New Orleans: A Travel Guide at Entropy

  I wrote something about in-between places, when I was somewhere in-between: The crashed minivan’s headlights will be on, pointing out, softly illuminating dust particles.

Incremental Light, A Conversation Between Stacy Elaine Dacheux and Richard Froude at Dime & Honey

A LiveJournal Blog Entry by Stacy Elaine Dacheux

At the party, a woman in a silky dress makes conversation, “Hey, have you seen that show Halt & Catch Fire?” “No.” I respond, shoving my mouth full of gluten-free things that look like chips.

Mike Russek was also noted as a co-producer … More Three Friends Walk into a Pop-Up Gallery — Marcy Jarreau & Matt Quezada Edition
