JZ,
I listened to the ep of Snap Judgment you discussed above. Wild.
Further, I remember the stories about the songwriter discussed in that story. He was not a nice man at all. And his son is in bad shape too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
meara, I know that feel. I need to be applying for temp gigs here in IN until I get something more permanent. And I really don't wanna.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I say go ahead and apply, meara.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
le n, I didn't know about his son, but I'd definitely heard bad stuff about him even before that Snap Judgment.
I feel like I can never, ever complain about any of my past breakups again, because that is just a case of the universe conspiring at such an epic level to make sure the poor other guy never got a chance to just forget it and get over it. All of pop culture just kept salting that wound for decades.
I kind of love that Washington is so tapped into the Bay Area storytelling community, and that half the stories are wild tales from places I couldn't imagine and the other half have me saying, "Hey, I know that BART station, I've waited on that corner for that bus, I met a crazy person at that Walgreens too!" It makes me swell with atavistic and totally demented civic pride.

JZ,
his son killed his girlfriend. He's in prison for life I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was on my way to walk halfway home (I take the subway the other way), but saw lightning ahead, so turned around to take the bus. This was an excellent call, as if it had taken me 10 more minutes to get home, I would have gotten caught in the current TORRENTIAL thunderstorm!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It really went right overhead -- lightning had to be hitting right in Somerville, judging from the gapless thunder!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
JZ what/who are you talking to.
My neck pain is coming back on and I'm about to break the procedure lady rule and call 2x in 24hr. I'm not as afraid of her wroth as I am of sleeping upright multiple nights.
Colin's back has gone out, so we had a good long chat, He's very different about his stuff, but good to talk to nonetheless.
If I repeatedly stab myself in the neck to make the pain go away "the voices insisted...." tell my parents I'm sorry for extending their funeral a weekend run in any way.

BANANAS. And apparently there was a tornado warning??

I can believe it!
For those Buffistas playing from outside Somerville, the sun is now shining in my backyard.
