I'm sitting at the desk I picked up at Kmart. Had to assemble it;
|
|
it's essentially pressboard held together with scotch tape. Maybe it wasn't
|
|
a good resting place for my fax machine after all. No one fucking faxes me
|
|
anyway, though. I just turned 22. Why do I need a fax machine?
|
|
|
|
I am becoming the Internet Male (tm). An unhealthy obsession with
|
|
techno-toys is certain to shorten my lifespan. Or maybe I'm just projecting
|
|
my desire to not quit smoking. Remind me to buy a cell phone and palm pilot.
|
|
|
|
Friday night and I'm getting intimate with Wordpad. Rich NYU
|
|
neighbors downstairs are playing the best of K Records. Right. Like they
|
|
know about being oppressed females. One of the girls is actually thinking
|
|
about buying rights to a film she saw in Cannes. Meanwhile, the latest
|
|
count of junkies on my doorstep is six. How many of those six are alive is
|
|
an entirely different question.
|
|
|
|
Shit, I just noticed the sticker on my desk lamp (sitting on my third
|
|
world country-manufactured desk) says to use a 60 watt or lower lightbulb.
|
|
The one screwed in is 75 watts. I guess you could say I like to live
|
|
dangerously.
|
|
|
|
What else is there to do in the East Village on a Friday night? Go
|
|
to a $4 Amstel Light bar and pick up a graphic designer named Alan? Just
|
|
think, I'll be missing out on fascinating discussion in our post-coital
|
|
bliss. "Yeah, Shana, I really like desktop publishing. I just wish it
|
|
weren't so, you know, mainstream. I've got these great pictures I drew of
|
|
anime characters..."
|
|
|
|
"Wow, Alan, it must be tough for you. Coming from the subculture of
|
|
statistics majors and the rugby team at U Penn, and now to bed of this
|
|
little maroon-haired girl half your age, listening to Belle and Sebastian
|
|
and discussing Wittgenstein for two hours, I hurt for you. Really I do."
|
|
|
|
Funny place, the East Village. The kids with spikes and blue hair
|
|
can no longer afford apartments here. They squat, wondering where their
|
|
next tattoo will come from, while I'm cozy and content with my 85 channel
|
|
cable box. Some New Yorkers say Avenue A stands for adventurous. I say
|
|
Avenue A stands for Asshole crackhead, get outta my stairwell. I need to
|
|
get to work.
