if i did. weezer. “across the sea.”
21. two headed boy: she is all you could need. neutral milk hotel. “two headed boy pt. II.”
