AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

Dear reviewers of assembly required products,

If your review includes the words "lots of substitutions, but still turned out great" perhaps what you meant to do was post the assembly instructions of a new product. You know, the one you made.

Just saying. When I want to look at a chocolate chip cookie recipe and I want to read opinions of the chocolate chip cookie recipe, the last thing I want is to see or even get a whiff of some other chocolate chip cookie recipe that apparently "still turned out great" with the implication that because it's there in the comments it should also be rated just as highly (without the option, of course to actually rate it, because ITS IN THE FUCKING COMMENTS).

Sorry. =sigh= Just sayin.
