I wonder how long this dry dock has been out of business.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska

Today's travel outfit: oversized hoodie from a Dutch Harbor bar, cut-off shorts, and fish scale-covered Xtra Tufs. Plus the little touch of my three-months-unshaven bare thighs. So cute.

So I was like, never explicitly told I was allowed to use this particular computer I’m on, and there’s a lot of noises in the hall outside this office and I keep twitching at each one and honestly, it’s more stress than I want to deal with right now.

Sea day 138 My first cigar was older than me, and tasted like a Black Butte Porter. A fisherman lit it for me, and we all talked over ‘Hotel California’, next to bloody rain gear, on couches held together with duct tape, under a weak fluorescent glow, squinting through clouds of our collective exhales and attempts at smoke rings. The clock read 0100, Anchorage time, and the Bering was calm.

Hey do you think if I send an email to Vans telling them that a certain style of shoes I really really really want has run out of stock in my size and that it’s not fair because I work in Alaska on a boat  and I’ve been stuck at sea and I just wanna spend my hard-earned cash on some yellow and blue checked high-tops, they’ll feel bad for me and get me those shoes in my size?

Because I’m just very bummed right now.
