the first building block of civilization

hand mostly healed, hot water restored, cough and fever receding, i am happy

after four months in the pocket of my raincoat

we developed our own economy, waiting out the rain: beer for fire and conversation for wine

mark goodwin was pretty sure he had life figured out, and i cannot think of a convincing counterargument

i got a broken face

ah ah ah ah ah ooooh

apparently this is why my hand wasn't getting better very quickly

no good news in this chapter

i had to initial my signature today. it was weird

it was really only a matter of time

as ambivalent as i am about the record industry, these guys have done right by me

two by two

that sound was apparently water filling up the storage area, while cardboard rafts carried old letters to varying degrees of safety

i've got a really good heart, i just can't catch a break

it's always so fleeting
