Site Changes
For now I’ve decided that I will focus on publishing some micro stories here on my Tumblr. As far as other posts go, I won’t be reblogging much of anything.

Plans
Sometime this summer I plan on retiring this tumblr. I didn’t intend for that last sentence to rhyme, but now that I’ve happened upon it, I have no intentions of editing such serendipitous prose.

“Oh god. Oh my god.”
“What, is your foot asleep?”
“How’d you know?”
“You sit like an asshole and it makes your foot fall asleep.”
“Honey, it kills and I can’t walk on it and I have to go to the bathroom immediately.”
