It's unfortunate that I'm a girl. By lady standards, I'm probably barely "mid" lol. But as a man, I'd be the next Pedro Pascal.

Not your typical popcorn flavor.

My playlist has so much good power over me. 💃🕺🧟
Cover of a Here Come the Mummies album which is a pair of black fishnet tights straddling a Frak circus at night. The song is "Freak Flag".

So close, Satan.

Love the festive nurses ❤️

I am wheezing, because I laughed so hard. I have never felt so seen, yet so savagely attacked at once. 🤣
A drawer full of unpackaged hot dogs. The text says "By the time you realize my worth, I'll be sharing my dog drawer with someone else."

The person that refuses to leave, & sleeps overnight in that awful chair next to your bed at the hospital, surviving on vending machine chips, is showing you that they love you.
I think about all the ppl for who have done that for me, my mom, sister, friends, kids. I feel so blessed.

Anyway.

I have my computer, but I can't stop watching MTV Classic videos. Beastie Boys. Freak Nasty. Eddie Murphy. This is the mother lode.

Hospital: Alive with Color.
A fallen leaf faded green in the shape of a heart that is laying wet and flat on a blue metal table. A red blooming Japanese maple tree with green fern underneath. It is framed by a frosted glass roof of rectangles. A red Japanese maple and bright green fern thriving together against grey stone and metal.

Hospital: Black & Whites
Ceiling view of square tiles with protruding circular railing. Black and white. Black and white glass block wall. It looks like ice cubes. A black and white hallway photo with a big fake tree in the middle. One way is the healing garden, the other the chapel. A caution sign is in the middle. Black and white photo of a hospital building using all different kinds of stones. It looks like steps to the sky.

I love the small details in a place.
The old plaster cracking in black and white in the Great Hall. Old metal copper heating units in the Great Hall. The stone wall on grey in the Great Hall. The great Hall in High blue contrast.

Researching & found out legally my kids can stick me in any urn they want, so I've chosen this. Not letting them get soaked for $2k for a jar they will empty out in Okinawa.

I'm actually pretty pumped about it.

Been taking pictures when I can.

KFC restaurants look downright retro scifi. Also, I love old buildings.
A black and white photo of the lit Marquee of a hundred years old theater showing Rocky Horror Picture Show. A KFC restaurant dining room. There's a big chicken bucket light hanging out of the ceiling. This photo is in black and white. A black and white photo of an old street facing a hometown pharmacy and brewery. The focus is on the lights at night. A black and white photo of a brick building at night, 4 stories tall, with round and oval white windows. I love the geometry.

I am overwhelmed by all your immediate support. I knew I needed to swallow my pride & do this, but I held off as long as I could, bc there is already so much need elsewhere.
I will thank all of you personally asap when I have more spoons. I just used them all to podcast about JASON X lol. ❤️❤️❤️

What I didn't want is to be working in a cubicle.
But I needed a better place to podcast. So here we are.
Le' sigh.

It's a lie that everyone has bought into the suburban dream. I want little diverse neighborhoods where I can walk to the mom & pop store or to school. I love little houses that are more than enough & different from each other. I love being part of a community instead of hiding from one.
A street view from an older small town. All the houses are small and 100 years old. There's a former factory on the left made of brick that is now apartments. A church steeple in the distance against a white and bright blue sky.

Some new photos I took. I love lines and the geometry of things.
Black and white photo of hanging light bulbs and chandelier at the coffee shop but the picture is flipped upside down. They look line street lights now. A black metal chandelier hanging from a grey and white blank ceiling. From this angle, it has a lot of contrast and looks like a metal spider dropping from the ceiling.
