One Liners
A Richard Brautigan line from a book a good friend gave to me.
Currently, in the thralls of grad school applications and frankly nothing that notable happened the past week. Here are some notes. None of these were necessarily jotted down for other eyes to peruse. They are not chronologically ordered, so do with that what you will. Somethings borrowed, somethings said, and other random two bits.

Screws Loose.
Get a grip.

You remind me of my Dad, but not in a Freud way. In the way you are stubborn and how your ideas and solutions end up proving themselves to be true. You really are an old man.

I have green eyes and a beauty mark and want you to tell me you love me.

None the wiser, but all the sadder.

I swear that the hearse I saw parked inbetween two mail trucks was a convertible. Although a convertible hearse makes no sense to me.

I’ve been listening in the wrong direction
Bite/bit the bullet

Fourth of July:
Came home to find some people sitting around a fire.
One was my neighbor—Jen. She has been living on the third floor for 20 something years.
I found out my building is owned by some Russian orthodox nuns.
8/3/23
There are different kinds of people-the kind who lay by pools while looking at the ocean and think anything with chipotle aioli is to die for. And then there are the kind who don’t eat at family friendly restaurants regularly and hate to tell people where they got their earrings.

Penguin with a gun

“I guess we were too late”- Older Lady with a knee brace at the Dorothea Dix sunflower field (all the sunflowers were dead)

To roast a chicken and then make bone broth the next day
To be considered to have an hourglass figure

I sometimes wish I was 30 because all the 30 year olds I know, I like.
