Blarf on the Page: Catharsis up to a Point
In case anyone needed confirmation, here it is: relationship blogging is a stress relief, to some extent. It can also be more trouble than it's worth. Those of you out there who seek an audience of sympathetic readers and validation of your own situation/point of view have probably also learned that there can be unforeseen...

Applying for jobs feels like this.
I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my name
I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that's all
Send it up on fire
Death before dawn
Send it up on fire...

Satellite of love.
Every time I go to the grocery store, I manage to spend $40. Doesn't matter what I buy, in what quantity, or what number of items I write down on the list. 40 dollars. Either my mind is so efficient that it thinks in blocks of forty dollars worth of goods at a time or it's merely a matter of proportion--I consume the same relative...

We smiled and smiled
We smiled and smiled
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climbed and climbed
We climbed and climbed
Foot falls softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We roll and roll
We roll and roll
Help me roll away the stone
Let's here it for career-ending moments in show business.
Out of my mind
And I just can't
take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and
what I'm living for
All I hear are screams
from outside the limousines
That are taking me
Out of my mind
Through the keyhole
in an open door
Happy to find
That I don't know
what I'm smiling for
Tired of hanging on,
If you've missed me,
I've just...

1. Applied for six jobs using three separate websites. Bullshitted my way through half of the applications and spent hours filling out unnecessarily complicated forms/supplemental information, none of which was standardized between company and/or government agency. Big surprise that. I wish I didn't have to sound like Mary Poppins incarnate in writing cover letters or teaching philosophies.

I miss E terribly, but I know it's likely that it will be several more weeks, if not months, before we see each other again. To her credit, she has given me an exhaustive list of places to apply to, towards which I have begun to make somewhat of a dent. In applying I have frequently had to fudge my qualifications by way of extensive...

In writing entries like these, I'm reliving fond experiences spent with E. If they entertain/interest/amuse you, I'm glad. If not, then just ignore them.
E and I headed up to the art house AFI Institute in Silver Springs to watch a French film from the early fifties. The movie, I'll have you know, was mostly cover for what we intended to do to each other....

Two weeks ago from yesterday we were walking hand in hand down Wisconsin Avenue towards the Tenleytown Metro stop. E noticed the beginnings of a security detail. Secret Servicemen dressed in black suits and sunglasses plus other armed guards were flanking a convoy of identical black SUVs. More perceptive than me, she knew that, due to the size of the gathering and the degree of...
