When I sat down on the El today, there was a piece of paper on my seat. This is what it said (handwritten): It's okay I understand, this ain't no never-never land. I hope that when this issue's gone, I'll see you when your clothes are on. We'll take your car, Yes we will, we'll […]
long gone lonesome blues
LINKS! CONTENT! BUT MOSTLY LINKS! ALL JUMBLED UP LIKE A MAYONNAISE-INTENSIVE CHURCH SUPPER SALAD!Ramen museum. Yesterday I had a haircut, with a new person at a new haircut place.
