Now close your right eye and look at your nose with your left eye. Alternate for a while. Which view do you like best?

I like the one from the right eye. It has more of a curve. The view from the left is just a blurry slab.

At the ironing board I found both cuffs buttoned and the little sleeve buttons buttoned too.

Why did I take the shirt off without unbuttoning the sleeves?

Yes, I have small hands.

Geez, look at all those freckles. Where’d they come from?

I’m liking this book. Engaging characters and dialog. A different culture. The question is whether I will finish it, at 1474 pages in paperback, or F&F first.

Probably the book. I’m only on round 97 of F&F. Weeks until the end.

I actually wore khaki pants and a white dress shirt to work today. Khaki makes your ass look huge, or flat and baggy. Mine looks huge. Why? [I mean, "why did I wear khaki?" not "why does my ass look huge?"] Because I thought to myself this morning, if the power goes out today—because of the heat—what do I want to be wearing when I have to walk home across the Brooklyn Bridge? A black polo shirt and grey slacks or khaki and white? On my way to work—two blocks away at 7:30 am, I’m sweating—I figured I should keep a spare pair of shorts and a t-shirt in my desk, just in case. And flip-flops, since dress shoes don’t work with gym shorts. And sunscreen, since the power would likely go off mid-afternoon and there’s little shade along the way, like you could fight the crowds your way into the shade anyway.

Currently listening to: the soundtrack from Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man
