claire- brie is serious business, nothing geeky about that!
thanks for the comments!

my nearly-famous, ex-oxford uni band with a publishing deal who are about to sign a recording contract friends are way geekier than that. last time i hung out with them they had a serious half hours discussion about the merits of mango on a brie ciabatta sandwich, and then puttered off to the pub for a quiet pint and a roll-up.

totally great and hilarious – magic cookies, cab vortexes, all seems a bit too close to wonderland rabbit holes to be real, but what is real????? yeah i always avoid writing on these things to keep from sounding like a dipshit but it’s too good to pass up… and are all those ruin (bb=roon) photos medium format? come to chicago next, please
