yesterday's ephemera: a few patient moments of listening, a hastily-written collection of topics, a 58-point margin of victory. "some grad school is going to be lucky to snag you" written at the bottom of my analysis of In Cold Blood. homemade tacos, Shiner Bock, a speeding ticket given quickly to make a quota. lots of talk about swine flu. jokes at her expense, a lot of dry rice scattered beneath the table filling the dustbuster with an ominous rattle. five fluid pages on secondary language acquisition.
today's ephemera: an ad-libbed presentation, masterful parallel parking, homemade french dips. a first viewing of 'Eraserhead', a discussion of Hebrew, the acquisition of a marriage license. a polite conversation with a lady trying to sell me cable, which i haven't had in years. a root beer float, a few quick games of cards producing a frustration echoed in a masturbatory boredom. Law and Order: SVU. a late blog entry. the anticipation of insomnia.

I got a crackberry, and was pretty excited, but it wore off. It's a phone.
Marriage license? For serious?
@cub - yup. may 30th.
Wow. I'd no idea. Congrats my man.
Almost picked up In Cold Blood the other day...haven't read that since high school. Â Although it was a riveting book, don't think i'd classify it as a novel though...it's more along the lines of Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter"...which is one of the most awesome non-fiction books written
Have you seen the film Capote? It's pretty good.
@EminemsRevenge - i don't think of it as a novel, either. book-length literary journalism fits best, i think.
@kissthewitch - i have indeed. great film. i try to see everything with PS Hoffman in it, and out of curiosity i went and looked up his IMDB list of acting credits and realized i have only seen 19 of his 49 credited appearances. guess i better get on it.
