Harry F. Gerguson passed himself off as a Russian prince, Michael Romanov, for years. He was ordered deported, but was then released from Ellis Island so he could join a vaudeville act at $500 a week, January 7, 1933.

biscuits and cheese planes and crow calls and cummings

the swallows at the lake are still going ham on something too small to see in numbers too large to believe

the first neighbor i met after moving into this place, he left for an inpatient rehab yesterday. he started crying when he told me what was happening. i knew i should hug him but i didn't want to get burned by the cigarette in his shaking hands. i wish i had hugged him anyway

boba learned how to open one of the treat jars that i keep handy by the couch and i think she gave herself a stomach ache. she has only done it once and maybe i didn't put the lid on right, but trying to do it again has been keeping her busy the last few days

the twins across the courtyard are away shooting a movie and their mom is with them. from the window in front of my desk, i can see their dad and two sisters go a little bit more feral every day

i am in a drone-metal-in-the-woods phase that is as close to a satisfying drug experience as i have come in years

the family that threw the four day wake that i thought was a birthday party are getting evicted, not because of the noise, but because their drunken attempt to release several crates of doves in the middle of a playground resulted in significant property damage. apparently, at one point the minister they hired to speak at the wake called the police on them himself

goddddddd, I found Crime Does Pay last week and I DEVOURED it in a day & a half... it's so so so sosososososo good. I'm going back through various parts (as if it was a physical novel I could open to a random page) and I'm SCREAMING over some foreshadowy parts!! Mainly Mari's first meeting with Sohinki, cos like... wow, I really thought he was just some strung-out shitty lowlife dealer but then he ends up being high up in the Titans... fuck, I love this story so much. Thank you for it!!

AHHH! i’m glad you liked it!! :)))

it’s legit one of the things i’m most proud of ever creating, and i’m so happy that people are still enjoying it to this day!!
