my room during the day

kate giffin— who i met (online) through the keyboardist from deer tick while i was hanging out with him in providence, rhode island in september 2013— came to visit me in november. we had been pen pals in all that time but had never met in person. well! there we are at missouri lounge a whole half hour after she flew 12 hours from canada to california.

i really did say that about ‘spinning away’ during the drive to muir beach, by the way. kate threatened to put on the sugar ray cover and i had a momentary crisis. give me a fuckin break, sugar ray. just freaking stay away from that song, why don’t you. too late now i guess!

thanks for introducing me to a new nightmare, kate giffin!!

orson welles and rita hayworth, who were going through a divorce at the time, but who still liked each other a whole lot

i think about this image a lot

that chiaroscuro light-dark technique

man i love it. i obviously like black and white imagery a lot??? lookit this very website

plus i’m still obsessed with octopi (/octopuses)

and of course THE MASTER HIMSELF, writer / director / producer and star of ‘the lady from shanghai’, orson welles, is the sad shadowy man in the sad shadowy aquarium

we must assume that he devised and framed and filmed this cool-ass shot himself, and so it is very good indeed

thanks orson

i woke up at 6 a.m. to feed dante and saw that i had an email from good ol megan beard. i went to sleep for a few more hours and when i woke up i guess i thought i dreamed it.

well: there it was in my inbox, real as anything!

megan! you beautiful son of a bitch. i’m drafting a truly idiotic response in another tab. maybe you’ll get it soon~

(also: i find it endearing that everyone is always hesitant to call this thing a “blog”, rightly perceiving that i would balk at that descriptor!!)
