“Taking Different Roads…”

I slept for more than 8 hours, going to bed around 10 and not fully waking up until around 8. And the morning was filled with Aaron cuddles! If I can get outside today that will be 10 days in a row, which, aside from trips to other places in the world, I don’t think has happened in years! I apparently have a therapy appointment tomorrow? My therapist supposedly had surgery and was off for 3 weeks, but I saw her 2 weeks ago, so I was not expecting this. But if true (and not a clinical error) then it will be fun to tell her about all these personal victories.

Still getting ready for bed. 05-11-26.

The Punisher: One Last Kill will be released tonight, which will hopefully answer some questions regarding his absence in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. But today is also Disney / Marvel’s entry at the Upfronts, which means there will likely be news of several upcoming Marvel projects, though I’m not sure how much of that news will leak or if any of it will be all that interesting. We’ll have to wait and see. The project I’m most interested in is “VisionQuest”, but I’m interested in everything to some degree. The next Marvel thing to come out will be Sony / Marvel’s Amazon series “Spider-Noir”, which streams its first season in full on May 27, the day after we return from Florida. Then “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will be released to theaters in July. We’ll likely get “X-Men 97′ Season 2”, then “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2”, then “VisionQuest” after May but before December. In December, “Avengers: Doomsday” hits theaters. In 2027 we have “Daredevil: Born Again Season 3”, “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” “X-Men 97′ Season 3”, “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 3” & “Avengers: Secret Wars”.

We’re going to Florida from May 20 – May 26. We need to see how our house there is doing in the wake of some drama, plus we like to go there when we can so it’s part work, part vacation, and assuming the house is doing well, it could be a relaxing time for me because I love our house there and the times we’ve spent there.

I should try to eat soon. Looks like a high of about 65 this evening? Nice. Maybe I’ll walk to the park. Or a park. I’ve been trying to get to Fort Tryon this year, but I’ve also been tempted to revisit The Highline. For awhile, I was going there pretty often but it has now been several years. I don’t think I’ve been there since before the pandemic, so at least 7 years. Crazy.

I name my blog posts with quotes from songs that I share via Spotify, but they aren’t showing up today – the songs, which make me nervous that one day they will fail to appear at all. For the record this was “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division.

Assorted September Scribbles (between 9/4 & 9/11)

Tired sleepy eyed transformation awaits.
The unconscious cut in line
but are more lively than I am
and I’m mostly awake!

I’m wearing scruff,
no makeup or jewelry.

Halloween may be every day
but will be celebrated more than 50 moons from now
as I remain here in my complete lack of drag
save my Joy Division shirt.

“Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.”

How much for a cup of coffee?

Just your self respect,
as I’m reminded daily
of orange shrimp with tiny baby hands
and the day I wandered
into his seaweed castle aquarium
to beg for sustenance.

Being stuck underground in the Heights
I should be panicked and pissed
about my horribly fucked up Starbucks drink,
but my Vitamin Water Whiskey mixture prevents this.

Luna Park
in headphones and I chill.

Whiskey
rushing through my veins.

Nothing
satisfies the bones.

The scrape on my hand
was unintentional;
one must not fist androids.

Mashup from decade ago
(or longer)
returns in Times Square.

My hands are blotchy
and I thought
the food seller bathed in Windex
but it’s actually asian hand sanitizer.

The hot random to my right is less than perfect
which somehow makes him hotter,
though he disappears at Penn Station,
undoubtedly reappearing for others
as he leans in,
kissing my neck as I continue to write,
still listening to Justin and Enrique
make love to one another.

Time to meet Monica
and ease on down the road.

(I’m returning The Wiz, if that isn’t too obvious)
