Here's The Answer

Had to drop the car off to have them replace the brake light. Made the ER stop from the 813 in the nick of time.

I have one passage/chapter left in As I Lay Dying. I'm glad I am reading the heralded works of the past century because after a while there are only so many crime novels one can take before they all blur together. The best ones in recent memory were Tom Rob Smith's two that I read in the winter. Hemingway and Faulkner used the same literary tactic where they say that there's a problem without actually saying it.

It smelled uncharacteristically foul at the Highway crossing today. Like raw sewage and burning rubber. There was a woman standing at the crossing and I was going to ask her if she smelled it, too, but I think should've misconstrued it as an insult.

There are a lot of people on the path today -- joggers, cyclists, most of whom are unusually ripped. I'm listening to Everyday Demons by The Answer. I picked up this album when Virgin was going out of business 2 yrs ago. I hadn't heard of them but the sticker on the cover touted them as the opener for AC/DC and they were worth the risk (of a whole 3 bucks) because it's just damn good rock and roll.

I am going to run today and since I made the earlier train I am taking it a little easier on the road today. I stopped off at the GNC on Beaver St. and it had nothing I'd want for the prices they're asking.

I'm slated to help the Lizard's friend with a thesis today and I have a couple of opportunities I need to explore online. It'll be an allright day. If I'm really lucky I'll see GL tonite and get it out of my system.

Thank you for reading.
