  • Giant Squid

    I've been spending a ton of time in California lately, probably more than I have in the last decade. But I don't feel any more connected to it than I did when I lived there. Sometimes, I just stare at people blankly, l…

  • Friday Miracles

    Friday, I drove into Los Angeles with my parents from Las Vegas. In a sandstorm. There are a lot of things that are funny about this, namely that, as expected, it turned into something out of a "Vacation" movie. My pa…

  • Little Santa Monica

    Tink came to town this weekend, and that was a joyful thing indeed. I am usually a good planner; good at having guests, but this weekend, things just weren't quite seamless. For instance, we were supposed to have a gir…

  • Passages

    I don't know if it's the weather or what, but I am feeling sort of run down--mentally, physically--today. It's not like I've been doing anything that taxing lately (except for traveling up and down the eastern seaboard,…

  • Deferral

    I was talking to Tintin tonight.He had googled himself, and was reminiscing about his childhood neighborhood swimming records. He couldn't shut up about them."Tin, you have to stop. You're going to drive yourself mad."…

  • Bleach

    We went out on Friday for my birthday. It was great fun, and we got to see friends we hadn't seen in forever. Shred and Cheese also brought me a Neil Diamond album, and a 36ct box of Shittles, which was, in short, *ama…
