i don’t know if y’all noticed this, but jupiter and saturn and mars have been visible in the night sky since about mid-summer i think. i can always look up and find them. jupiter and saturn are always close together, jupiter being huge, and saturn hovering faintly above it. of course mars is easy to spot because it’s red in the night sky.

on monday, the winter solstice, jupiter and saturn will align and form a double planet conjunction. the two planets will either be extremely close together or right on top of one another, forming a solid dot in the sky. apparently jupiter and saturn haven’t been this close together in something like eight centuries. that’s insane.

anyway: make sure you go out and look at it! astronomers say this won’t happen again for a long time. and it is not difficult to find where jupiter and saturn are. (planets don’t twinkle like stars, etc.)

and well, you just know i love space and stars, so i had to say something about it here. so yeah!! ☆彡

this country stresses me out. day after day i am just in total disbelief about how breathtakingly stupid this place is

Exactly five years ago I was doing what I am doing right now, which is to lie low in the ghost town where I’m from. It is only temporary. And just like last time, I think I am going completely insane. Updates to follow!

Today it snowed and sleeted. I was inside sleeping. I’ve been doing a lot of sleeping lately.

Anyway g’night~

my good friend mable took these in september when i was in chicago. we drove down to tennessee together after that and walked through a mushroom forest, and then hung out with my dad’s goats. thanks for the pictures, mable. you’re cool.

hello: my name is ryan. i left all my earthly possessions in a storage unit in berkeley and flew to the east coast for a month or two. i accidentally only packed six pairs of underwear and six pairs of socks and literally thirty black t-shirts. this is not a good ratio. nice going, ryan. we’re boned!!

tomorrow i think i’m going to go to the christmas tree farm where i went as a kid, and i’m gonna chop down the biggest tree i can find. and then bring it home and probably watch helplessly as dante jumps on it and it all comes crashing down. he’s clumsy like that, and god love him for it.

ok i’m going to sleep now. bye lol

monty went back to new york. and i went to traitor joe’s to buy a bunch of fruit and talk to my new best friend, the goth girl at the checkout counter.

i miss you monty!! come back soon and we will once again get stoned off our asses and drive around drinking cheap coffee and spooking the squares~

this is a quintessential McCune Text™. i know that when i open it, there will be a delicious ten-paragraph scholarly breakdown about how we, as humans, have lost our way as exhibited by the spiritually bankrupt and appallingly vacant creative media that is, i guess, supposed to mean anything to us lol

let’s face it: movies anymore are just cereal. pathetic stuff!

but i’m glad my friend mccune is in the back bearing witness to it all for the rest of us sinners. i mean, somebody’s gotta!

thanks for your service, man. and no, i am not going to hate-watch the movie that lead to your most recent diatribe. i just can’t stomach that stuff anymore!!
