to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”

HEY STEVE NIEBAUER

HEY STEVE NIEBAUER DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HELP ME MOVE ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER? I know you’re in the DR, but I also know you’re checking your tumblr. I mostly just want someone to help me pick up the truck and what not since I haven’t driven in a coon’s age. That’s right, a coon’s age.

“As I was purchasing the gift that I sent to you today, a production manager from one of our other plants said to me: ‘Are your kids flaming liberals? It would seem so from the gifts you bought them.’ I replied, ‘YES, they are. I brought them up correctly!’” —my dad, in an email to me, teasing me with a mystery gift that I am now extra excited to receive.

adventures in working retail

You know what’s funny? When I ask (because I have to) people for their email address at check out, while they’re on their smart phone and tell me they don’t have email.

I’m not saying I give mine out either, but some dude is holding his iphone, mid text message and says that he doesn’t have an email address.

What?

Also, I’m getting trained to do shelving and such (Yay! It’s so fun! And I like it!) and people literally come up to me and other people doing this kind of work and say “I need this book and it’s about white people and the cover is blue.”

What?

Regardless, this is a pretty okay job.

“She knocked me out. I mean it. I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can.” —Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Interview on Dublin radio, 2004 Sufjan Stevens

Interview on Dublin radio, 2004

Sufjan discusses Seven Swans, the Danielson Famile, and Christianity.

“I had been out of Michigan for about three years and probably was just being sentimental, you know, looking back, surveying my life, thinking about things, thinking about my family, thinking about the geography of Michigan, and kind of missing it in a way, and mythologizing it.”

-Sufjan Stevens

“I want to be your wingman! Though, I think I would be the worst wingman ever. I’d be like, ‘Hey, this is Sam. She’s awesome. If she were playing in Oregon Trail, she’d shoot many bear and be able to carry at least 100 pounds back to the wagon.’” — infinitezest

in which i have the secret

From what I can tell I have learned the most crucial necessities to want to be in publishing:

01. You must love to sit.

02. You must love to dress in layers. The more the better.

03. You must understand, utilize and respect the power and necessity of the binder clip.

How has no one hired me yet? I’ve got these things on lock.

All I need for the rest of my life is the mental image of Carrie Brownstein’s high kicks and windmilling her guitar.
Wild Flag, I love you.
