Lightning lit up the land this morning and I got a really embarrassing brown streak down the back of my light beige shorts. The uptown waters and detritus form the avenue have painted me into a corner. I need a splash guard on my rear wheel in a bad way. I don’t think I’ll be able to walk the halls of work today until my shorts dry.

Yesterday, when my shorts were a lot dryer, I did some work for Dave the printer who works a large scale printing operation just down the hall in my building. He had a large job for Payless Shoes, which demanded that he cut out about 500 tiny little feet that Payless would then use to stick on the ground so that customers would be able to find their way to savings by following these little footprints. So I took a break from reading about the the little ZipZaps at Radio Shack that I’m going to buy for my Homies to cruise around in, and made time to cut out about 200 of the little feet. Really rewarding work. Turns out I’m really skilled with an x-acto knife. So Payless is really my art gallery and you should all make time to go check out my work, say in about three weeks. While you’re there, see if they have these shoes that I want. He paid me in gift certificates to Hell’s Kitchen, and I’m going to go there for lunch today and sample their foodstuffs. The whole aesthetic of the joint is Ralph Steadman.
