Chasing Stellaluna around the apartment until she inevitably jumps out at me and crashes the cock-eyed side of her face into one of my legs. She's a little tiger! Shows and music - my all-time favorite thing to do. Writing - hoping to have something to show for it by the end of the year (which year? I don't have to specify). If only jobs would stop getting in the way. Spending hours on end sifting out aspects of my character obsessively; and trying to understand how age or autism has compressed such aspects into this one, well, magic polar bear that types before you today. Depending on the believer, any label will do. My ultimate compression lies in the peace and harmony of being too tired to trip over the individual hanging vines of the accused and lately implicated brain matter. The ice that melts, that runs through is the source of a suggested betterness. But if all aspects are void, what need for invasion. So I can enjoy my interests?
