A Week in the Life
what this is: last week, maybe the week before, I don’t know, I had a lot to write, so figured to keep myself somewhat on-task by making myself log down what-all was going on. this is that—closing down files, found it off to the side. just added the images and stuff. and, to be sure,
The Art I Need
is mostly, it looks like, gags on tv and in movies. But it’s so perfect, yes? So wonderful. It makes me feel, and, isn’t that what it’s about? And, the poetry I need: And who knows, maybe the exact seahorse unicorn pegasus zebra I need for a first tattoo: /end
