There are these two totally hardcore guys in the back of the Diesel, middle-aged dudes talking about the business. I can't tell which the business they're talking about but they're a joy to listen to. They drop the f-bomb constantly and crack jokes and one of them has a really loud falsetto laugh. I am sitting here laughing too; it is infectious.

What the... they just parted ways and one of them said "Are you having fun?" to me while walking past, without pausing for a reply. ?!

Now he's back and a girl asked him if he worked here! When he said no, she said she was gonna ask if they were hiring, and he said "What, I'll give you a job!" and she said "Are you a professor?" and he goes "I'm just a very entertaining Italian Jew who's trying to make a living!" and then they fall into a conversation about which school his daughter went to.

UH BUH BUH. Nonetheless, Maryland is a beautiful state. So is Ohio, for that matter.

Listening to a particular Tori Amos song for the first time in a while, and it strikes me that the image evoked by the lyric "Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs" managed to completely reverse sometime between its publication in 1994 and today. Our moody friend Greg was originally destroying all his music, but now he's making more copies of it instead!

FWIW, discussion of this and other bits of the song here. From now on it's really quite impossible for me to hear those words and not think of this emo kid cranking away with iTunes while writing his emo fan letters, anachronism or not.
