Today’s soundtrack: The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking, that's entertainment.
Today at 8:02pm: spinning



“Thank you for calling The Corporation!”

- “If you’d like to sodomize one of the ex-cons from our cafeteria staff, press one!”
- “To urinate in the Vice President of Marketing’s mouth, press two!”
- “To commit a fabulously complicated double homicide using a window-washing scaffold on the 34th floor, press three!”
- “To have me, the operator who recorded this message hunted down and killed by professional assassins because you don’t like the sound of my goddamned voice, press four!”
- “To have psychotropic drugs injected directly into your left ventricle, press five!”

I have a headache.

A crippling moment of indecision on the corner of Walk and Don’t Walk leads to missed taxis, unfinished cigarettes and a slow boat to China.

One of those days where you feel like if you came home and found a loaded pistol on your desk it wouldn’t be too difficult to pump a couple rounds into the wall, or your neighbor’s mailbox, or maybe even that small space with no hair right behind your own ear.

I’m sick, I’m coming down with something. One of those sneezy motherfuckers on the subway launched a virus into the air and despite me holding my breath for as long as I could, the airborne particles somehow found their way into the lining of my lungs and commenced their nefarious acts of replication. End result being I had to leave work early today to come home, shed clothes and lie in my bed staring at the ceiling.

I dislike feeling bad. But I very much like listening to “Picasso Visita El Planeta De Los Simios” (“Picasso Visits The Planet Of The Apes”) by Adam and the Ants. British New Wave is over twenty years old and still good. In contrast I am over thirty years old and no longer very good.

“That’s Entertainment” by The Jam is some good shit.

Crashlanded U.F.O.’s, lost aliens and pizza. I am taking some type of flu medication I found in a cabinet. Headache still here though.

Something is spinning very, very fast. I can hear it. If you would just listen you could hear it too.
