Let’s keep it short.
I beat the bugs … so far. I went shopping but bought no bug spray. I took my chances … did I really need poisonous bug killing spray that I’d use at most once? Today? No swarms of bugs … one or two stragglers are left but for now that’s it. There was, it seems, that one batch. Where they came from, I know not.
Last night I had a swarm of gnats — midges? — or rather swarms in my apartment, around the lights, and so I turned on lights farther (further … whichever) away from me to attract them … elsewhere.
My “brief” comments about Lost — despite a bit of a slow pace, which is to say, too much dallying on scenes with “meaningful looks” and such, the show still has it.
In spades.
However, there is a shorter-than-expected diary here because I am f**king p***ed … my fault? I don’t know. I blame Firefox, I blame MySpace … I blame somebody else …
I read the newest (19) issue of X-Factor, volume 3, and it’s definitely going a cliff-hangery sort of way with Rictor and the others. There was some great M dialog (isn’t there always?), but unlike most other recent issues this one doesn’t stand too well on its own.
I have enough empty wine bottles on my desk to make me look like a lush or a starving artist — or, wait, what’s the contradiction there?
I went in this afternoon to grade and to email, and to acquire the most recent episodes of Bleach … even though I’m still back in the mid-60s (and 126 is the newest subbed one out there).
Jyoti called this evening, so that took an hour of my time. I need to plan for going to New York. While there there is so much to do and things to see. Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Coney Island, Central Park, Times Square, Soho and so on and so forth. Several museums, Columbia’s campus and perhaps NYU’s, coffee shops and bookstores, neighborhoods to see, and musical and concerts and ballets. Plus the Bollywood Disco up in Tribeca when I arrive.
That’s me. Mr. Post At Night.
Rain rain go away, come again another day …
When I walked out the door this morning and ran to the bus it was still dry and not particularly humid. I took the 3 to Gorham and State, got off, crossed the street, and got a table at Fair Trade, but within half an hour it was raining.
And at some points coming down rather hard.
