You are the most beautiful widow in town.

Kim made me join Lava Life and I find it ridiculously entertaining.She had to fire-escape herself outside of her apartment at around ten tonight:
"oh, additionally, when i went outside the only news i heard was that
somebody's pitbull was outside without a muzzle. and then i heard alot
of barking and growling and a woman yelling in what sounded like pain.
if i had to make a choice, i would have picked going inside and being
burned over being mauled by a pitbull."
Agreed. So I made fun of Kim for living in a ghetto apartment with a pitbull on her floor. Well guess what just moved in on MY floor? Yes. I almost cried.
On the note of fire-escaping, I need to make a fire escape plan. Like how to get out of my building and what I would take. I'd obviously take James but in the event that I can't get his halter and leash on, I'd have to carry him and hope for the best. That would impare me with about 20 pounds. If I had to limit myself to three other items I would take, in this order:
1) All the film negatives that I could find.
2) My fifth printing copy of JP Donleavy's 'Ginger Man' (it was the earliest copy I could afford) and his autobiography about Ireland (signed).
3) My 'Golden Age of Radio' LP, cover signed by Josh Ritter (because it's the nicest thing anyone has ever written about me), and my Frames 'For the Birds' LP.
4) My mexican abalone bird with his beak parted to generously open beer bottles, rocks from the beach on Crete from my first trip to Greece, and my two whale figurines on a piece of driftwood from Nantucket given to me by my mother.
That's alot more than three, but I would bring a bag. What would you save?
