Sorry to have dropped off the face of the earth, but I have been busy working. Lots of work, little time to come here and make smartass cracks about everything. I was really having a tough time with a “project” but I think that I finally got my bearings on it. This is a great feeling, even though it is nothing more than relief. What is relief compared to the joy of supremacy, mastery, whatever. No, thanks, I’ll settle with just getting by.
I did get a chance to go to Harvard Square the other night to score some Luxemburgers for my wife. She is in the process of changing her name for the third time. I have been instructed not to mention her old name, since it embarasses her. It’s confusing for me too, although I have to say it does add variety. If I can’t be a polygamist, the confusion arising from my wife’s multiple personalities at least sometimes gives me the look and feel of one, at least inwardly. Don’t get to the square too often anymore. It was nice to see a crisp new Citizen’s bank in place of where all of those grubby little shops used to be. I also noted that Newbury Comics was pretty deserted, probably owing to music downloading. My how things change. For old times sake, I grabbed a schedule from the Brattle (even though I can get it online now). Nothing good was playing. Passing the ART I made the observation (to no one in particular) that almost all of the promo posters were of semi naked bodies.
In my day…
“Newbury Comics was pretty deserted, probably owing to music downloading.” I’d attribute it more to music downgrading.
“I grabbed a schedule from the Brattle (even though I can get it online now). Nothing good was playing.” I beg your pardon? A whole week of Bugs Bunny cartoons!
