- Thinking about how, while at community college, I worked as a dishwasher, and one day my boss told me not to wear bleach-stained clothes, so for my remaining time there I wore cheap, thrifted suits.

- My writing process is like that trick where you yank a tablecloth off a table really fast except I'm trying to break all the dishes on top.
- It's so cold at the office, I'm wearing mittens while writing my silly stories.

- So far today I've done some reading and writing. No arithmetic though.
- Sometimes I pace when read. At one end of my path, a cup of coffee, which I always stop to take a sip of like I'm passing a baton in relay.
