\t\t\t\they hey, hmmmmm, hmmmmm, the H and the M keys work tonight, unlike last night. now i can say HMM and MMM Hmm all night long without having to go back and peck out the lipogramaticaly missing letters one by precious one.<\/p>\n

i plundered PACER.gov last night in search of vast troves of data, but was disappointed on that count. there was a lot of interesting testimony about payphonery in NYC, though, so it was worth the expense on that basis. i was imagining that a database of a certain profile was entered in to the record as background, but it was not. not surprising.<\/p>\n

what was today? football. that was entertaining.<\/p>\n
i decided to re-arrange the apartment somewhat. or else move to a new place. but moving is expensive, and if i don’t really need to do it then the expense is needless, and not even tax deductible…<\/p>\n
i talked online with an ex-GF last night. i offered to take her out for a fabulous steak dinner before she moves away and gets married. i offered this before but she conveniently ignored me… we had a nice chat. i remembered how i used to like her, but never let myself love her. she said she loved me. i don’t have any real regrets about that relationship, though i sometimes wish i had tried harder to enter into her world. she is Muslim, so a white guy like me entering that world is no simple matter.<\/p>\n

i was rediscovering some Schubert sonatas this week. the A Minor that i so love for its chant-like first movement, but not so much for its plodding second movement, actually has more to recommend for its 2nd movement than i had thought. in some ways it evoked the slow movement of The Wanderer Fantasy, but all in all i hear the piano sonata as if it is a string quartet. it could work as that, in a higher key.<\/p>\n

looking at new apartments. some are stupid cheap, others stupid expensive. one is a 3-bedroom in some asshole part of Queens, for $2150\/month. nothing there. i know the area. quiet. deep country quiet. a truck drives past at 3am and the whole neighborhood wake up.<\/p>\n
…..<\/p>\n
going to ‘Cesca tomorrow. ‘Cesca is hte fancy restaurant where the shit hole lobby of the Parc Lincoln used to be. i went there some months ago. i will go again tomorrow, on MLK day. i was once (or twice) reduced to a quivering mass of white man jelly on the floor of Room 317 at the Parc Lincoln, listening to the speeches and feeling all the rhetorical glory but also the meaning of America. i never thought of MLK as a black man or a racial symbol, but as someone simply stepping up for all America to simply request equal rights.<\/p>\n
