the week behind

has been rather a rollercoaster.

excellent interviews with human rights epidemiologist Les Roberts, comedienne Suzanne Westenhoefer, UT-Austin psychology professor Bob Josephs, author and Semisonic drummer Jake Slichter, former Florida congressional candidate Jay McGovern, Eastern Michigan University basketball coach Charles Ramsey, composer Jake Heggie and political cartoonist Dan Perkins (a/k/a Tom Tomorrow), all since Tuesday morning.

very, very good friends in town with visits to the Museum of Modern Art and a wonderful meal at Fishtail by David Burke.

and Duke lost.

but there also have been some reversals, some about-faces, some misdirections and a heaviness that results in fruit so low-hanging that you end up dazed, bruised about the forehead for simply attempting to pass through the orchard.
and so the weight, at least for now, trumps the warmth.
and yes, that's probably my fault, my doing, but to be fair I did take my coping mechanism in for repairs two, maybe three weeks ago and the last time I called the woman who answered the phone said they were still waiting for a part to come in.

last movie I ever saw: It's Kind of a Funny Story
last book I ever read: Jacob Slichter's So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star
last book I ever wrote: the Tusk book
if I was bi-polar and required to have two theme songs alternately play as I walked through the streets of Manhattan: "Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie and "The Only Living Boy in New York" by Simon & Garfunkel
