I think that everything is going to resolve itself.

There's an old song that goes..."everythings all right, everything's fine."

I have spent all afternoon lying in bed reading Hillary Raphael's I Love Lord Buddha.

I am agog. I worship this cult already. I am honored to be reading it.

To quote to big and hollow billboards on the 101...OMFG!!! Right by where the Vivid building lost a couple letters, under the palm trees unsustainably captivating.

It is so, so lovely. It was hard to drag myself away to write this.

How long must we sleep on the bed of our madness...
