Hey blog what's new? (PHA #8)

How did I end up with a vat of Coca-Cola on my desk?



Vanity Fair subscription is up. Know I'll renew, but it's nice to know I don't have to do anything. It'll just stop coming.



Borrowed Michael Jackson's Off the Wall from the library. It rocks. How come I'd only ever listened to the first two songs?

Pretty sure daylight saving time messes with my dog's head.

Reminder: I don't need a new cell phone. Mine is perfectly fine. 


Pretty sure this counts as a narrative by now. That's this week's short story, everyone! About 9000 words. 

And what a twist, yes? The guitars turned into children. 

Your ass just got metaphor'd.

Spring spring spring spring spring spring spring please come to me.

Now let's make psychoanalytic conclusions about these on my hard drive:

How to Look Good # 41


"Always a good idea. Now let's examine the details. "

Stevens, The Official Post-Hiatus Apology #7 Representative

Dear Ryan,

Below is your standard comment for any and all future revelations about your past. Please use sparingly.

"I was younger then, and I lived in Ontario."

If at all possible, say nothing more.

Sincerely,


The Ghost of Christmas Future (Legal Department)
