how quiet my apartment is at 2:47am;
heat;
procrastinating on january and february birthday cards;
a trip to the Georgetown Public Library

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.

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.

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.
