Blocked Stephen King and Mark Hamill in one day. Give me some Led Zeppelin stans for a side dish. Oooh, wait, no, second-stage Neil Gaiman fans, I've been a bit constipated. They should get the mail moving after I eat two or three of their faces off. 🤣

IRL. Founding Honkies: "Oh, this is just fascinating. Just fascinating. Tell me more about this 'bitcoin.' Hey, Thomas, he likes 'em young and disadvantaged, too. He's mad crackerish. He's LIKE US." 🤣 You can go ahead and block me. America was evil when the first slave ship dropped anchor

Talk. "Run Away to Mars." Matt Maeson. "All My Wars." This song. All three, at different times, playing twenty feet away when I realize I have mastered something at my job that makes me look to another person as though I am performing sorcery. I am. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrTz...

Re-rewatch of Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai." Following the American version. It always hits my heart like a cinderblock made out of work-relevant things. "Yeah, what the hell, I'll drive your hearse for ya.." 😭

New tenant:"Well,sorry about your MS." Me:"I'M NOT. There was this great comedian named Bill Hicks who got pancreatic cancer and learned to see it as a gift,because he could say anything he wanted in his act.That's me with writing. With bouncing. With...me." Stops because my eyeliner is running. 😭

My sweet girl gave me the nicest Valentine anyone has since 2014.2014: a gutterpunk girl with stars tatted on her cheeks was handing out Valentines on the street to single people, which said YOU ARE LOVED. I kissed her on both cheeks and cried. This year's Valentine is even more mythic

BAKED. I couldn't even get through this whole joint. Thirty-dollar ounces of bud that do this to an MS patient, just north of Lombard Fred Meyer. Oh, look, they used the one I go to for the ad. www.thedimestore.net

Most people don't have jobs that induce capering, cackling, wild glee, hunger that will scarf a whole pizza and an urn of coffee, the kind of stories that people *tell just watching, like Oh damn that dude just and then the oh damn. I am grateful for my vocation, which I still can sorta practice
