it wasn’t really a date.
-drove to Cedar Rapids to see Atom Egoyan’s Exotica, which of course wasn’t playing in Iowa City and Mark’s car was in the shop and my Ford Escort was working fine and when he told me about it I said “I’ll drive, let’s go”.

Now don’t we all feel better for knowing?
The dinner I made last night, ready and waiting for the husband as he walked in–well, he took one look at it, frowned, and made himself a sandwich.
The other morning (in the waking sleeping times of morning) I dreamt I was talking to Barret Oliver, who played Bastian in The Neverending Story. He was part of a comedy troupe I was auditioning for. I was telling him how much the movie had meant to me. I said to him out loud “Please, [...]
