0707
Several very positive developments in my life this month would warrant their own entries if this blog were my diary. In chronological order:
- I started my version of the Omega Diet, as mentioned before, coupled with daily walks, with very measurable impact on my svelteness.
- I designed some elegant, emotionally stirring, kick-ass business cards for myself. And paid for them.
- I learned that I will have a new job, with a compensation structure based around lawful money of the United States rather than spit and magic beans like at the last place. This happened right after I irrevocably paid for the business cards I'm not going to need. Although they still are going to kick all kinds of ass. (O.K., I'm being unfair: there really was very little spit involved.)
- On tonight's brisk constitutional I noticed that a nearby laundromat has a Williams Taxi pinball machine! I'm pretty sure they haven't always had one or I would have noticed it before. (The Williams company stopped making pinball machines sometime around the turn of the century, a minor tragedy because they made the only decent ones, really). I have a special fondness for Taxi because in college my girlfriend and I spent a great deal of time in Tommy's Lunch picking up passengers—Gorbie, Dracula, Marilyn Monroe, Santa Claus and Pinbot—when we were supposed to be doing things like reading huge tracts of Marx, Durkheim and Weber (yes, that passenger list is from memory, although I couldn't tell you much about The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, which you'd think was the cornerstone of the entire Social Studies curriculum for the number of times it came up after I "forgot" to read it). Do kids today have the slightest idea who "Gorbie" was?
