I’m getting this out early because have absolutely no time to have fun or be interesting tonight!!!! I have to read my tape logs, playback the tape until I want to take a flying leap into the Salton Sea (I already do), and script a rough draft of my entire story including transcript of the clips for workshopping by 10 am tomorrow morning.

I am not a night owl, but I have to be one tonight. Hoo. 🦉

I told my friend Joe I still had to get the newsletter out and he said, “Just promise everyone handjobs and you’ll be off the hook!” So in the spirit of that, I’m doing a halfway giveaway! But think more stickers and other wood pulp ephemera as opposed to sexual favors.

SoOoOo, the first five people who respond this newsletter with their name and address (because they don’t think I’m a stalker slash serial killer) will get a little treat in the mail after this is all over. And who knows, maybe more than five if I clean out the corner store, so say Hi!

The plan after getting this out? A veggie burger no mayo, fries, a hot shower, and parking my caboose at the kitchen table with Jenny, who is working on a pod and not our assignment because she is a professional. Smokes ciggys, the whole deal. And NO, I am not picking up smoking while I’m out here. So many concerned emails about that! Thank you for caring about my baby lungs!

What else, what else. I had something. Boop boop boop. I had five espressos today. Did absolutely nothing. I ran into Sonia our landlord and she asked me for any feedback or improvements needed on the house and I told her it’s 2026 so we need wifi and the showerhead sprays like a five year old boy who doesn’t know how to pee in a straight line yet. My left year is really clean, but I’m not sure about anything else. Last I knew she unscrewed it and took it with her to soak in some vinegar. So there might be no showerhead because of me now. Just a stream of water as thick as a garden hose falling on our heads. Which I would actually prefer because I need to wash my hair. It’s is starting to look like one of the art pieces out here.

Is my burger here? I think my burger is here. Catch you all on the flip flop. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway, and thanks for being there for me! 🩷
