I see Kern but Massy isn't there, he's had ... http://saidobject.com/dock This was a flash piece I did a few years back after finding this priceless photo online. I would credit the source but I can't remember where I found it! This is sort of the precursor to the "Boyfriends" piece I did with Kara Kovacev for the Electric Literature Outlet ... http://saidobject.com/boyfriends-the-precursor Look, Cindy, I feel really stifled, I need to travel around town a little–meet some other chicks with pigtails. Jonas wants to see other girls–this deep malaise is swarming over me. Not so keen on hopscotch today. He's an asshole–I hate that whole Dutch thing he has going on. Just ditch him. I ... http://saidobject.com/jonas-and-cindy-the-breakup Figured I should probably start posting some of my other writing on my blog, isn't that the purpose more or less?

Her husband had built the hut, taking great care in its construction. It was her daughter's rabbit and she seldom took notice of it, often forgetting about it entirely until she would hear a brisk scratching from the backyard. ... http://saidobject.com/rabbit So tired of this weather. Ideally, I'd like to move to Florida and start a Utopian society. It’s warm, cheap, devoid of hipsters and completely lacking in any sort of irony (okay, probably not entirely true on both parts but...). Can we start a rebirth of Victorian Utopian societies like they ... http://saidobject.com/florida-utopia Read about this great site "curiouspages" on "hilobrow" the other day. It's dedicated to all the lovely, inappropriate books written for for children before the vanilla world of new age began. One great post was on Margaret Wise Brown's "The Dead Bird". Direct and downbeat, it's a winner. It made me ... http://saidobject.com/macabre-child I pilfered this post from my old blog and wanted to post it here again as I love this photo so much. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found it as it was so long ago. “Prom Night ’62: Alone with Mr. McNamara” should have been the name of this ... http://saidobject.com/prom-night More fun with the Pen.  A walk in the woods with a few friends. http://saidobject.com/walk-in-the-woods
