and
i was up all night
i can't even tell you what i was doing
except masking
and picking my face
and washing my face
and moisturizing my face
i'm listening to a scandi noir novel
called the dogs of riga
by henning mankell
it took me a long time to get into it
but then i was thinking i was all in
but
then the author made me totally say
nope nope nope i'm not buying this at all
and i'm back out again
it's the weirdest headspace
i don't think i'm gonna read any more from this author
at least not soon
i may try another scandi noir
but then again
i may not
wow
now someone's car alarm is going off
i really need to go to bed
i love you very much sweetheart
goodnight

also eyes, generally
but the color of your eyes is very unusual
very very cool brown almost a hint of very dark water
hofheinz pavilion was very cool
it's not, apparently, called that anymore
i guess i'm old
they've renamed everything i grew up calling everything
i registered there
i did drop and add there several times
i even walked graduation there
i never saw a game
i think i might have been entitled to some number of free tickets
at least the first few years
it was a commuter campus
and i was for sure a commuter student
working and going to school
i never saw any sports game ever from 1985-1994
i'm trying to remember what i did see
i remember going to hear terry gilliam talk about brazil
i remember going to some blaffer gallery shows
but not what they were
i remember seeing a fair number of classical music recitals
i heard susan sontag talk about aids metaphors
but that was at rice
and i didn't get to see her
because my aunt joan was in the hospital at that time
i went to see her first and told her when i had to leave, and why
but she was very passive aggressive at that time
and made me be late
so i had to sit in the whatever they call it room with a speaker
i heard it
she was pretty amazing
i used to get elevator sick
not for a couple stories
but the hospitals have like a bunch of stories
and i used to beg her to let me do all the errands at once
so i wouldn't get sick
but she always made me do like three different trips
anyway
i got over the elevator sickness
so all's well that ends well, i guess
i'm confident i did more than that
extra curricular on campus
but
once i left for the day i didn't come back
and i very rarely went to campus if i didn't have class that day
so
i really didn't get that movie version college experience
it was mostly classes
and library
i loved that library
my alarm just went off
and i took three melatonin again
maybe tonight i will sleep through
or only get up once
that would be awesome
i have lovely dark circles under my eyes
and i don't usually
goodnight sweetheart
i love you very much

i haven't been talking
and i think maybe you want me to talk
i think maybe i might be a little mood swingy
or really
it's more like
air and water are different realities
and i'm bobbing over under over under thinking i breathe one and then the other
my mother signed an apparently not really binding contract to sell her house to the neighbor
now the guy from the retirement place is AWOL incommunicado
she specifically didn't want to go to the studio today
until last night
when her plans for her friend turned out to be wrong day
and then she wanted me to finish hanging everything today
i was going to go to be early
i set an alarm
i was going to drive myself
i did go to bed between 11:30 and 12:00
i slept super soundly until about 4:00
then could not go back to sleep until 7:00
then could not wake up till 10:30
i thought
i am not moving fast and she's supposed to be here at 12:30
she didn't come till 1:15 and we didn't get there till 2:00
then
then she said she had a mind hive zoom that evening
and we had to leave at 4:00
i'm not sure if she's losing her marbles
or
if she's just slightly more annoying than usual
anyway, it's mostly done
i've been irritable
mildly aggressive, i think
but i've completely changed the novel
it sounded too crazy
too personal
now it's sort of set in the metaverse
or at least a more pumped up virtual world
the main character is (i think) named Lucky
she is a sort of psychic sort of influencer
advice columnist
law of attraction - manifestation coach
whatever kind of thing
and somehow she ends up solving mysteries
i'm still having some trouble working that out
where is the mystery coming from
what is the mystery
but she still has the reality tv girl on the boat
and the girl building the cult in the desert
but
they are friend clients now
they are currently world building elements
but they are mysteries in book two and three
book one is going to center on the No. 5 Muncheee
which is the virtual edible shack
not just thc, every kind of health and mood altering thing is possible
you talk to the avatars
U-me Atchu and Ty[irie]Ne
and then it's delivered to you by drone
but they talk to a lot of people in the area
and they know what's going on
mr sluggo might be virtual
or he might be all in her head
but he definitely leaves her slug trail notes
since it's Lucky-- LVCCI [i might think of something better] LuckE
i'd like to work jack in there mysteriously, somehow
also, is there a funkier way to spell jack-- J@K, J^K
i might change these names
but i feel pretty good about U-me Atchu and Ty[irie]Ne
U-me is small and about half anime
Ty is tall, enby and their hair looks like weed dreds
i don't think i'm anywhere near my right mind
and
i'm not going to be able to be there
but
i do love you very much
