This past week:
1. Three consecutive days of a mild but persistent nosebleed. Is it sinus? Is my brain finally swelling (or is it shrinking) into a bloody pulp?
2. Reaffirmed my homo-feelings for David Byrne. Everyone should buy dual discs from now on. "77" remastered, playing through my surround sound speakers: well, that equals a big, fat musical boner.
3. Matisyahu is not a novelty act. He's not the hasidic reggae equivalent to Snow. He's incredible. Thanks to him and Damian Marley, contemporary reggae is finally saying something.
4. Tina and I had a record-breaking, sweaty, impassioned game of Scrabble. I lost. But just barely.
5. I'm reading Shakespeare. The itch to scratch a text with a pencil remains, after all.
6. I ate a tangerine for the first time in a long, long time. Highly recommended.
7. A scary guy and his bald wife purchased "Eraserhead" and "In the Mouth of Madness" on my good word. Their little son had hair and wasn't scary.
8. My mom had her 59th birthday. If she lives to the age of her mother, I only have 14 more years with her.
9. Seamus farted directly in my face. Not even three minutes ago.
10. I ran into a guy who graduated with me from high school. Feelings of inadequacy, awkwardness, mild nostalgia, confusion, amusement, and finally boredom ensued.
Anything interesting happen to anyone else?
