I had a dream last night where I had a pocketful of powdered drugs that spillied everywhere while I tried to hide the fact that I imbibed some of them from the people around me.

Overall, I think the dream summed up the feeling of being drug-dependent fairly well.

It’s true for a number of people, enticed by “the American” dream; who get here and realize: this is it? I’ve made a terrible mistake.

Man, early 30s maybe? But I took a fucking drubbing in my late teens and twenties. I was the picture of naive.

They gained the satisfaction of 'winning' and the knowledge that they helped murder and jail a lot of brown and black people, and some white people who sided with those people. And they got to be openly racist without repercussions. And they got to take away women's rights.

Sometimes I think that Chris Eccleston quit Doctor Who because he thought it as too silly so that he could persue more serious roles.

Then I think of Matt Smith and David Tennant who embraced the silly and afterwards used their Who fame to act in serious dramas.

They're gonna have some blood stains. They're not going to look like they just came out of the factory. If we're in complete meltdown, washing your clothes in a stream, or a lake isn't like drycleaning. They're going to be worn.

IF you got a show set in na post-apocalypse, drag the costumes through some dirt. I don't care what your reasoning is, take those costumes and scuff them on some cement for a couple days.

Clean clothes don't make no sense, and it immediately takes me out of the story.

Why have a holiday then? When the only people not working are in government.

Burn in Heaven is the best song title I've hear in a while. If you like The Cure, you'll probably get a kick out of Traitrs.

I'm sorry, but I'm not making art that doesn't have some sort of political undertone in this day and age. I won't. And that means it'll probably be difficuly to get published, but whatever--at least I can live with myself.

Afro-Cuban jazz kind of night. As I write my essay from the couch on a Friday night. Old people returning to academia type of shit.

This is why I'm so far ahead in my courses.
