Big long list of activities

WHAT I DID Saturday, April 26 I have decided to become myself again. The notes of the past week aren’t quite so indicative of this undertaking. I tried to spin something out of nothing, but there are too many pieces all ravelled up amongst themselves, and the most interesting story of the week is not even one that is mine to tell.

WHAT I DID Saturday, April 26 I have decided to become myself again. The notes of the past week aren’t quite so indicative of this undertaking. I don’t want you to read them. I’m sorry. I tried to spin something out of nothing, but there are too many pieces all ravelled up amongst themselves, and the most interesting story of the week is not even one that is mine to tell. Big long list of activities - Domino Reading Series at The Old Pyramid club and Gideon Jacob’s play at Earth and Le Dive for dinner and Clandestino for drinks and going to class and then calling some hotels and then I did go out again; KGB for Meg Spectre’s comedy show then to Seward Park and Clockwork and Ten Bells and the parked van where they were throwing the party. Dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday; a house party and The Commerce Inn and the screening at The Roxy of The Code and then sushi with David and Ruby and Liam. I came home after that. And this is one way to describe a life. Short and sweet and holding my knees tight to my chest and I do not want to tell about the things that happened in between. Usually, my issue is I want to tell far too much of it all. I’m like… fanning the fucking air around me feeling pretty desperate to create some motion, distance, think about time and space like the cracked tunnels in the blue goop of an ant farm or like in sand and then I flood it all with water. Whoosh. Nothing ever happens.
