i'm in tacoma, apartment scouting again for whatever reason. the landlord is a middle-aged lady, asian, kind of intimidating. the apartment is small and tidy, all clean modern decor and hard surfaces. we have our own backyard, but it's contiguous with the courtyard of a towering hotel complex, ambiguously delineated. it gives me a feeling of ( Read more... )

i drive my parents' toyota sienna to a party that they're hosting at a beach house. at the party, i encounter a long-lost friend. we are both tired and want a nap, which somewhat predictably derails into a long and gorgeous makeout session ( Read more... )

it's been a while. this one is dark and kind of interesting.

twilight. i find myself in a building with a lot of glass walls. for some reason i'm in close quarters with wilhelmina slater and some of her team of devilish schemers. she's hired a new assistant and he doesn't seem very good at speaking up for himself ( Read more... )

young-min wrote a fast punk-rock-like song for christian's birthday. it's slightly repetitive and has mildly amusing lyrics. i'm sitting in some underground bar/cafe listening to him play it along with two new bandmates.

i'm staring with a bit of confusion at the door of our new apartment. it appears to be composed of two vertically sliding doors stacked on top of each other and sandwiching a strip of wood about two feet wide. it makes it seem like we're standing in the middle between two floors of a building ( Read more... )

i'm relentlessly chastising david for his attitude or something - i want him to stop being so passive-aggressively unenthusiastic about things we do together, and i wish he'd stop thinking about me in terms of my former relationship.

(in real life this couldn't be farther from the truth.)

so we make up, and go around filling random plastic bottles ( Read more... )

“you mean you’ve been letting me sit here with a mouth full of caramel, looking like an idiot for all these hours? i’m going to kill you!”
