Adventures du jour! As per usual after a big trauma barf, stuff shook out. This was a very thinky day. Yesterday: Talked to a friend with a black sense of humor. I think she was worried about unleashing it on me; it’s been a while since we talked. By the time we were done talking […]
Adventures du jour! To sum up: rough patch but it got better. Yesterday I got what felt like inextricably stuck on the book and decided to write a letter to a friend instead, about Bad Ex Stuff to someone it felt okay to tell it to and who’d said okay. (Thank you!) It took a
Adventures du jour! Ugh, last night was the kind of restless night that used to drive me outside for long walks that went on for miles.–In Vemillion (South Dakota) I used to walk out to the river in all weather, or rollerblade; in Iowa I used to take this defunct set of train tracks out
Adventures du jour! It feels like my brain’s gonna melt early today, so I’m gonna jot some things down before they’re gone, then call a friend and go read books. If the hormones give me a break I’ll write; otherwise I’ll just weather it. Last night I tried to listen to a friend’s video and

I’m not getting Lizzo underwear ads anymore, just boring clickbait ads. I feel like this could make a good extension of the Midjourney AI experiment. What prompts should I use in Google to get some interesting ad results?
Adventures du jour! After running across such upsetting thoughts about creativity and success yesterday, I shouldn’t have been surprised that more trauma and other junk shook out last night and this morning. Writing went okay, but I hit mental capacity again. I wrote a couple of hundred words on stuff I knew wouldn’t work (so
Adventures du jour! French onion ramen accomplished, and it was magnificent. MWAH. I typed up notes for my fellow food nerds, which are posted on my FB timeline and on the blog (in comments). I got tickets to Hadestown! There’s a theater in Tampa that gets a ton of shows, and they’re starting up again
The Lizzo ad algorithm project. The good part of looking up clothes for one of my characters is that I get goth clothing all over my Facebook feed. The weird part of looking up clothing for one of my characters is watching the algorithm go, “Hm. She doesn’t like *these* pieces of clothing, so let’s
Adventures du jour! My friend Jamie’s dog Jasper died yesterday, a dog whose presence runs through the hearts of everyone who met him and got seduced into throwing just ooooone more ball. My heart hurts for her and Mike, and Rosie (their other dog) too. Jasper was the kind of dog who reminded people how
