You will
Location: my usual black chair Mood: groggy Music: a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
Me: You mean you watch the whole thing? Y'don't just fast forward to the action?
Him: No, I want to hear the plot. Me: Plot?! There's no plot; it's always something like: guy shows up to deliver pizza, girl steps outta the shower, and oh, she has no money to pay him. What to do? What to do? Oh my! I've appeared to drop my towel... Him: (laughing) I still like to see what happens. Me: Y'know what happens - nuthin that ever happens in real life, that's what happens. Grand thespians, they're assuredly not. Been looking at a buncha ebook readers lately for myself.
In NYC, the average rent is $30-35 per square foot per year. A bookshelf takes up about a three square feet of space. I would need three for alla the books I got. That's a nine square foot footprint, or $270-$315 a year for rent just to keep my books.
Ergo, ebook reader.
The issue is that alla the screens're too small. Don't wanna have to get surgery on my eyes to repair them to save $270-$315; that makes no sense. The Kindle DX has a huge screen but no way to zoom; the iRex reader has a huge screen and zoom but's crazy expensive and dim.
So, looks like I gotta wait.
Hate waiting for the future to come. According to television, we were supposta all get jet cars by now.
And television never lies.

Then again - was 20 when those ads in the vid above first came out.
Funny thing is that every single onea those things the guy said turned true.
In fact, I've done all but threea those things he said.
Listen to the voice, know who he is?

Thank you, it's alright
Location: 9:00 yest, 14th and 6th Mood: sleepless Music: i have seen insane things all those grand historic paintings
Was picking up some legal papers from a potential new client the other day. The weather was perfect so I took the long walk home in the daytime. Walking past Grand Central, Dar Williams just happened to be singing It's Alright so I stopped to listen.
Ducked into a clothing store nearby to look things I can't afford. Dido's Thank You was playing. Didn't realize I was singing along until the girl standing next to me harmonized a lyric and we turned and laughed at each other.
Me: (sheepishly) Thanks for the song. Her: (laughing) Thank you. ----------
Went to Paul's housewarming that night. The boy lives in a 2,500 square foot apartment. Yeah, with three roomies, but still. He has a laundry room in his apartment. In Manhattan. Heartgirl and Rain swung by so we caught up.
Heartgirl: (looking at apartment, turns to me) I don't know how to tell you this but I'm strangely attracted to Paul right now. Rain: (also looking at apartment) Y'kidding me? I'm attracted to Paul right now.
Saw Heartgirl for some Latin food on a sunny street in Jersey.
Me: Y'know why they don't put lids on crab baskets? Cause they don't need to. When one tries to crawl out, the rest pull him back in. Told Heartgirl that I was trying to be better than I was. She said she believed me.
YASYCTAI: Summer's here. Time to make some more changes. (time/2 pts)

44
Location: 9:00 yest, pulling a lever on the UWS Mood: hopeful Music: may your dreams Be realized
Making some major life decisions but I'll fill you in on those later. On an unrelated matter, broke my right pinky. Again.
Guess you've seen Pretty in Pink. But I much preferred the remake, which came out the very next year called Some Kind of Wonderful. Same director, same writer, different cast but same roles.
The writer and director couldn't get the ending they wanted for Pretty in Pink. Ergo, Some Kind of Wonderful. So their got their ending.
In other news, voted today. Got a free cuppa joe and now my hands're shaking like an 80s crack addict. The voting machines were the same grey machines they had in NYC since I was kid - also in the 80s. More things change, the more they stay the same. I worry we got a different cast, but the same roles.
But there is one aspect of this story, however, I particularly like. MLK was murdered seven years before I was born. 44 years ago. Now a black dude is the 44th president - and almost no one I know thinks of him as a black dude. He's just a brilliant, ambitious man. That's something different and good. Hopefully, we'll have the ending we want.
God bless and protect the man and the office. Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi...
