long time no see el jae
[but what’s been up man?
How’s your daughter?
Guess what - I’m out to be a father.]
The phone’s fucked and it’s really quite irritating, but on the plus side, neither work nor fucking telemarketers can call me. Self imposed exile.
Well no, not exile, seclusion [or pingitan as our Indonesian friends say, but that’s more the custom of no-contact-with-boys-until-you’re-married; same deal. Shutup.]
I had a point.
Spent the last couple of days making some new shoes [they even have shoe bling! … SHOE BLING!] and I love them; also sewing some summer apparel. Reading a multitude of Mills And Boons, and my god - have the writers never had sex?/only seen sex scenes you’d expect on Buffy?; fo serious, they make me laugh so much. Similarly I find myself reading a lot of Jane Austen, no sex scenes there though, and Interview With A Vampire.
I read Anne Rice’s Queen Of The Damned a few years ago; I remember it being long and haunting. Interview With A Vamp. is similarly haunting, and fucking terrifying I’m about halfway through and I can’t enter dark spaces without palpitations. It doesn’t help that Steph[ve] resembles a vampyr, but yes, enjoyable, however much it restricts my ability to sleep.

Chad Krueger and Santana have paired up to create some monstrosity resembling a song [if you squint]
Chad Krueger is obviously trying to alienate society from any form of musical enjoyment.
