from the transformation
"but soon it was clear that she was simply gray now, just that, the way years ago we had to admit that she was simply a tree now, and no longer a girl. but a tree is one thing and a stone is another. there are limits to what you can accept, even of impossible things."
lydia davis
i've been thinking so much lately about being a tree. here is something i was thinking about it from a week ago:
i am only being a tree as an example.
when i become one, you'll know because
my speech will be in leaves and you won't
recognize me. you'll stand next to me calling my name
and looking out into the distance. it will be
so hard then. as a tree, i'll try my best at being
a person. i have a feeling it won't work.
nothing will work. i'll be sent to a tree farm
along with all of the other things that seem like me.

how to of the day:
how to start a jellyfish tank:
Jellyfish tanks must be plain. If you enjoy "aquascaping" then jellyfish are not for you. Decorations threaten the integrity of the jellyfish, literally

an unfortunate woman
some of the best things from richard brautigan's an unfortunate woman:
(there are other great things, but they're long, so these will have to do):
i can't find the exact quote, but something like, i would find cars more interesting if they came with their own parking space.
"also, i am always the last person to know what's going on in my life, but i have a feeling that's maybe the way it is with everybody and belief in self-understanding is only a delusion."
"i don't think it would be a very good idea to fall helplessly into silence and just stand there staring at a photograph of somebody and a chicken taken together in hawaii, waiting to be put out of my misery."

this is a story about a reality star and a swimsuit model

here are some things. i never know about the order. one is a bridge with some ashbery on it. it's in minneapolis. you can walk across the bridge and read ashbery and see the sky and everything goes together so well. the other thing from minneapolis that i've included are some books on the shelf at ikea, but i don't think they're for sale. and then my bathroom ceiling fell onto the floor. and then i gave my rocks a bath. and then i went to the circus.

rb, again
here is something he wrote when he was 17:
i am
not particular.
i like whatever
the sky happens
to be doing at the time.
