Do you want to watch something pleasant? Not too funny, but lightly amusing on a Saturday afternoon?
Well, here. I give you a video of Christopher Walken teaching you how to make chicken with pears.
keeping a notebook
'why did I write it down? in order to remember, of course, but exactly what was it i wanted to remember? how much of it actually happened? did any of it? why do i keep a notebook at all?'

Frightened Rabbit - ‘The Twist’
I’m so into this band right now, but when they played Seattle on Wednesday I was too depressed to attend the show and opted instead to watch Top Chef and binge eat at the house of a friend.

To do tomorrow.
- Figure out what the fuck to do with that sage and lemon basil.
- Report my passport as lost/stolen and apply for a new one. (It was lost/stolen in January.)
- Write two cover letters.
- Clean my room because it seriously looks straight out of Hoarders.
- Not binge eat, go on a walk instead.
- Oktoberfest!

Here's a dream you don't care about.
Oprah and I were at this champagne bar at Neiman’s where you can also try on dresses and there was this peach one that looked smoking hot on her. Way more flattering than that shit her passive aggressive stylist has been stuffing her into since the start of the new season. But Oprah forgot her credit card at home (I doubt Oprah is in charge of remembering things like the location of her credit card) so I paid for the dress (an $800 check made out to Neiman Marcus) and she was going to pay me back, but she still totally hasn’t, which sucks because $800 is nothing to her, but a lot to me.
(Pretty sure this is stemming from lost debit card/unreturned security deposit-related anxiety.)

Once we became Facebook friends and I saw the sorostitutes you hang out with, I realized we both thought we were slumming it.
(I feel like I should tag this with ‘Dear Old Love’ or ‘Things I Don’t Understand and Definitely am Not Going to Talk About’ to try to round out some sort of joke, but I’m anti-tagging.)

Peter and the Wolf - ‘Safe Travels’
‘This is for you. Not now, but later.’
- Tim: this is how meaningless my life is right now
- i am reading taylor swift's wiki

Conor Oberst - ‘Sausalito’
The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Taylor Swift - ‘You Belong With Me’
This video parallels my life far more closely than is appropriate considering I’ve been out of high school for five years. Looks like Taylor decided to cut out the part where he moves to Africa right after graduation though. That’s fine, artistic liberties, whatever.

The Fly by Leonard Cohen.
In his black armour
the house-fly marched the field
of Freia’s sleeping thighs,
undisturbed by the soft hand
which vaguely moved
to end his exercise.
And it ruined my day —
this fly which never planned
to charm her or to please
should walk boldly on that ground
I tried so hard
to lay my trembling knees.
