Ani DiFranco
Little Plastic Castle

Michael Chabon
Wonder Boys
 
into...
how quiet my apartment is at 2:47am;
heat;
procrastinating on january and february birthday cards;
a trip to the Georgetown Public Library
 
this old, dusty, amazing book...
I've had Wonder Boys in my collection since 1996... a signed copy even. But something just slightly aloof about Mr. Chabon on the night I met him made me never ever want to read it. And then it suddenly popped into my hands on Sunday night and I haven't been able to put it down. His language weaves spider-like webs in my head.
 
bug donbee...
At least once a week a conversation with Todd dissolves into variations on the name Don Bugbee, a guy that used to work with us at MEDITECH. This joke is pushing four years and is still damn funny.
 
a world that needs this kind of warning...
I got a parking ticket yesterday because I still haven't registered my car here and gotten my parking sticker for this neighborhood. And how alarming I found this warning to be at the bottom of my ticket: "Assaults on parking enforcement personnel are fully prosecuted." Oh this strange planet on which we live.
