Sorry, tumblr. I know you’re tired of me leaving. I’m tired of me leaving, too. I just got some innocent hours to murder. If I come back as that Eat Pray Love lady, you can smite me and the scrapbook I rode in on.

“Oh yeah, your postcard. We have a corner of it. It was lost in the mail and transfered from about twenty different places until it, I mean the corner of it, reached us.”
I sent the literary magazine I used to work for a postcard. It didn’t go very well.

oh god it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much.

john updike is dead. i mentioned him to someone the other day, about how a&p is a favorite story of mine.

When Google can’t answer the questions I have about the plot of “Lost,” I am so upset.
“You’ve got your whole life ahead of you,” he said, and he stopped pacing to stand beside me…”That’s what worries me,” I said. (The Last Samurai, Helen DeWitt)

I see a love letter under the...

I feel ashamed when I haven’t done the reading for some kind of Victorian novel I hate. Last night, in my dream, I had finally read a chapter or two, and I raised my hand to make a contribution. I even wore my hair like the main character. But then...
