  • Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Funny story time - it seemed like everyone had or wanted to have that album when it came out. We did not have it though because it was hard to find in my village. A boy I knew had the album and agreed to make a recording for me on cassette. I was super pumped and got the tape from him on Friday at school before a slumber party with my besties. Saturday morning we’re all sitting around the table with my friend’s huge family and they pulled out a cassette player and set it in the center of the table. The first three tracks played while we’re monching pancakes and I was so chuffed to have brought this sought after album. Then “Thriller” came on - the song - which is nearly six minutes long. Everyone knows the song and it’s ramping up but then suddenly the music cuts out with a click. It was the boy who recorded it speaking in to a mic saying, “Elaine, I recorded this for you because I love you.” Mind you, I’m ten so the entire room - adults and kids are dying of laughter while I was desperately trying to crawl across the table to shut it off. Someone grabbed the tape player from my reach and I died instantly. This is my clone typing this in 2024.






  • Im out on adventure! I left my high desert for Kentucky and got the piss taken out of me by the humidity right away.

    It was my birthday yesterday so we started in Louisville and had a delicious lunch at Main St Eats, then we went to an art museum, photographed a giant golden pp, and took a sweaty walk down by the river. Next we went to the Mega Cave Neon Zip Line Tour. My first time zip lining - I was definitely at the edge of my tolerance for fear and heights! So cool though, zip lining through the darkness with neon lights and rave music was a once in a lifetime experience. I swear some of the rope bridges were scarier than the zip line though. At dinner I also saw a delightful little red cardinal for the first time and it was amazing to me.

    More adventure lies ahead - tonight we are taking a star light tour in Mammoth Caves.

    I feel like the luckiest dog on earth.
