What a weird deadline

New Moon Magic. What a weird deadline, “One week prior to the month before to the date of publication.” That’s just so strange. On time and under budget, that’s my goal. Music for the day, I had to try it, at least once: Hank I, Hank II, Hank III, back to back. Feel like a country outlaw. It’s also official now: looking for a man? Austin is the place to catch one. I was sitting down to a reading with two females, and like a classroom, I held up a copy of the local paper, pointed to the headline: “It’s official now, men outnumber women.” What’s even more interesting, is that Austin [Travis County] has the greatest incidence of unmarried, living–together couples. Bucking the trend, yet again. I suggested I get a live–in girlfriend to the cat. She gave me a very bored look, then wandered outside.
