After four days and, like, forty three episodes, I am now up to date with Parks and Rec.
#29, a sense of gratitude
Earlier tonight, I found a blog post an old friend wrote. We’ll call her Rose. I called Rose my best friend and even lived with her for a little over six months. When we stopped being friends, we stopped being friends hard and loud. I’m still trying to recover my sense of vulnerability in my current relationships (and hell, in my life in general) largely because things ended so painfully with her.

Monday accomplishments (a list, by Zach Preiksa)
- sold shitton of books at half price books, got $28 dollars for them (holla!)
- walked to the menil, only to find out it was closed. fail.
- met up with katie and drove to the museum of fine arts houston. found that’s also closed. fail.
- took the metro rail (which i found out is called the red line too) into downtown.
- got off at the wrong stop, but decided to walk to discovery green.
- stopped into books a million, where we did the same thing i do with every friend i go into a bookstore with: read the first and last lines of random books off the shelf.
- also had her read the first few pages “out of body,” my favorite story in goon squad. she became a fan. (yes!)
- walked to discovery green, had fun.
- took the bus to the menil area. wanted to go to the byzantine chapel and the rothko chapel but the byzantine was closed (what the fuck houston art?), but the rothko wasn’t, so we went and enjoyed it because the rothko chapel is fucking awesome and if you live in or are visiting houston, you have to go there for real.
- decided what i wanted to do with mikey adventure saga and general life.
- thrifted on the strip of westheimer with the resales on it. didn’t buy anything like a good person.
- finished the day talking about process, the mikey adventure saga and how i know too much about harry potter at the agora cafe with katie and (later) her parents.
All in all, a successful day.
