You put your cleanest dirty shirt on then you stagger down to meet the dawn.

When I need to run in my sleep, it doesn’t go very well. My feet have little traction and seem to slip, or my legs are just too dense and weighty to move very fast. Bad news when you are trying to escape villains.

Another testosterone-infused record from Partridge & Moulding. Not one I glommed ontp during my college years, but later during my alt-theater years. It's shame, too because the upbeat tempo and aggressive self-centeredness would have much suited my sophomore mindset.

Recently I have been obsessing the song "I Remember the Sun" which is not actually about climate change and global annihilation, but just a sweet memory of getting the shit kicked out of you by a local bully. 

The air is bad again today. We have all the windows closed. Maybe I shouldn't run. But it's so sunny out.
