Oh my god, I just cut off six pages of my story, and my favorite six pages, at that! It was just, the other thirteen pages were a different story, and I fought that all day. ALL DAY I FOUGHT MY STORY. WHICH IS NOW TWO STORIES. AND BY TWO STORIES I MEAN TWO INCOMPLETE DRAFTS, ONE OF WHICH IS DUE WEDNESDAY.

Current musical obsessions: Fleet Foxes, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Wilco, and Joshua Radin. Also: American Music by the Violent Femmes. Also: Comfortably Numb cover by Dar Williams.

All day I have been thinking about a burger, fries, & a shake. Have I ever actually even had that meal? Probably. Anyway, they are always eating that in the goddamn movies.
