“Attraction” was one of the better out of the last 10 stories, but still unsatisfying. “Ocean Avenue” starts with this absolute banger of a line - “if you can still see how you could once have loved a person, you are still in love; an extinct love is always wholly incredible.”

“the only sex you could describe fairly well is bad sex - and who wants to read about that, for God’s sake, when everyone is having sad sex of their own?”

“Mother!”

dear god when will this end

“eyes of a blue dog” rocked. not a gabriel garcía márquez fan but i’d 100% return to this. dreamy, melancholy, just the right length. delicious.

baby hangover w/ first iced latte of the year. “How to Give the Wrong Impression” was what normal people tried to be, but in 10 pages.
