There is a subway in LA.
(sur)Really.

and get this.... it's on the honor system.
No. Really. You buy your ticket, and then walk down the stairs and get on the train. No turnstyle or machines or gates or underpaid guys in blue uniforms...

It's harder to sneak on the monorail. You could ride the LA subway all day back and forth if you actually wanted to go where it goes..... which is not much of anywhere.


PS. It was mostly empty around rush hour which was the time I chose to ride.

If John Walker Lindh can be tried for serving in the Taliban army and therefore aiding terrorists, can Ronald Regan and George HW Bush be tried for selling arms to Iran and therefore aiding Terrorists.

I feel like I should buy CNN, and insist that every picture and video shown of a world leader type have a clown nose superimposed over it.


humbug.


PS. We just ate cake again... so maybe in 10 min, I won't be as grumpy.....

ZING!

It (w)is grey.
We had cake and icecream and Nick Drake and coffee
and we like each other here.
and our offices are the prettiest in the world.
and our staff is smarter and cute-er than yours.

so who cares if we've not seen a profit yet this year.

I don't.
really.

I'm going to Phoenix this week, feeling a bit homesick for the desert....trying to catch up with old friends, upon finding this out, 'Laura' writes me...

"Hey there...
Risking sounding ridiculous... here I go. I'm
wondering if having lunch next week is a good idea.
Here's why... regardless of the level of trust that
[NAME REDACTED] and I have for eachother, feelings of petty
jealously do enter in sometimes. After Scottie's
party - after meeting you - [ND] was obviously
uncomfortable in some way. He was convinced that he
saw in your eyes a longing of some sort... he told me
that "he(you)obviously still has feelings for you."

That's a good rhetorical question... care to answer?"

JEALOUSY - uptight
JEALOUSY - human nature
JEALOUSY- poison

I'm not allowed to see people who are quite signigifacnt in my life because of their need to respect the irrational fears of their significant others.

I've got a diamond necklace of friends I can't speak to scattered across the world.
I'm sad.
