The Texas Eagle: Austin to St. Louis
12/18/03TRAIN [11:17] And we're off and rolling. More comfy and roomy than I imagined. If it stays like this, voila. The train was supposed to leave at 10:30, though. Some kids four seats up are making noise and coughing. An old man behind me is coaxing a lung forth from his esophagus. Everybody's coughing. Maybe … Continue reading The Texas Eagle: Austin to St. Louis

CIRCUS[12:03 a]Berlin (cont.)Berlin seems like a town where rich kids w/ expensive habits, high hopes, & little productive motivation come to fuck around for awhile before settling down somewhere else. People here, people around the hostel, non-native German speakers are floating around out here, for the most part, & I hope not to join their … Continue reading 6.3.2002

Bathroom[1:06 am] Sitting on a can in Circus hostel fourth floor men’s restroom. As Oscar says, “Just keep going, it’s at the end of the hall, you can’t miss it.” And as I found it the first time, and as I later told him, “You’re right about the bathroom.” You literally walk right into it … Continue reading 6.1.2002

Freitag[8:05a] Got up at about 7:40 am because Emily had gotten up. She had set her alarm for 7:30a but I don’t think it went off—I didn’t hear it. But I don’t know, maybe it did. I was dreaming all sorts of things. A Matt Morris—Dwan Prude—Isaac Suggs figure all squeezed into one, both pitching … Continue reading 5.31.2002

Driving Along A Highway In Missouri
Alright, um, it is 19:28 on June the 10th, 2004. I just drove by a mailbox that said Paul Brewer on it. I just drive by mailbox #175. I look over to the left, I’ve got hills, I’ve got the rolling hills of central eastern Missouri. Lots of trees.
But also rain. So, a grey sky is what I see. The road is pretty windy, and it’s wet. In some places there’s been some standing water. Um, no cars either in front of me or behind me right now. Although, I have had cars both in the front of me and behind me.
I saw a little blue sky out there in the distance off to the southeast. Which is basically the direction I’m heading. Take a look at the compass…goin around a curve. Been in the car for at least thirty-six minutes. That’s the time I’ve got. I’m heading south right now and it’s 68 degrees Fahrenheit outside...

May 29, 2002 [7:08 am]DREAMS Went to sleep last night pretty early, somewhere around ten o’clock. I was not in a very good mood. At midnight I woke up with a terrible headache, got up and took some aspirin. Advil. Three. With tap water. Lay back down. The mattresses here at West End are easily … Continue reading 5.29.2002
