T A Y L O R Wanna come to Palm Springs with me? I'm bored.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron I barely just got back from a desert. You know, people who are bored might watch some TV or pick up a book.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Now I haven’t been myself, but I’m pretty sure that, despite both being deserts, Palm Springs and Afghanistan are not hugely alike. I plan to read, just in PS. Or could go to Japan again if you’d prefer that? Or I’ve heard good things about Vienna lately.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Ha ha very funny. Not Afghanistan, just came back from visiting my mom near Vegas. You got bit by the travel bug all of a sudden? Or should I ask, trouble in paradise?

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Haha, ok that I’ll grant you. I always travel when I’m not touring, have too much free time. No paradise to have trouble in!

[aaron eklund]

Aaron But feel free to give good old Kabul a visit so we can compare notes. I'll think about it, not really in the traveling space. Matter of fact I'm almost done with one of Kendra's pieces.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Not sure the Taliban would have me. Aaron man, please do not associate me with her. She’s not my girlfriend.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron You're the poster boy for western sin. Yall give me whiplash. There's a big divide between no association and not your girlfriend.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Love that for me. I’m distancing myself from her. Or trying to.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Well then pardon me, forget I told you about her commission update. How you been lately?

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Sorry, bit trigger happy of me. Really, really boring thanks. How are things with you?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron You wanna talk about it just say so. I won't prod. Sounds like you're missing some art classes. I'm pretty good actually. Saw my mom and her family, met my baby nephew. Nice little roadtrip with my dog.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Nothing to talk about, just breaking the cycle. What’s going on with your girl? Sounds very wholesome. How old’s your nephew, brand new?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Nothing major I guess. Still talking most days, hanging out when we can. Fiance's still there. Couple weeks, I wasn't there for the birth. I'm not around babies a lot, it's a trip seeing a little ass human like that. Are you an uncle?

[taylor maitson]

T A Y L O R Sounds fucked. Ew, who'd be there for the birth of any baby that wasn't theirs? Yeah, technically.
