Writing another Catch-22 inspired short story, but actually publishable this time (in my opinion). It regards the increasing privatization/brand-naming of the military, along with the use of those oh-so-controversial drones. It reads kinda like a screenplay but that seems to be the direction of literature these days, so I think I'm safe.

According to my girlfriend, I have a crush on my activist acquaintance, Xio...
Reading a book, while dipping bread in soup, while taking a selfie in the bathtub... You've got to be some kind of wizard to pull that off.

I talked to Xio all the time during Occupy because she was the only one who talked about concepts foreign to me without being a jerk about it. I still kinda think she's crazy. Her ideas on raising children outright terrify me... but then again she raised two boys and I've never even had a sibling, so I don't know. There is not a single person I have met that knows what her real name is. I have a hunch about what it is, but I'm not, and can never be, certain. She posts links to articles on her Facebook updates, then posts comments on the update that are the entire article itself! And then 'likes' her own update and all her comments!

Nobody else finds someone with a brain wired in such a way sexy? ...whatever, fuck all y'all.
