having Sinéad O'Connor kinda evening.

searching for the exotic wherever i am.

some trees green first at their tips, growing from their extremities. (lessons learned lying on my back in a hammock in May.)

‎(leather gloves + small box + lid from a pizza box) x (persistence)² = no longer sharing my bathroom with an airborne mammal.

Mykl i am

trying to figure out how to extract a live bat from a (2 x bat) sized crevice in my bathroom, without making a mess or getting rabies.
