Memory
In: Dotty's Diner
31 Jul 2004It was my eighteenth birthday. I was working in the Diner as usual, wanting to feel older but disappointed that nothing was actually different or even special about the day.

In: In Memoriam
17 Jul 2004I meant to do this sooner, but my memory is shot full of holes these days. I do remember that I fell in love with Marlon Brando when I was 13 during a re-showing of The Wild One, forever influencing my taste in men and most likely altering the course of my life. It’s all [...]
About this blog
