Adult Papers (again‪)‬ Stone Gutierrez

Track List:
* Don’t worry I’m writing “serious” songs now – 
* I have a teacher in Brooklyn – and we pretend 
* what we’re doing is consequential, collectively 
* choosing to forget that we’ll both die one day, 
* we’re not even sure when, (it could be tomorrow,) 
* y ella continúa enviando un correo electrónico de nuestra Zoom programada
* and I send her payment through Venmo 
* sometimes even the day before the lesson 
* which I would like to think that if I died 
* before the lesson at least she gets a little 
* paper because she deserves way more 
* than I can pay for her electing to
* forget with me that we’re both going to die 
* one day. 
* Anyway. 
* I wrote and recorded my first full song on a dingy beige and floral sofa in a living room
* with bad lighting in East Dallas, 2019. I had just gotten a divorce, rented a house, and
* había mudado con mi hij@ de tres años el mes antes. En 2019, no tenía ningún idea
* that what I was writing and recording on my every-other-free-weekend was an EP that I
* would finish in my bedroom the week I’d get laid off from my dream job in Los Angeles, 2024.
* Bonus

Season 2 has come to a close. And with the gestation of Season 3, I am re-naming this whole thing. Don't be poor with me. Don't Be Poor, with Lunar V.

I wrote this episode on a day I finally broke from getting the same only-ever-subtext message from the online wellness community.

Johan Huizinga’s definition of “play” reminds me of Octavio Paz’s definition of “eroticism” – that it exists for the sake of itself. Which also sounds like something God allegedly said – “I am that I am.” This puts pleasure and play decidedly close to God in my factoring, though, it’s true, I’ve never been too good at maths.

I had been waiting forever for an adaptation of an Octavia Butler work. So when I saw the ad for the Hulu show, I counted down the days. I prepped by reading the book in a couple days. Warning – this episode contains spoilers.
