Dear Diary

You seem pretty happy about it.
But I guess I understand.
How can anyone be surprised anymore?

Whatever difficult thing I am, I won't apologize for.

Creepy guest room. Blue comforter. Looking at a painting and knowing that the models are really, really dead.

Seeing them see
the TRUTH.

Oh, poisoned well of humanity.

"I love you million dollar video shoot."
"Like, what are you even trying to say?"
"This camera is all wrong."
"Pain in sepia pop songs."

I can only think of ways to say that I can't think of a way to say it.

Collecting seeds at the park on the solstice. Harsh noise with a contact mic. Anthotype patience.


09/21/2025

I don't know. That explains a lot. Low effort, weird choice.

Working on a short film but it's at the stage where I can't tell if I hate it or not. Imaginary rave afterparty and/or real hotel room phantasm. Slow progress on everything. Thunder or fireworks? Thunder.

Another downpour. The taxidermy hallway in high school.

Multi-effects looper pedal.

Cleaning. Rearranging.

Confetti 2: Unburiable ("Not ready or not proper to be buried.").

You can see it in his eyes, on the webcam, in the interview.

Peach clouds, mirrored. Bad DJ. I'm tired.

I have a short piece in the newest issue of SCAB (link below).

"Watching words humorless."
"Rabies vaccine."

Fate. It's hot but the sun is low. Leaves are starting to fall.

Mirrors. It's already almost the middle of the month.

I would probably cry if I saw Underworld perform "Rez/Cowgirl" live.

Abstract painters born after... I don't actually know when he was born but I think he moved to Michigan.

Dead musicians on haunted CD-Rs. Ritual music on sacred CD-Rs. Hallways, either way.

Sad disconnect, wanna watch TV?

Cheap sounds. Undecided weather. Cold rain overlay pine tree. Song for highways into sunsets. I can see across two streets and through two yards. I saw seven or eight UFOs and/or mylar balloons.

A beautiful photograph of something ugly.

Sometimes I think about words too much.

Hawks have been visiting the neighborhood and this morning I saw a cat hunting in my backyard.

The word "purchase."

Fear. Patience. Tiresome. Fear.

Guiltless pixels against a wall.

Absolution. Employment law.


09/02/2025

Dizzy from spreadsheets. Thinking about turmeric and time. High NRG and/or freestyle. Amanda Nicole and bottle rockets.

We ran through corn fields. It was probably 50 degrees out. My skin was pink and burning cold. My lungs hurt. It's totally whatever. Her Air Force birthday party, I have no ill will, but it all feels like a teen slasher sorta. Like scrambling the lyrics to "I Hate Everything About You." Friday night lights I never saw. "Some things last a long time."

Dusty forgotten note pads in boxes in the basement. An everlasting moment movie scene. Pitch black tape loop warbles and the wet dead leaves shiver. Field after fence after field after fence. Drudgery ghost in soaked boots collecting shadows. No fire can warm this. No trespassing. The death of twee. Olympia underwater.

Sick of this millennial curse.

The cicadas are loud again today. It feels like my ears are ringing when I go inside.

One of my cameras spontaneously circuit bent itself and then spontaneously un-bent itself. It's an old, cheap digital point-and-shoot so it's not surprising that it breaks occasionally.

A hand holding a receipt and a box of pills.

A helicopter paused in the sky.

Accepting imperfections. Time & light. Unfinished projects. The source material collected.

(Things picking at skin things picking at brain things picking at things atop things picking on things.)

Nag champa memories.

The cicadas are loud this year. It's not even that hot. I saw a big spider on the back door. I saw a big spiderweb in the garden. Tooth ground down and temporary. Curtains dawn.

Hackberry milk.

Dull edge. Dull needle. We saw a lot of butterflies. Polka dot bodies. Why would you kill it?

Eternal verification. Fangs of the New World screwworm. 20 years ago. Police baton.

A terrible idea. Deactivate. It will get worse now.

Honesty, honestly, the world can feel too small. A lack of context ruins the big picture. A very large picture. So big you can't see the edges. Still, the world can feel too small. I'm sure I've always misunderstood the concept of magical currents.

Air purifier white noise/notes. Pollen and insects criss.x.cross. Thistle seeds float together. Strict practice. Solid schedule. Jam packed. No exit.
