Live Diary.
April 04, 2025 · Original source
Today feels very slow and languid. It's the sun that's starting to boil my greenhouse apartment, maybe. It's the solitude, maybe. Not that there has been that much solitude, even. Just today, really. There’s this, from Virgina Woolfe’s Diary: “what a disgraceful lapse! Nothing added to my disquisition & life allowed to waste like a tap left running. Eleven days unrecorded.” They asked me to contribute to a time capsule. What is the purpose of archiving? When does archiving become hoarding? I skipped over these questions. I answered the questions about Nostalgia instead. You aren’t nostalgic for your phone, I said, or it was something different than that, there was more to it than that. I don’t mean to be so self-effacing. I almost bought a blood thickening potion at The Alchemy Kitchen, but I felt thick blood might bog me down. I felt that this whole potion thing, here, in this situation, was probably a scam. The other girls in the store were carrying Princess Polly Bags. The other potions were things like Build Your Own Concoction: Serenity and Joy. Matthew used to be Enemy Number One, but now he is my friend, and so I make plans to meet him at the April Fools Party tonight. Halfway through the walk to the party I get overwhelmed at the thought of going to a Party. I was wearing my Elene Velez Gray Jacket. I was wearing my Ganni Boots. It was all a bit much, then, wasn’t it? Reroute my walk towards the tip of downtown. That bar that’s way too cavernous, too expensive, full of Internet Superstars and I like it none-the-less. “I went to a party at my friend's house and she's kind of famous so they sent us five million free margaritas,” the girl at the table next to me is saying. It sounds like a quote that is fake, but this is what she actually said. The night turns all sloshy and sparkly. Yeah, it was a lot of fun and then later, the apartment is still a mess and yeah, yes, I have to get out of here. There are certain habits I’ve been struggling to break. I am not bored, I am not thinking that everything that happens here is suddenly stale and stilted and I am not, even, very disappointed in myself. More so, I think I should have left when I had the chance. And then the chance presents itself again and so off I go, then. I didn’t mean to be too self indulgent. It’s not escapism, really. Who said that thing about square pegs and round holes? Anyways, that’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Friday, April 3 Two shows opened yesterday.
