robi, “so what does father murphy sound like?”

fabrizio,” they sound kind of like birthday party on heroin. oh wait, the birthday party were on heroin, they sound like the birthday party on ketamine.”

a bath

look at bauhaus exhibition with robi. it is ok.

walk across millennium bridge and get bummed out by “modern” dance troupe “inspiring” the tourist (i.e. us)

look at damien hirst exhibition at the tate. it is rad.

drink too much cider next to the river and talk to fabrizio about quitting music.

drunkenly re-unite lost child with his mother.

walk forever to indian restaurant called cinnamon next to rough trade. eat okra.

go to fancy bar and get yelled out by douchey faux hipsters for not having a reservation and then drink fake absinthe.

find cab with bue and get asked by driver in astoundingly cartoonish london accent, “can i ask you, are you going to a gay club?”

go to gay sex club called… wait for it… yes….. called… XXL!!!!!!!! the drummer and guitar player of XXL (i.e. bue and me) go to gay sex club called XXL. HAR FUCKING HAR!!!!!

do filthy things in the “dark room” with old men.

find another cab with driver who keeps saying he forgot his glasses.

go to bed at 5am and wish i took a bath first.

2/3 of north america makes failures feel especially humiliating

2/3 of north america makes successes feel especially thrilling

respect your own power and so, if you are in the mood, please go fuck something up today and then please go ravish something else.

an old and close friend and i had dinner together a couple of weeks ago and talked about, in a way that we never had, that we think about suicide all the time. his life is truly existentially and materially difficult and he is wondering how much more he can or should bear. i promised my family i would never do it so the thought just sits like a little bat in the back of mind. but our conversation brought these feelings to the fore again. today i went for a hike in the desert alone. it was like nothing i had ever experienced. cicadas were everywhere. it was as loud as merzbow. they kept hitting me in the face and screaming and buzzing. then it would be totally silent. along the path there was a hill that i was gripped with terror not to cross. i turned around and as i trudged back to the van, it made me giggle idiotically to myself, sweat running down into my eyes, that in a primordial way i did not want to be killed by a cougar or rattle snake even though i imagine being in control of letting go of my life everyday.

out now!!!
