Tuesday, December 30, 2003
I'm back, but I took yesterday off because this is my silly season. I work like three out of every seven days, and the rest I spend in sweaty, tossy torpor in my bed which refuses to be comfortable, but is yet the most comfortable bed I've found. Insomnia has made an early New Year's Resolution not to quit bothering me. Insomnia might not be so bad if I weren't so tired, but since I'm just a pre-zombie if I undersleep, it's like WHAT ELSE CAN I DO BUT LIE HERE AND THINK THINK THINK. Oh, and the ridiculous thoughts that take on a manic importance when you can't sleep: I must start a new religion founded on truth and beauty; bitches owe me money; I need new shoes; what if that chord were major instead of minor? My extremeties bristle together in their chapped winter shells. Who will make moist my flippers?
Ah but yay: my rustling, dry-handed prayers have been answered by a moist and merciful god. Through the miracles of SCIENCE and the InTerWeb, myCetaphil.com allows me to electronically personalize my home moisturizing experience! Gah! Doesn't this bullshit piss you off? Moisturizer websites? Gabble! 2003 was bad because I saw Daredevil, which seriously is one of the ten worst movies ever, with Jennifer Garner trying to ninja the fuck out of a blind guy within five minutes of meeting him because he asks her name. 2003 was good because I got the Matrix sequels out of the way and I can start anticipating real-life things like marriage, home-ownership, parenthood, crippling back pain, and twenty-rock-per-hour crack addiction. OR WHATEVER. Also I saw Errol Morris's The Fog of War, which made my December, if not my year. Also I bought products, ate food, and killed zombies with knives. Who can ask for anything more? Sunday I accompanied the new roommate (whom we'll call Newmonia in honor of her recent welcome-to-New-York illness) to a cough sports bar so she could watch her beloved Packers on one of the ten DirecTV hookups in the stinking dive. I couldn't stand it for long, but the straw that broke my scoliotic spine was a jittery, stumbly man who stared at the Vikings game so hard I thought his eyeball might land in his highball. On the sidewalk smoker's ghetto, he explained that he'd been on a bender -- variety unspecified -- and that he was down, way down, and need to win this one badly, and the Vikes were winning but not beating the spread, so who the fuck cared, god fucking dammnit. I sympathized with a genereic "Huh," which marked me as a good listener and confidant, I guess. Juicy-eyed and earnest he looked at me, saying "I gotta quit, man. Gotta quit gambling, gotta quit smoking, gotta quit drinking, gotta quit the drugs." I waited for a line about hookers, but apparently his vices know some earthly limits. But it sounded like a good resolution to me, folks, so let's just make it the UDvsGA boilerplate. Good luck in the New Year, my friends, and may your addictions be cheap, benign, or easy to kick. 0 comments |
