Would I find La Maga? Most of the time it was just a case of my putting in an appearance, going along the Rue de Seine to the arch leading into the Quai de Conti, and I would see her slender form against the olive-ashen light which floats along the river as she crossed back and forth on the Pont des Arts, or leaned over the iron rail looking at the water. It was quite natural for me to climb the steps to the bridge, go into its narrowness and over to where La Maga stood. She would smile and show no surprise, convinced as she was, the same as I, that casual meetings are apt to be just the opposite, and that people who make dates are the same kind who need lines on their writing paper, or who always squeeze up from the bottom of a tube of toothpaste.

belle & sebastian, paul curreri, beck, gilberto gil, devendra banhart, hungarian opera, thelonius monk, lily allen, neutral milk hotel, a lot of times i like what my friends like and i just don't have the initiative to seek out this really cool music but once I hear it thanks to them, i really like it & would have liked it even if my friends weren't listening to it but sometimes i get nervous that it seems like i don't have any musical tastes of my own. but i do.
raise high the roof beams carpenter & seymour an introduction, the unbearable lightness of being, everything is illuminated, rapture, vellum, the sad girl etc, tess of the d'urbervilles, the waves, to the lighthouse, a writer's diary, midnight's children, the god of small things, cien anos de soledad, rayuela, ficciones, poisonwood bible, waiting for godot, so much more i can't even think about it.

Fuck, Matthew and I are leaving on a roadtrip with my fam late tonight or at dawn tomorrow morning (depending on when my fam can get going). I want to pour one out for the homies! Dang. You should go somewhere really fun though, ooo like a tapas bar or something. I will pour out some sparkling apple cider (inevitably dry wedding) with the llamas, for sure!

how DARE you. how. DARE you. Dick. Okay, he doesn't work there anymore, his number is 719-671-6570. I have no idea why you need this information, but I hope you're not hiring someone to hunt him down and contract kill him, because then I'd have to find a new roommate, and that's just extremely inconvenient for me.
