if i could experience my friday in the 5th dimension as a singular point where everything happens all at once, it'd be like this: i bought some cilantro (99¢), i continued to pilfer my roommate's fourme d'ambert even going as far as buying some table crackers to go with the delicious blue cheese, i ate chicken noodle soup for lunch at the cafe, the chinese construction guys renovating the restaurant don't seem to like me very much and the feeling is mutual, i'm not looking forward to a wet saturday since it's going to put a damper on the kennedy funeral + boston carnival parade + joel and sara's wedding in newton, i didn't do any work today, how the hell did i get poison ivy on the back of my left hand?, covered up the motorcycle in anticipation of the eventual weekend downpours, paid my health insurance premium even though they never sent me a statement, i'm downloading some wii games in preparation for the mod chip that's scheduled to arrive come monday, bruce informed me that he also managed to slice his thumb and had to get stitches, my neighbor ed told me he can paint my house for me at a discount if my brazilian painter bails on me come september, more eggplant lasagna for dinner, my roommate spent the evening at the boston museum of fine arts but doesn't think it's as great as the louvre in paris (that's because napoleon was working for the MFA when he plundered the ancient world looking for treasures), watched the ted kennedy memorial tribute - that man touched a lot of lives (surprisingly, fox news had the best coverage with a direct feed of the video presentation despite the distracting crawler at the screen bottom).
