the youth

the kids outside our duplex have accumulated three footballs, one basketball, two super-soakers, a toy car, an inflatable dog, a shoe, numerous rocks, and a log on top of our roof. the police have been to our duplex three times in the last two weeks. twice a ten year old was threatened to be taken to juvie, but was not taken. i'm not sure who's phoning the police. i heard one kid call another kid a bitch. then the kid who was called a bitch called the other kid a mexican.

one of our cats has developed meditative powers and stares at me with such intensity that i now know she is enlightened. it's difficult, living with an enlightened being and not being enlightened oneself. it hurts the self-esteem.

i cut almost four thousand words from this novel yesterday. it was not difficult. it was all very bad and uninteresting writing. i did feel a little sick afterward.

i saw the new star trek, which was fun. i read some things about people thinking it was stupid or has a conservative message or something. i don't know. it's star trek. it's supposed to have explosions and silliness.

glad you're both still checking in here and there. i'm going to post a stupidly funny (don't get your hopes up) video, but i don't know how long i'll keep it up.
