“Throw away your phone.”
An albatross’ corpse, revealed to be holding a stomach full of human garbage. It died of starvation.
I rode by a potential suicide at 16th & Valencia. The man was talked down after about seven hours.

I have trouble sleeping, contemplating the meanness of this world. I am reminded of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Gimpel the Fool.


NO WAY OUT BUT I GOTTA’ GET OUT
(in theory) Going halfway around the world and back again. Four months and counting.
I remember a time when my moral convictions were much more clear cut.
You leave the Rat Room but the Rat Room never leaves you.

Got in a brief verbal altercation with a jogger pushing a stroller in The Panhandle today. What is up with people jogging with babies?
On an unrelated topic, Atmospheric Disturbances is really good.
& another one:
I discovered my scanner had contracted some sort of strange electric disease this morning. Fluids leaking, chemical smells, etc. No more photo or drawing scans for a while I guess. Maybe I should have picked up that warranty when they offered.

Jungle Pat washes up and marries off all the animals on the continent, claws the ground, eats sand and twigs and fish off the shore.






Three days in the North Bay. First time out of SF for that long in months. I got called a ‘faggot’ on my bike in Napa. A guy at a restaurant downtown there accused me of climbing on his roof. I hadn’t been. I had been on his neighbor’s roof. Body or Brain played in Petaluma. Robert gave me a ride there. Some really shitty bros were talking about wanting to ‘bang’ a bunch of the sixteen year old girls hanging around outside The Phoenix. When I mentioned hearing this to Jakey he replied “Man, I don’t even hear conversations anymore.” Good call. At some point I watched music videos on demand using the Comcast TV service that my mom subscribes to. There was a No Age video and Millionaires video, things I had hoped were confined to the internet heap.
I cut my hand on a jagged metal can.
I gave a dog sticking it’s head out of a parked Hummer H2 some water.
I read some parts of Nexus that I like on the loading dock behind a Whole Foods.

-You can’t tell but Jakey’s Ked’s have American flags on them.
Hopefully I’ll make it to the Folsom Street Fair before work tomorrow.

Pretty lazy flier. Whatever. Go to the show. It will be fun.
