"Just know, every morning when you wake up, I think you are a piece of shit."
-Bill, to some unidentified person on the phone
And I wonder: what would it take to actually say that to someone and mean it? And what would it do to a person to hear that...? Knowing that neither party involved in the phone conversation cares at all....It's all kind of making me sick.
Conversely, the person who said that loves his family more than anything, and still tries to make conversation with me even though it's been determined long ago that we have absolutely nothing in common.
I'm very tired today.
Tonight I get Ethiopian food and martinis.
You can watch The Elegant Universe
here, and read other things, too, if you happen to be at work and unable to watch a three hour television program on your computer.
Angela, I'll start on the SF porn this weekend, I hope. I have some ideas.
