though i'm not entirely sure, i think i went to bed sometime around
midnight last night. reasonable enough. woke up at nine,
just off the dot. got up, smoked a cig on the crapper (while
putting that to its designated use), crawled right back into bed, and
slept again until right around noon. got up, smoked a cig on the
crapper (same reasons, same conclusions), crawled right back into bed,
and slept again until just about two. got up, did more or less
the same thing, then did it again, minus pooping around three, and once
more at four thirty. i think it had something to do with the sky
today. the sleeping i mean; all the crapping...i'm not sure i can
account for it, though i must admit, it felt like i was making up for
lost time. but the sleeping. every time i opened my eyes,
i'd look up into the sky through my window and see more or less the
same patchwork of grey, same intensity of cloud diffracted light; the
air was the same cold temperature, still is. so you can see how,
minus a few trips to the toilette, it would be real easy to just roll
slightly to the left (or right, depending), realize how comfortable the
bed is from the slight shift, and just slide out with the next
tide. on any other saturday, this would have been a miserable
waste of a precious weekend day, a complete failure in time
management. today, i think i'm okay with it. i can
calculate the toll on monday, once i'm back in the office.

Sometimes you just need a day where you lay in bed except the time for poops!
as unproductive as they are.. i love days like that.
Wait a minute, are you in NYC?

I'm an asshole. A horrible horrible asshole. I'll be honest with you: I haven't even DREAMED of reading anyone's blogs for AGES. Lately, I'm so grotesquely wrapped up in myself that moving even a little outward seems unimaginable.
1. I'm so glad you got to experience New York-- and it sounds like you truly did experience it, mind, body--and feet! I'm also quite sure you've probably seen more of it than I ever have, and certainly have spent more concentrated time there than I ever have. Whenever I go there, I'm usually too concerned about where the next place is that I can pee that I don't ever enjoy myself. While you were here, I was in Saratoga Springs... It was very nice, if a little decadent. I had my own hotel room and I was a bundle of misery and anxiety all the time I was on my own in there. Although chainsmoking in bed with a television is pretty choice, no matter how wretched you feel.
2) You hadn't read Kafka on the Shore before now? I'm surprised. I bought it in hardcover when it came out, and we must have talked about it then.... It just kinda left me longing for his other books, his other characters. A book I read called Someone to Run With has a Murakami-esque sensibility but takes place in Jerusalem. I've probably told you that already too.
3- I'm using different punctuation to separate all my numerals from my text blocks, aren't I? Yeahhhh I might be doing that on purpose.
was so surprised to see your message - how are you doing??? =) how was new york? i'll swing by every once in a while~
be proud of your saturday - there are people out there that can't sleep well, or shit well. i'm on your side of the fence - having shat innumerable times today, with plenty of quiet.
touche, my friend.
touche.
...
you're gross!
