man . . . i’m starting to think i have a severe vitamin D deficiency. if my hero GRITT CALHOON were here, he’d say i look paler than a ghost’s dick in a paper factory. i’m always pale but this seems worse! i experienced this once before when i lived in portland, and it made me feel really bad. maybe i ought to do something about it. as i recall, taking supplements back in portland did help. well, OK then, i’ll buy some of the damn stuff and see what happens . . .

this is something that is not helping: i have zero curiosity about oakland anymore, and so i’ve stopped bothering with it. i have black-out curtains on every window in my house, and i never go out during the day. i think i see the sun maybe an hour total a week, mostly after 7 pm, when i sigh theatrically and leave my apartment to go get groceries. and even then, i’m dusted to the eyeballs in SPF 50, and booking it to get to traitor joe’s . . . so it’s likely i’m getting essentially zero sunlight?? They Say fair-skinned people are five or six times more efficient at making vitamin D from UVB rays than people living on the equator, and i believe it. even still, i think i’m being absolutely wrecked by a severe lack of the stuff

ANYWAY: yeah. i’m writing a little baby post about hanging out with my buds in oakland and LA, and there are pictures of me, and you’ll see how pallid i have become. oops!

emma seemingly has an endless supply of dante (the poet) stamps and memorabilia!!!

thanks emma~

ok well, look . . . i was wiped out all weekend, but i’m still writing up a little thing about my friends. also, for god’s sake, it has been such a bummer to be back here in oakland. i wish i were in some creepy little town in the middle of fucking nowhere with them, is what i’m saying!
