It feels like a kaleidoscopic breathing exercise.
Another recovery Sunday, and I am a little over filling my blog with accounts of my mania. I woke up today in between two lovely people, and I’m trying to detox and trying to not feel lost, and trying to remember just to enjoy everyone and everything that I have for just as long as I have it. I don’t know where I’m going this year or next or ever or forever. But it is okay.

post- margarita night
So after working my ass off for hours, getting a $75 parking ticket, and having a generally long and shitty day, I came home last night for margarita night but before I joined I got too high to function and then I think maybe made some bad decisions, like downing two margaritas and chasing a tequila shot with a benedryl? And allegedly after that I ate an entire bunch of bananas and also tried, in...

Five Key Reasons Why Newspapers Are Failing →
syntheticpubes:
But the papers weren’t selling the news. They were selling ads and charging a lot of money for them because of one thing only: they held an informal monopoly on a societal convention whereby they deposited those ads—around which they wrapped some reporting, some of it serious, some of it fluff—on subscribers’ driveways.
Part two:
The web doesn’t reward blandness. It doesn’t...

the hummingbird of english prose
Stylists get overlooked whereas experimenters don’t. Sylists modulate voice, tone, rhythm and pace whereas experimenters just keep on asking for attention. Stylists work on you like radioactivity or radon where experiementers do it with a bang. Asked if he experimented, the composer Edgard Varese said yes he did: first, he said, he experiemented, then he composed.

nobody writes in a vacuum.
“I didn’t want to be a writer. It seemed hard, boring, and above all, lonely. As a kid growing up I saw my journalist father at work torturing himself while writing, trying to write, and, worst of all, not writing. He was a famous and successful columnist and editor for “Life” magazine and was in fact a fine writer. Unfortunately, he suffered from a streak of sadomasochism that...

Ever since Bill died,
Hillary has been acting strange, for the past twenty minutes she has been swimming fast laps at the short end of the tank and it is really distracting, I am trying to study for the GRE but I am just way sad, about everything, especially about my poor dead fish and his poor widow, and I have seven dollars in my bank account but tomorrow I’m going to buy a new fish so Hill will have a friend...

Why, he asks, would such a desirable woman have committed herself so entirely to him? And: why this much passion, these urgencies and wants, this blind delight? He decides that it’s not he himself, as himself, his wife desires, but that she simply desires. He thinks he’s incidental to this desire, which is general, un-specific, without object, almost in its intensity and heat, without subject: she...

Kaija: no one can fill the space that heather and the fish occupied in your heart. we are going to get through it together. heather will return to us, one day. the fish, however, will be transmuted into other forms of matter and energy and shall serve other purposes than it did in your life. i'll cook for you at loth and we can drink tea out of my chicken teapot clock, aka teacluck.

my self-esteem is soaring
Wednesday my Chinese mom tells me I’ve gotten “a bit heavier” since she last saw me. Today she looks at me in shock, shouts something in Chinese, and then asks “What happened?!” To which I reply, “Um, what?” To which she replies, “Have you not been sleeping?” Apparently the dark circles under my eyes were especially purple today. Awesome.

growing up undone
Even though the woman is driving me batshit, I do feel I am becoming more and more like my mother. As I age I pick up her tendencies like screaming when people drive too fast, laughing at my own dumb jokes, and telling people how to clean things. I went back to work today, my Chinese mom says I look “like a different person” with my new hair. I am not sure if I like this. I came back...
