Saw a guy walking weirdly quickly and purposefully with his hand held up by the side of his face as I was coming home tonight. Was like, what’s up, what’s he doing, realized he’s using his hand as a blinder so he doesn’t look to his left at one of the many – I’ve mentioned this – strip clubs? Possibly full on brothels? – near my apartment past which he was walking. Honestly found this realization quite upsetting, not entirely sure why. Maybe it’s that – I’ve mentioned this – I too find this situation distressing, it makes me feel unhappy to walk by these, I was upset to move here sight unseen and discover this. But, like, it’s not about ME. So I don’t do that. And then I try to reconstruct a worldview that leads a person to perform this action and I say hmm. Maybe not so good. Who knows.

That’s what happened when I went to Reno with Danny Kaye and he asked me to shave his back, exact same thing, because I'm thinking, who benefits? Also, I gotta tell you, everyone thinks Danny is a jerk but he’s not really a jerk, it’s just the…theory generating its own anti theory. So there we are, me and Danny, and I’m wondering what the hell I’m doing with this razor and he says it’s for a part in a Norman Taurog picture but Judy Canova is there and she knows Norman and she says, Danny’s not doing a Norman Taurog picture. He just wants you to shave his back! And THAT’s who benefits!

Wow two caffeinated drink posts in a row on my blog. Have been trying to see if I’ve got a third in me. I think I genuinely don’t. Shame

Lately I’ve been enjoying: 1. Spoonful(s? Whatever) of instant coffee 2. Some ice 3. A tiny bit of salt 4. A little cold tap water just enough to dissolve the coffee, swish it around a bit 5. Maple syrup if you want it sweet 6. Some oat milk, be generous with this 7. Rest of the glass is sparkling water. Perhaps step 7 sounds nuts. It’s really awesome though. Delightful Italian soda coffee beverage
