muckefuck(The title represents a conscious attempt to avoid the overuse of "random" in connexion with LJ omnibus entries. The following selection is arbitrary, varied, disparate--perhaps a little whimsical or haphazard--but, since each and every thought or experience I have isn't equally likely to end up in this journal (despite what y'all may think) or in proximity to any other thought or experience, it is not "random". So there.
- On the el last night, I saw a very mainstream-looking young black man carrying a bass case sit down next to a guy with a bright blue Mohawk. After a while, they started chatting. When they exited together, I overheard Mr Mohawk saying "Zen isn't like that. Right now, I'm reading a book by [horribly mangled Tibetan name]..."
- Haven't seen my hunky neighbour since I killed a kitten over him. Perhaps he was just staying with friends a few days? Am v. sad.
- Picked up a menu from Như Hoa last night, since I'm curious to see what Laotian dishes they offer. Can someone explain to me why more than a third include seafood when Laos the only Southeast Asian country that is completely landlocked?
- In their online edition, Consumer Reports has the pithy warning: "If you think shopping for a car is an ordeal, try shopping for a mattress." Too true! Looks like I may be sleeping on the futon for a while longer.
- I have a living room! It still begs for the finishing touches, but it doesn't look bad as it is and it can actually accommodate visitors. So call me up and invite yourself over sometime.
- Laughter can be a potent form of aggression and I think it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
- The Chicago International Film Festival is coming up! This time, I'm going to make a concerted effort to see more than one or two films, even if perusing the selection hasn't exactly set my heart afire yet.
