Slid

Monday, March 18, 2002

Dogs were very appealing at that age; theyÂ’d look right at you, and you could give them the crookedest smile back and it wasnÂ’t going to unbalance the universe. As for the boy who worked at the shelter… you couldn’t say we ever made conversation.

Leavin’ weather.

Thursday, March 14, 2002

Sometime this morning I woke up fevered from another nuclear holocaust dream. Sometime last week my neighbor got robbed. Sometime tonight I have to take out the garbage; I don’t think I’m gonna even though it’s spilling over the rim of the can; I’ve been sleepwalking through work so bad I didn’t even recognize the […]

I’ve posted my first review to Neil’s site, movies are awful (formerly movies show limited promise). Should show up in a while, pending approval. If you’re leftier than me, don’t read it. If you like trashy campy films, go for it.

The rule in my house was you do your homework first, and then play. So I learned to steal time from myself.

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO MANNA

Tuesday, February 26, 2002

Somehow I thought the market for stupid cartoons had dried up. I mean, before September 11th we had a nearly-inexhaustible reservoir of postmodern angst.
