7:05 PM: I think I forgot to eat. Hmm. Well, a croissant, but does that count? Not much.
As usual, the essence of much of my recent experience has been neatly encapsulated in a Jon Carroll column. I would recommend reading it, but then, my experience is of interest to me. Browser seems to have stopped working. Hmm.
7:37: No idea what that was about. My god but typing this magazine up each month is going to make me go blind. That and the sun glaring right into this screen from behind me. Typing should be done at night, why don't people understand that? Daytime is for sleeping, going out to lunch, swimming, having sex, and napping. Nighttime is for drinking, reading, drugs, and working with computers. The idea is to batch up activities that reinforce each other - maybe not towards a goal of accuracy sure, but that's so industrial anyway. Everybody makes mistakes - why not make yours interesting?
Someone is playing the Buffy soundtrack CD and it's not me. Sigh. I miss the Buffster. Not her specifically, though never overlook the value of someone to mock. The whole show burrito, taping it, watching it, talking about it, reading the recap and shaking my head ruefully at the cruelty of young people today.
Having access to previous episodes would help. I could watch Season II one episode per week, just as if I had been smart enough to have watched it when it was broadcast. But can you get Season II on tape here? Oh no. Somehow, this would thwart the evil plans of Rupert Murdoch. Only his properly subdued minions in England may be allowed to own such an item.
Have I complained about this before? Probably. I don't care, I'm going to again. It's important to understand the situation here. "Hello, Mr. Large Corporation, please let us pay you too much money for copies of television shows that you broadcast for free originally." "No!" "But in England, you sell exactly what we want to buy. You've already done the work. Just run off some more copies and put them on a boat or something." "No! This will be bad for some reason that I seem to have forgotten. And if you try to be sneaky and bring back copies of those tapes for your friends, I will sue you! Ha HA!"
Evil or Stupid? You make the call.
10:37: Forget my eyes. What is this crap doing to my soul, that's the real question. "Chicago is well positioned to turn the rust belt into the ROM belt." I can hear Troy McClure reading that sentence far too well...
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.
