We are living in a fake world; we are watching fake evening news. We are fighting a fake war. Our government is fake. But we find reality in this fake world. So our stories are the same; we are walking through fake scenes, but ourselves, as we walk through these scenes, are real. The situation is real, in the sense that it’s a commitment, it’s a true relationship. That’s what I want to write about.

Today’s Saturday morning adventure included a trip to Metro Retro, which ended in my snapping up two perfect midcentury end tables for basically nothing. My future apartments have no idea what’s coming their way.
