While packing for ATP it seems half of my suitcase is filled up with medicines. I don’t like it. I don’t like them. I hardly remember when to take them and how to take them. They make me extremely tired. And what’s worse, they’ve made me lose lots and lots of weight. On the other hand, they’ve worked miracles with my overall wellbeing. And so I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that I’m stuck with these medicines for a very long time to come. As any other self-conscious patient I’d like to think that I’m better off the meds, that it’s all just a misunderstanding, that I’m really fine. But I’ve proved myself wrong too many times. I’m done fucking up. For once, I won’t let vanity stand in the way of my wellbeing.

And!
Okkervil river just released a bunch of new UK tour dates, a bunch of dates in November. I can’t explain how grateful I am. I can’t thank the Okkervil guys enough. I feel blessed, truly blessed. I imagine the travelling is tiring, and still they keep touring both sides of the ocean. I’d be the first to understand if they chose to stay at home instead, hiding from the rest of the world. But they don’t and no one is happier than me. I don’t know what keeps them going but I hope it’ll keep them going for a long time to come. As long as they keep going, I’ll keep following them around wherever and whenever I can.
