Awkward Adventures in Time: Labor 4 →
It is an intensely weird moment when one finds that one’s past is suddenly a plot point on TV.  At the ‘view, the man in the wall was actually a possum in the wall downstairs, who we did not find out about until he died and then we had a whole bunch of really well fed flies appearing from nowhere and even now, years later, that thought induces a little bit of retching.  I always knew...

– I got them onto the transfer shuttle, I do not have the skills to fly a plane. I also briefly paused to remember that “occupada” was not the false cognate for “pregnant”, which was a quick self-esteem check. Though SFO has a bigger complement of agents; and I split my travels from this coast...

While arts and sciences were both always present at my table (though I felt that it was more important to prepare myself for a life in the latter because the former “I would probably totally be able to fake”,) I distinctly remember finally internally leaning one way, as I wept in the theater as I watched the South Park movie thinking that, clearly, the best thing had now already been made and...
