Two days ago I lost my watch. Two days ago I lost my glasses.

Yesterday she left. Yesterday I grew a year and I grew a day.

Today I tried to wash her from the sheets.

* * *I met a stripper. We talked about fantasy books and why we like them. About her favorite character and why. I asked her for a dance and she gave me one. We talked about

um. damn. was that second part fiction? strippers always struck me as so... that one metallica video. but i guess i never knew one personally.

I'm not hopeful enough to write that kind of fiction right now.

Also, the strip clubs in Portland are very arty and classy (because it's fucking Portland). So, yes, I've seen girls dance to such classics as NIN, Tool, and Metallica. But I've also seen a girl dance to Daniel Johnston, a girl dance to a Joanna Newsom remix, a girl who only danced to jazz, and a girl (the one I'm writing about above) who danced to Doris Day. They're intelligent and the way they kill time between sets/hustle for tips isn't to flirt, it's to carry on a sustained intellectual conversation...because that's likely what you're expecting least.

It seems as if your writing has improved but alas your life is still meaningless and contemplative.
