my kitty bit me. pretty good.

they were quick at the e.r., though. (you haveta go cuzza virulent cat spit.) they have complimentary valet parking at the e.r. it was weird to be getting valet parked like that.

today was a lousy day for my hand and for my finances. and sort of in other ways too, and sort of not. trying not to get down about the email i just sent. on the Spike Lee Scale (of Doing the Right Thing) it was up there, i think.

was it derangingsusana who pointed us to that study of how we (people) hate to close doors, when doors represent options, even when it's fairly obviously not in our interest? some clicky quiz in a NY Times article about the psychology, i think from that book Predictably Irrational, or w/e it's called? i got in line for that one with the library.

okay, next i'm gonna post the poem i was gonna post before things kinda got away from me today. then a take-it-easy night, and tomorrow will come tomorrow.

Dang, girl. Stuff's been going on with you. So sorry about the bite. We need to talk soon--it's been way too long.

i know you were recently at the site of what was, according to the billboard west of town on Rte. 50, America's Most Beautiful Shopping Center (<-- check it, it has a Wikipedia article!) (how they can fail to mention the Orange Julius, i cannot understand) (or the mall cinema workers getting stoned) (or how much business Hickory Farms lost giving out samples to that guy you had the inexplicable thing for) (and me) (but it was always his idea) (cuz it was free) (hahahaaa).

other than that, i don't know what's up with you either.

Jeez. I hadn't looked at e mail in days, so I just saw this reply. I'd already sent you a reply to your e mail about America's Most Beautiful Shopping Center. I forgot to include in my Mall memories one of my favorites--that time you and BP dressed up like "nerds" and came by to pick me up to go to the Mall for the purpose of formulating a guess in the how-many-jelly-beans-are-in-the-sports-car contest. I believe you put tape on your glasses, and BP pulled his pants up so they were high on his waist and too short. One of you had a calculator on your belt, and the other had a slide rule. I think you may have worn pocket protectors. I went along as what you called your "cool friend." We did the car thing, and then went into Hess (as you may recall, it was one of the stores where lots of the really "cool" girls shopped), where I purchased a blouse that you and BP really liked. Man, those were carefree times, in retrospect.
