All of this could be so beautiful—it wouldn't take a lot

I do not appreciate coming down sick just in time for a hurricane, not to mention an audition. Then again, [personal profile] spatch is the person who gets to call the dentist at the crack of dawn tomorrow after calling a regular doctor at the crack of dawn today. We would like a refund on our physical embodiments since Wednesday.

1. I forgot to mention yesterday that my birthday fried oysters contained two tiny, grey-mottled pearls. I found them by biting down on them, but neither broke. Please tell the Atlantic I love them. I have placed them on the bookshelf beside the lime-green rubber tentacle I got last summer at NecronomiCon.

2. [personal profile] yhlee sketched me a mermaid with poetry!

3. My IOU DVD from my brother arrived. It is Small Town Crime (2017). I am delighted. The picture of the protagonist on the packaging continues to look disproportionately badass, as opposed to sort of elfinly hungover.

I liked the part of my afternoon where I walked down a street covered in windblown leaves like scraps of gold tissue paper. It would have been even nicer if a medium-sized lake had not been dropping out of the sky onto me at the time.

P.S. I forgot it was National Coming Out Day. I am interested in people. I suspect this is not news.

I've read "how to buy pearl" guides that stress the importance of catching fakes.

Rub the widest face of the pearl against the edge of a tooth. Grittiness accompanies a genuine article.

I hope your living spaces remained dry.

But it feels like DYING. *shuddersssss*

(I got to show Child this bit of lore when you sent them their heirloom.)
