other day i was at david lynchs grave just having a moment of thought and admiration and lookin down at all the flowers, and coffee cups, and two cookies and a coke, and wow it just hits you like a thousand suns that art is immortal. creation is too radiant to contain in a body. we trot across time

Tears also cause typos. When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.

I once had a boyfriend ask me if I thought my cat played a more active role in the household Man-that-i-see-a-couple-times-a—week, you don’t went me to answer that.

Headed to the farm store. I got excited because I heard the familiar sounds of moving cattle… I got closer. Four overweight beings on quads chasing cattle. Modern day cowboys?

So. I was cleaning the goat pen today and there were all these wings. I know spiders and bats don’t eat wings because they have little to no nutritional value. But there were at least twenty pairs. Was someone feasting? Was it a mass death of termites? What was going on?

Let‘s say you embark upon a book club venture with someone. First fifty page moment arrives. You have finished the assignment. It’s been nearly two months. They haven’t. How do you feel?

This is what the goats need fyi. It’s expensive. It’s what the vet suggested. So any bit helps. I also added it to my throne if anyone is feeling extra philanthropic and spendy 😻

For #bandcampfriday I did a book reading. Let me know what you think. „The loneliness compels you to think far too much…“ This is Chapter 56 from my book. This instance happens to be a stream of consciousness writing from 18 year old me. punkrockdoll.bandcamp.com/track/chapte...

This goat lady needs a lil help. The strongyls are back (blood sucking worms) in the goat herd. And I need help with the vet bills. Another $200 & a trip to the feed store for ivermectin. & I already have an outstanding balance. Sigh. I adopted the goats &they came with these relentless parasites.

Well. My name on the venue marquee is one thing. My book greeting me as I enter the bookstore - oh my! That was one for the books (pun intended)! Reading at Elliott Bay was a dream come true.

I have this acquaintance who instead of physically showing up for me. Goes „oh, i thought about coming to that.“ It irks me. Actions speak louder…blah blah blah. But it’s not the thought that counts. The thought makes me feel like a musician a venue wants to pay with exposure.
