  • News Update

    Ford is in Europe and nobody knows why. I had a bunch of people over at my apartment yesterday and it was lovely and warm and I kept falling asleep. Slept heavy last night. I'm growing out my armpit hair because fuck you society. I went with Sam to the galleria today. He was whining and bitching a bunch so I kept trying to calm him down and I think  he actually felt bad for whining so much and even went to the loop with me after. I know that things are bad and not fun at a mall or anywhere in general but if you just try to have a good time or a decent time and not focus on all things terrible it can be not so bad. I always enjoy anything miserable more if I'm with sam because he is a great friend. I tried the macaroni at bread co and it is amaziiiiing! I love it. At the loop I bought a bunch of albums for my Dad and I bought an eyeball pipe for myself which I'm greatly excited for. I wish I had my coach box so I could store everything in there again. I need to get like a smoking suitcase to keep everything together. I saw my aunt and uncles and my Dad was too sick to go. He is so sick he can't even talk. He slept all day. My Dad's favorite thing on the planet of all things is christmas. He said to me sadly when the cold was oncoming "Why do I always get sick on christmas?" and it's true. I think last christmas he had the stomach flu and was barfing the whole time. I got a really cool shirt from inechi. Can't wait to get that tattoo but I gotta wait till I'm outta state ya know. My great grandpa's architectural firm designed the ACT center in Iowa and my aunt louis had another one of his pieces of art that she gave to Craig instead of my Mom which is frankly kind of fucked up. Especially because she literally said "i was thinking about giving this to kari but then decided to give it to craig" and it's like yo, that's her grandfather too can we have like a little slice of his art? My cat has been following me everywhere and sitting on me. I felt really sad my dad wasn't there tonight. My present from my aunt was this crazy giant bowl which I guess I can use food to serve guests? But I like don't really cook. Or have a huge group of friends. It was kind of un-elysian. Otherwise, the gift certificates to all these places just around where I live? Very smart. savvy. An excuse to check out the town. Apparently there is an icecream place down here only open on weekends. I definitely need to stop by there. I ended the night with talking to David which is always pleasurable. We talk about life things. We are both life things drifting on this planet. I'm glad that he is understanding that I am going a bit crazy during this brief period. I love it. Some people are so loving. Others are not. He liked my story about the aquarium in Osaka with the Mom pointing out fish to her kid and declaring "美味しい！” It's nice.
    We talked about Mizuno Sensei a bit too. In the meantime, fish were hurdling away from a soft skinned shark on the television and sponges and sea anemones were crawling all over the screen sprouting buds. It was horrifying and beautiful and eerie at the same time. I feel such longing that I have to cage up, like a man diving with the sharks.
