3:29 PM: Ha ha ha! And just in time for Thanksgiving, too - how appropriate. If Pinochet goes to jail, can Kissinger sleep well at night? Hope not. Kisses, Henry.
4:20: There's really no reason to be mentioning the time, I know, but I like to think it adds a spurious sense of urgency. Which reminds me of how wonderful the weather here has been lately. With usual weather-rich arrogance, it only occured to me today that other bits of the country might not be having such luck. It's sunny and perfect in that way that's only possible after it's been raining a bit. Not only is the air cleaner, but you appreciate it more. The temperature is warm with an edge - I think it might be being sponsored by Calvin Klein.
Speaking of whom:
Email a Calvin Klein ModelWhoever put those three characters together understands people like, well, me, far too well, I must say....

12:20 p.m. 25.Nov.98.PSTCalvin Klein is finally going digital. Kind of.
The designer doesn't have a Web site yet, but print, television, radio, and billboard ads for the cK one fragrance will feature email addresses for the three models who appear in them. Consumers who send email to the ad-stars will receive responses written in the fictional "voices" of each of the models, complete with emoticons.
[...]
The three new characters span cK one's target audience: Anna, a sophisticated 13-year-old; Tia, a 20-something professional; and Robert, a hip, middle-aged city dweller.
And speaking of that, I wish this certain cow orker in the off-the-shoulders black dress would stop rushing back and forth past my desk. Which is to say that I don't wish that at all, and yet it would be better. Not that it matters, though, probably. "Wow, I was really disillusioned to find out how crude you are!" Uh huh.
7:45: Almost forgot to get bus schedules to head up to Maison de Ma on Friday. Now I just hope I still have her phone number written down somewhere. Did I mention how close we all are?
[Repeated negative comments systematically denying and refuting all alternative explanations, proffering no solutions while attacking any solutions which have been offered by anyone else as being ill-conceived and fruitless, and anyway what do they know, smug hypocritical bastards.]
And so I finally said, "Hey, me too!" Oh, it was too much! But that's the kind of wild fun we have. OK, gotta go, there's just so much to do this weekend, I'm gonna go nuts! (And don't say "go?", you wisenheimer!) Kay, bye!
What?
Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.

All names are fake, most places are real, the
author is definitely
unreliable but it's all in good fun. Yep.
