Grumble
Hey Blogioticians,
I'm still kinda sick, and being sick sucks.
But I am getting better.
I made a conscious decision not to do any barbells or stuff like that til I feel better. My throat still feels raw and my head still hurts right now.
The episode of Prison Break last night indicates that the producers intend to make the show more complicated than a Wedding on Home and Away.
Also: every so often I'll be walking along the Leytonstone High Road and I'll see a girl with a blonde betty-page haircut (it was brunette until august or september but she changed it overnight), who always wears a tweed coat. I'm sure I've seen her on the High Road as longas I've been in Leytonstone. I've thought of striking up a conversation with her, but since she seems to make such a concerted effort to avoid eye contact, I figure it's probably a good idea to pretend not to see her, just like she always seems to pretend no to see me.
I don't make any effort to find this girl, I just see her on the High Road every now and again whenever she is walking the other way. Sometimes its two days in a row, sometimes I don't see her for a month. She interests me as a local artefact because she is an island of modish style in this sea of Chavness that is Leytonstone.
In any case, today I saw the Girl With the Tweed Coat. Only she was wearing a midnight blue crush velvet coat, tied with a matching belt. For a moment I was tempted to say 'Ha! New Coat!', but I thought better of it.
I am reluctant to talk to her, because when people react badly to me, they react really badly. Considering that I am basically a walking violation of myriad folkways at the best of times, I try to tread carefully when the potential is there for something to go really sideways.
So I just picked a point in the middle distance, somewhere up and to the left, and fixed my view there til she was well past me. I wasn't game to break folkways today.
That and my hair was a mess.
Anyways, tomorrow I should be back to full health. Unfortunately the job interview was postponed, but I will get a call before Saturday to let me know when it will be postponed to.
Over and out.
