I was standing at the bus stop yesterday. I saw a man get in his car, cell phone in hand; he pulls out and hits a truck that was driving by. There was no damage but it made an ugly plastic on plastic sound. The people got out and then rode off. No point to this story really, just something that seems more common these days. I guess?
I was really tired yesterday. Could have been the painting or the traffic from Sunday. The real reason? I think a jellyfish may have stung me. I'm not positive but after the ocean I noticed a red blotch on my hand. That'd be kind of cool if a jellyfish did sting me. I'm not sure why it's cool but if nothing else, it'd be good way to start a conversation with a girl. "Hey, you ever been stung by a jellyfish?" See what I'm saying? I open with that and I'm solid gold. I'm guessing that if a jellyfish really got me, I'd know it. The blotch is almost gone but it is sore, interesting.
Did I mention that I could have gone to the Emmy awards this past weekend? Actually, I was going to go but my plans fell through. I was going to crash on a friend's sofa but he made other plans. I still could have stayed at his place but half the fun of going out there is going out and doing the whole LA thing. The downside of that trip is taking the redeye back to NY. You get to the airport at 7am and then have to go to work, yuk. I did that once or twice, that was more than enough. Years and years ago when I was working in the mailroom I did the redeye thing and had to do the mail with no sleep and no bath, I was in misery. I remember sitting in the mailroom banging my head on the desk. What's my point to this paragraph? I don't know. Two paragraphs in today's diary that I'm clueless about, odd.
