Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Jan 18) Somehow, between my last post and this one, I apparently took 100 photos I didn’t save. I’m quite sure I have no idea what that’s about. I revisited some familiar places.

and pooped for eight years
The house where Billy chased his Kong

the fake brick is pretty awful though
It hasn’t changed much

"on time is whatever we say it is"
Things come and go, and and come and go again

and it's as empty there as it ever was
The building in the foreground is new, it just doesn’t feel like change.

signs of sadness
A former housemate puts the Will G. stickers up. He says it is to honor his son, which is of course a nonsense excuse for defacing things. But for those in the know, it expresses how much he misses his kid.

intersections
Go and Stop. A metaphor for my life.

(Jan 8) Suddenly, nothing happened. I am still in Port Jefferson, apparently for the year. But it doesn’t feel like home either.

burned
There’s been a fire

it wasn't a residence, whatever it was
I don’t really remember what was here.

peace
Through the woods

waiting
Past the train yard

for now
Toward where I sleep

(Nov 29) It’s become crazy time. My landlord is liquidating his life’s possessions. I’m trying to keep mine from going out the door with his. Still don’t know where I’m going to land, and Port Jefferson doesn’t feel like home because of it.

blue yeti
At one corner of my desk

crystal
Viza gave me this. I wonder if Josh still has his?

wreathes o' electric
The town has decorated for the season and its Dickens Festival

through the lookingthrough glass
The car still feels like something new and transient in my life

won't buy again
This pre-seasoned chicken was all that seemed suitable. It was horrible.

thanksgiving oven
My gesture toward the holiday.

it's coming right at you!
Port Jefferson Village

strange things have been afoot at casa george
Tick tick tick. That’s the sound of Port Jefferson running out.

(Sep 29) I went on a small tour of the past.

nan's house
The natural place to start.

shadow of its former self
The willow has seen better days

the once vast green expanse now marred
To me, Billy’s field.

it's round!
The fruit of something

in pieces
Its sibling, post squirrel.

in the woods
Some things however, are little changed.

(Sep 17) I left Port Jefferson for the second time in November 2010. I returned to the same exact location September 15, 2011. Moving is becoming a ceaseless process. Upon my return, it becomes clear quickly that I won’t be staying long either.

antiques, or crap if you prefer
It’s nice to be back in a familiar place. The Spanish part of uptown continues to grow, while “Antique Alley” holds steady.

You did realize Lava Lamp is a brand name, right?

moon may appear smaller on screen than real life
Uptown’s getting a little rough though. One of Pete’s workers was nearly beaten to death in a robbery right near here.

smokestacks
Back downtown, past the power plant

PT Barnum used to own this area
