1.) Just because the lines on a map are useful in a transitory way, that doesn’t make them real. Most of the things the lines represent are made up too. The roads and the buildings exist, of course, but the lines that divide them are just lies to provide people with power.

2.) Dad and I would see every superhero movie together at Valley Cinemas, whenever we were both in town. I’d spot names I knew in my former L.A. life in the credits and we’d both explain the Easter egg references to the other people in the house. Norse mythology, who “Essex” was in the X-Men universe, etc. It’s just on me now. I hold to my commission. Black Panther was really good, by the way, if a bit of a long sit. I don’t know where the 15 minutes were that needed to go but I’da tried to find ‘em in post.

3.) Slipped on the ice, looking for the cat in the dark winter night. Cut up my hands and wanged my upper back good but I took the fall pretty well. I chalk it up to my two days of pro wrestling training in college. All I remember is how to properly take a fall.

4.) Is there anything funnier than how people use “normal” knives in infomercials? “RAAAAAH, I’M GONNA SMOOSH THIS UNTIL IT BECOMES TWO THINGS!” If you know anyone who cuts like that, please, take away their knives, for everyone’s good.

5.) The nightmare last night was about finding out that my college graduation didn’t count, I had two or three classes to make up and, while trying to do that, I lost my car and my credit card on the streets of Syracuse but it was also kinda L.A. such is my mind these days.

6.) I think I’ll be ready to re-join Utica Poets Society again this week. 83% certain. I miss those humans and their words too much.

7.) Trump vastly prefers the Summer Olympics to the Winter ones, what with all the watersports.

8.) Always carry around a robotic dog with a man’s head arms and torso where the head should be, just in case someone ever asks “Is there a doctor in the house?” you can release it and then claim you heard them say “dogtaur”.
