last night, for the second time in less than a week, a man said to me while we were having a seemingly everyday interaction… ‘you emasculated me!’
watch out, boys! it’s sparkle the destroyer on the way!

in other news: my hallucinations are returning. it’s been a while since i regularly saw things. what’s new now? constant state of exhaustion. totally a possible contributor. but the’ve changed in nature a bit. instead of cats and dogs ducking around corners now i’m seeing groundhogs loping beside me mid day, and last night while parking i saw a man who wasn’t there. just a guy standing in a long wool coat and bowler hat standing still on the edge of the sidewalk.
they’re still all in my peripheral vision, and thank goodness i’m used to the phenomenon. and thank goodness i’ve got saturday free for lots of sleeping.

Exhaustion can make you see things. I remember once, a long time ago, I went to a concert with some friends. It was a couple of hours away and we ended up waiting in line overnight and then were up all day waiting for the concert. It ended around 11pm. On the drive home, one of the guys suddenly woke up and shouted at me (I was driving) “WATCH OUT DAN! THERE’S A BASEBALL PLAYER IN THE ROAD!!!”
I told him to get some sleep.
Get some sleep
