the best feeling in my poor world // 2002-08-27

my hair is now washed and clean and is being worn down, though it's too hot, today, for hair hanging down one's neck. last night on the bus i thought, "i want a BLT right now!". so i went to the store and bought veggie bacon, tomato, lettuce, and lovely, soft potato bread. it was one of the most delicious things i've had in a long, long time. work is better today, though all i really want now is to be in paris. one good thing: the stress of flying is suddenly eclipsed by the stress of work, so getting on a plane seems like no big deal. the other day when i was on the bus i saw a woman with a juror tag on, and i thought it would be fun to be on jury duty, as i've never been called. then i read in pro-keds' diary about how he got selected for grand jury duty, and i thought "hot damn, that sounds like fun!" and then steveo told me today that he was selected for jury duty (but, incidentally, he forgot to go this morning so he had to reschedule), and i was frothing at the mouth. maybe all these signs are pointing to the fact that my time is coming soon. i, too, will be picked for jury duty and it will be glorious. last night c and i played scrabble. it had been forever since we played, and i kicked his ass. but i wouldn't have won if he hadn't spotted the entire word "liberty" in my hand. i played that off an "O" (to form "yo"), and got a grand total of 107 points for the play.

p.s. my drinky crow's eyes have been set to drunk for many days now...
