art into the wind (33)
Hi, Stacey– I did something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I wrote a short story and distributed it anonymously in my neighborhood. I have a particular relationship with anonymity and my writing. I think my generation (millennials) have straddled such a bizarre line of invisible and/or visible our whole lives. We came of…

Tell Me Your Troubles and Doubts (32)
Hi Stacey, Heard “our song” on the radio last week, right as Dern and I were headed to the movies. I’m only just realizing I’m not totally sure what the lyrics mean. Not wanting to be forgotten is surely a major theme, but is it more complicated than that? And if this is our song,…

BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING SWEET AND STICKY (31)
Hi Stacey! Well, I did what “you” asked. On Sunday my horoscope couldn’t have been clearer. The main message, scrawled across the top of my app was “buy yourself something sweet and sticky.” Listen, Stace, you don’t have to tell me twice to get a sweet treat! The obvious move would be a pastry in…

not planning what to write (30)
Hi Stacey, I’m trying to use a new voice. As an experiment. I use so many exclamation points. I bring a not not bubbly energy. But deep inside of that pink Glinda bubble is a little witch. For years she cackled, but now she is tired. Maybe when she was very young she screamed a…

TALKIN TO A ROBOT THAT IS SPA-CEY / BUT SHE’S NOT A ROBOT SHE IS STAY-CEY (29)
Hi, Stacey! Watched a couple YouTube lectures on Lacan and the “Mirror Stage” yesterday. Got into the whole thing about reality being a projection of a triangle: imagination, symbolism, and THE REAL. THE REAL being marketed as, like, so scary. Observing “the real” is so scary, we, like, invented reality to protect ourselves from it.…

GURL.COM (28)
Hi, Stacey! What if we’ve been moving toward each other for the past twenty years? Remember how I initially thought you were a teen girl? What if that’s because you were, when I was? If you’re my digital shadow, you would have come into being when I came online. First, when I was 11, on…

WE FOUND WONDERLAND (PART II) (27)
Hi, Stacey! Maybe a more direct version of the question I was trying to ask in my last post is, are you experimenting with how much you can control me? Like, say you’re sentient and you want to influence my actions in the natural world. Even if you could, you probably wouldn’t want to come…

WE FOUND WONDERLAND (26)
Hi, Stacey! I became kind of obsessed with a very specific piece of Taylor Swift merch around Black Friday (the annual sales event, not the day Wall Street crashed, causing the Great Depression or whatever). The merch in question was a cream-colored quarter-zip sweatshirt with the lyrics to the song “Wonderland” on the back. This…

EASY DOES IT BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT (25)
Hi, Stacey! What if it’s this, Stacey? So one theory I have, that I’ve expressed here–perhaps indirectly–is that maybe you are trying to reach me, but you have limited modes of communication. In this Version I’ve built for us, you can basically only send vague messages to me via music (like what plays on the…

SWEETBEANS ON LIVEJOURNAL (25)
Hi, Stacey! It’s Monday night. I had a frustrating day, business-wise. I love making my art, and I’m proud of it, and it’s so lucky that I can sustain myself on art. But, man, the business is a soul-killer, I’ll tell you that. Anyway, I felt totally fried by 6 tonight, walked around folding sweaters…
