turns out the captain of my soccer team (a random stranger drawn from all zog sports applications) lived in the dorm room next to an ex-boyfriend (6 years ago?) and they have a lot of friends in common and see each other occassionaly.

Our chum Jackson's latest work is a comic book version of Ruskin's Unto This Last.

My stomach is telling me it disliked lunch and good listener that I am, I headed to the drug store next door to buy some ranitidine. The ranitidine is now doing its work and thinking better and thinking about things as one is prone to do on rainy Sundays, I thought about our missing ranitidine and wondering if he will come back to fight the fights and to do the deeds that need to be done and to tell the stories that need to be told.

Don't mind me--the meds are kicking in.

Funny weird awful......

I'm sitting in the B&N cafe and 2 people sit down next to me, about college aged. I overhear something about this kid wanted vengence. So of course I start eavsdropping and this guy is talking about how his father died and he's convinced that man who married his mother is responsible and he doesn't know what to do, and nobody believes him. I just keep getting more and more fascinated until I realized that I must have missed the part where he said "now if I'm Hamlet, this is what I'm thinking." They were discussing him in the first person.

In that case, he should at least describe it as a graphic novel.

I have double-posted before by hitting the submit button twice, but this is a new and suitably bizarre experience.

Today at work one of my customers said she wished we still carried the old (shitty) vegan carrot cake, as opposed to the new (actually pretty tasty) one. When I asked her why, truly boggled, she said: "because the new one tastes too real, and it scares me."

Usually, I get: "this soy ice cream doesn't taste creamy enough," but this one really threw me.

One of the candidates on the ballot in NYC for public advocate is Bernard Goetz.

This morning upon driving up the alley that leads to the parking lot behind my office, I see a vehicle that has obviously been stolen and abandoned. The windows are smashed out, the steering column is ripped open, the stereo is gone, etc. It is left up against a telephone pole with most of the rear of the car sticking out into the alley.
I call the police to report the crime and the fact that it is impeding traffic. A few minutes later a traffic cop pulls up and places a parking ticket under the windshield wiper for being illegally parked in the alley. I call back and explain the situation again, this time using smaller words. They come and tow it away.

Then, this afternoon a young college-age male comes into our office in a rather perturbed state. I ask if I can be of assistance, and he replies, "Did you guys tow my car from your lot? That's so uncool."
I said, "No, your car was stolen from our lot last night, joy-ridden around town, stripped bare, vandalized, run into a telephone pole and abandoned in the alley. Then the cops towed it."
He then said, "No fucking way dude."
I said, "Yes fucking way."

I was told that my pump rebuild kit was shipping last Wed. Then I was told it was shipped on Oct 19. This morning I was told that it's coming from Europe. Wine sitting, no pump. I believe I'll get my gun and then some real answers.
