taximan took me home for five bucks when i got stranded yesterday and commented on west philadelphia

TAXIMAN "sister, you live where?"
ME "50th baltimore"
TAXIMAN "girlfriend how do you live here? everyone's a squirrel"
ME "what do you mean?"
TAXIMAN "they're all nutty"



it was nice and warm today but i really wanted to be by the ocean. i wanted a salty breeze and a burrito.

i made my mum a package today. she mentioned how she had a hard time finding sage at the market, and how we should go to the mountains together to pick a bunch to sell at her store. so i walked down the street and cut up a bunch of sage to put in a box, and an i love you note in thai. lately i have been cheating because online you can find all horrible pre-written love letters for american or brit men who pursue thai women knowing very little english. so sometimes i use that to write to my mom.

im on the phone with zach right now, and he is in olympia attending this film festival where they are paying for his Bed and breakfast and taximan. i'm so jealous, also he just told me about his new chickens and how he will be starting this chicken blog. i've made an executive decision to be a part of that, and so i must find myself in northampton really really really soon. so excited! chickens! zach and fishing!
