I’m back in the Tiny House and pretty soon I’ll be back in my own house, at least from time-to-time. I had a complete meltdown the other night, it was my last night in FOCO and I found myself more depressed than I can ever remember myself feeling. It was honestly terrifying. I felt my […]
I made it through my ten days of isolation and now can join the world again, I’m so ready! So is Micah. I’m nowhere near 100% but I can smell a lot more things now. My stomach is still off, though. Maybe it shrunk in the last ten days because I can’t eat very much […]
Yesterday was not a good day. I thought that being able smell new things would be good for my appetite, but it had the opposite effect. I made chicken thighs in a ginger, honey, soy marinade with rice and bok choy but the smell of it completely turned me off. Add to it some bullshit […]
It has been one week since I suspected I was sick with COVID, a relevant distinction given that “onset of symptoms” dictates my isolation period. That means I have three more days.

I’m sitting in my bedroom. Well, the guest room at The Bachelor Colony, because it’s cold and dark everywhere else. Outside, inside, everywhere.

Tonight I asked Micah if he would like to go on a drive with me.
Beer and axes flying through the air, what could go wrong?
Hot and dry, like a furnace. That’s what the weather has been like lately as fires rage on all across the west. All anyone wants is rain, and lots of it. Something about rain is irresistible. If you are in the possession of male nipples, the shirt has to come off. Summer is coming to […]
I dreamt I was on campus looking for a film class. I was carrying Mr. Bates, my huge cat, in my arms. He was tolerating it but I didn’t know how long he would let me hold him. I couldn’t remember where the class was, which building. It was dark. I went into one building […]
