 ive started to lose my mind and ive noticed that i nod a lot at work.
people seem to know me here. i dont know them. im not sure if i like that. no one knows about this blog, i don't think, but they all say hi to me and i just smile, but recently i notice that i nod back. almost japanese style.
they address me by my first name, which would be creepier if i didn't have a handmade sign atop my computer monitor that says my name, but it still is rather formal, don't you think? i do.
only reason i had that thing up there, my name placard, was when this mariah carey lookalike worked here, so that she could remember my name so when i asked her out she would feel a bit more familiar with the concept.
but i snoozed, and i losed. she got fired for dropping her cover and i ended up getting her beeper number but never using it because i was distracted by a 25 yr old virgin.
can you blame me?
it's good to have an office hottie who keeps you brushing your hair before you come into work, who you can think about as you're rifling through clean clothes in the morn, who makes you think twice about that Maui tshirt of the fish with pink sunglasses and i have one of those girls here and i still haven't found a way to introduce myself to her yet but the placard is up so that phys-- wholely shit, she just walked through the door!
told you my mind was going.
i don't know what is happening with the planets or the stars or even if its just the Lord above who likes to give me a hard time with my emotions but he's sure pushing my buttons right now and i guess i have it coming because i have been so detached from my emotions for a lot of this year and the only times ive allowed myself to actually *feel* i got snapped in the nose by the evil belt of Cruelty but its all good, im a LaVista and we have strong noses.
i didn't nod to my future girlfriend i smiled a non-tooth smile and played it cool.
what about ashley you might ask?
hmmm, what about ashley?
shes looking better than ever. i don't know if shes eating a thing down there behind the orange curtain, cuz she looks thin and tanned and blonder and a tad older in a good way. she has that jennifer jason leigh schoolgirl confidence that i was waiting for, but it isn't working in my favor. i was hoping it would be like the michelle pfiefer way in the first or second Batman, i never can remember these things, where catwoman gets superclose to batman and says something sassy and then says "meow."
i wouldn't mind some of that.
id know where to take it.
and there is something to be said for the fact that ashley and i do know how to communicate in certain situations.
expertly.
when i was a lad the bill russell davey lopes steve garvey ron cey infield got better and better and with steve yeager behind the plate not many players got cheap infield hits but there was a period of time in 77 i believe it was when you could see those guys start to gel defensively (their bats were always good) and gel might be the best way to describe the daisy princess and i in certain matters best left unspoken.
back in 77 i woulda thought that that woulda been enough for a boy and a girl but its snot. not even close.
its warm today in los angeles. theres a brush fire in glendale which from this side of the hill looks much worse.
and all appearances look way different from the other side
especially within these cold walls
of the xbi.
