The joke is that I have journal articles downloaded to my phone and I will talk your ear off about things I've read and I know a lot about witch hunts.

Just watched a car advertising "psychic readings" get a ticket for not paying entry at a national park. 🤌

I noticed myself doing this in speech! I feel like "cost" is a neutral statement of how much something, well, cost. "Costed" is heavier. It's the price you paid and perhaps that price was a bit of a burden. "It costed me $200 and a pound of sweat."

Heard a bunch of boingy sproingy Australian accents in a Tim Horton's and it had the same effect as spotting a rare and beautiful bird. Wonders exist on this earth.

I want Perfume Genius, Angel Olsen, and Sharon Van Etten to form a boygenius style supergroup named something like Gender Wise.

It's possible my mood and perspective is buoyed by finally having found passible corn tortillas in a mainstream grocery.

To a born and raised Texan with living memories spanning from Ann Richards to legalization of bounty hunting abortion providers, Canada is simply full of quotidian wonders to explore.

People say Canada isn't perfect, but frankly I love watching my perfect grey haired boys joyously order Tim Horton's hot chocolate.

Unfortunately the county was asking the state (me) for funds I had influence in distributing. Not allowed to accept lunch! I did it anyway! The tacos were so good!!

It's about speed, confidence, and self-knowledge of your choking limits and gag reflex. It's not for everyone.

Michigan is so strange because parts of it feel so idyllic and/or richly cultured and in other parts you're getting yelled at in a parking lot for, like, eating a French fry the wrong way.

Actually mad about how nice Canada is when its GDP is less than that of Texas. The bike lanes! The people out testing water quality! The fun lil bilingual labels on everything!

Took a friend surfing for the first time and I loved every minute of teaching him, watching him learn, celebrating victories. I would love to be a surf coach.

There's a similar problem in surfing. If you are in the water between the shore and where the waves are breaking, are you: 1) on the outside 2) on the inside It's one way in Spanish and the opposite in English.

Some people really just get to write whatever bonkers thoughts they have on the internet's most prestigious websites, but no one ever wants to publish my article on why I'd support the actual Zodiac Killer over Ted Cruz.

The surf forecast changed and now it looks good for a few more hours. I knew procrastinating was right.

I am on this app because I am procrastinating putting on a wetsuit and surfing. Literally sitting here in my van like a loser looking at a social network where I don't know anyone while the waves get shittier.

Truly a microgeneration. 38-year-olds had brand spanking new Facebook freshman year of college and then had their Moms on Facebook by 2009 when they were living at home during the financial crisis. We're not normal.

Obviously not the point, but I wonder how powerful and effective I would be as a person if I had the power of Ted Cruz's assistants and staff. This day of begging horrible people for money to support a horrible person is very well organized.

I tried to read one of Chomsky's books at age 17, failed, but still talked about it all the time to men who were 2 - 5 years older than me and maybe put it on my LiveJournal page. Cringe manic pick-me girl behavior.

I'm barely into You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue but it is wonderful and satisfying my craving for good palace intrigue that's been lingering since finishing the Wolf Hall trilogy.
