I get the feeling I have to stay late tonight. Wait, it's already quote-unquote late.

I get the feeling I have to stay later tonight.

Why do people not say "quote the-thing-they're-putting-in-quotes unquote," or do they? I don't know.

Dinner's waiting for me.

There is a Clean & Nasty show this Sunday at 9pm at a sort of new place called Rose in Williamsburg. Playing before them is Amy Kohn and Eric Mingus, at 7 and 8, respectively. There isn't a cover and the sound guy knows what he's doing, the food is good and they have drink specials.

The scariest thing I can imagine is this.

To be in the woods, at night, and walking in the dark, relying on the little bit of moonlight shining through the trees, and it doesn't matter if it's alone or not, it could be with a girlfriend or a small group of friends, or not even friends, just people that you know, AND THEN lightning strikes and in the flash you see that the woods are filled with people, hundreds, thousands of them, just standing there, sitting in the trees, not moving, they're just there, strangers, staring at things, at you, there're tons of them, everywhere, uggwhhhwhwhwhwww.

It sounds like I'm complaining, but I'm not. I mean, I'm not happy that we have super cheap paper towels in the bathroom now, and that they're so thin I can no longer fulfill my resolution to use only one paper towel to dry my hands, but I'm not, like, mad or anything. It's just something. I was able to use one of the old kind, now I have to use three of the new ones. That's all.

I was at Toasties and I was watching them make a sandwich and thought to myself, Damn it, that looks good. I should've ordered whatever that one is, and it turned out to be mine!

This might not make any sense, but sometimes people talk the way a mime would talk, don't they? Like how they describe their lives and their problems and even their successes. It's like, nothing's just...manageable. Or doesn't toss you around. It's all big gusts of wind and glass boxes with you, and tugs of war, isn't it?

Not you in particular. Just some people sometimes, I'm saying. I can't think of anyone offhand. People who talk about their babies, maybe. They're just babies. There's lots of them around. "Oh he just said his first word!" as if not everyone talks.

Well, I guess some people don't talk.


That wasn't meant to be a mime joke.

A woman on the train this morning was reading her book the way a mime would, except there was actually a book there.

How was it? So gross I couldn't even finish it. So went my last McDonald's meal for all time. One and a half hamburgers, two-thirds a medium order of fries, oatmeal raisin cookies that I'll probably throw away. From this day forward: only blueberry sandwiches for lunch.
