dark deliverance - in which the sunsets stop getting earlier and Nina brings her pet lungfish to the wildlife center.
a sacred oratorio - in which I see a 90 minute truncation of Händel's Messiah and meet a musician there along with an artist.
death by bespeaking - in which we discuss the naming curse and bats at the wildlife center, a woodcock without a name dies, Jacob, Brody, Courtney and I eat leftover donuts.
a moment of joy - in which Eyzwydopen's blog is purged from the internet, we clean paint, I decide to share one of Emma's songs with Asakiyume, I scrub the internet of personal information in the hopes that a blog gets purged for privacy reasons, which unfortunately doesn't happen.
noctilucence - in which The Santa Clause sequels are a thing, and I learn that the North Pole has no time zone.
on immortality and change - in which someone raises endangered tortoises, Keith quotes Monty Python, Zofia and I discuss Central America and its death squads and abortion bans.
indomitable will - in which I meet people with colorful hair and see Chinese erotic art.
