• That last moment of optimism

  

  I drafted this at lunch, but before I could post it, it turns out I am not redeemable after all. So the bottom has dropped out of my world again, but I guess at least that’s finality? I don’t know if I’ll be up to writing much in the next little bit, so enjoy the […]

• Red Book II

  These are highlights from my journal that I kept in my red book in Australia. Obviously, it’s not everything. I was doing a whole bunch of thinking, and no one needs to read all of that. But these are the entertaining highlight parts. Monday, June 19th, 2000 I kept waking up all night and going […]
