i heard your call but i was spitting up blood


pictured above is the fine meal i constructed with kevin and matt last week. a homemade pesto on pasta with a fresh salad and some baked bread. many of the vegetables were fresh from the farmer's market. but before you start complementing me on a healthy diet, please note the whiskey and coke offsetting the meal. both things were delicious. those guys are good to cook with, and maybe sometime before the summer is over we'll get another opportunity to combine our culinary talents.

but for now i've left kirksville and it feels relatively strange to be back in my hometown. i've moved into a different room of my old house, mostly because i find it impossible to sleep in my old room. after finally getting everything situated as i desired, i'm actually pretty content there and i haven't left much. i finished reading "fathers and sons" by turgenev in two days, and i've been taking most of my meals up there in solitude. i've been listening to a lot of music. animal collective just blows my mind.

speaking of my music tastes, apparently i've become an "indie-hipster kid" over the past 4 years. i ran into some friends from high school, and they let me in on this fact. when the fuck did this happen? and why was i so oblivious? i guess the vegetarianism, obscure music tastes, and ironic wearing of jorts should have at least raised some flags in my mind. god damn it. oh well, too late to do anything about it now.

it's lonely here.
