So I'm a little dizzy when I get back to the physical therapy office after changing into my normal clothes, both from all the exercise and from the fact that I just saw an upscale business-type dude blowdrying his asscrack in the locker room. Oh yes, vigorously he dried his crack, with the deft wrist-flicks that bespeak years of practice. And he stared intently into the mirror as he did so, and lo he was hairy as hell, and the dopplering whoosh whoosh whoosh of the dryer almost made the stream of air seem solid, like an invisible lightsaber. Please, stop. Seriously, stop it, mister. Ugh. I need to sit down. Rich people are so fucking weird.
The girls behind the PT reception desk have a question for me. "How do you know what the book is about?" asks the cute Asian girl, pointing to my copy of Vineland, which I'd left on a massage table. Sure enough the book has no writing at all on the back cover, and furthermore no reviews or synopses or whatever on the inside either. And I'm like "I never read the blurbs anyway," with a dismissive fling of my arm, which instead of looking nonchalant makes me seem like some kind of explosive spastic. The receptionists trade glances, and the more typical Queens receptionist girl (seriously, is there some DOL receptionist-breeding incentive program in Queens? Because 90% of all receptionists, EVERYWHERE, are from Queens) insists: "but then how do you know what it's ABOUT," like I'm pulling her leg. And I just want to scream at her "THERE IS A MAN BLOWDRYING HIS ASSCRACK IN THE LOCKER ROOM. HIS ASS. CRACK." But instead I go off on some endorphin-muddled tangent about Gravity's Rainbow and Play-Doh and half-sour pickles and the pluralization of latin words like scapula. As I stagger out of the Equinox gym that envelops the PT place, I giddily entertain the delusion that I am the hippest person ever to have set foot inside it. (This happens to me all the time.) Then two skinny greasy indie rockers slouch past me on the street and I get pissed, because they see me wearing a button-down shirt, and in the instantaneous sidewalk game of Fashion Stratego, they outrank my stupid ass by at least three. No wait, rockers! I'm usually dirty and slouchy too! Ah fuck it. They obviously don't have jobs. They probably eat cereal for every meal -- if that -- and their pointy-shoed girlfriends have to pay for their stupid Budweisers. Damn. I hate my shoes. I need new sneakers. 0 comments |
