On Blake in 1997

Wednesday, May 29th, 2002 · Comments Off on On Blake in 1997

I came across an online posting today from one of my English classes at Vassar. I’m still not sure what I was talking about or what kind of crack I was smoking…but I’m sure I was going on not very much sleep…or smoking the crack of Blake. Here’s another funny blurb I wrote back in […]

Tuesday, May 28th, 2002 · 3 Comments

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2002 · Comments Off on Missing Nana
