Red Letter Day
Why is today a Red Letter Day? Let us count the ways.
- Unlike last week, the temperature outside is somewhat cooler than the surface of the sun.
- I had mushroom soup for lunch. Although honestly, I didn't finish it. The Monday Morning Cafeteria Menu email advertised “Wild Forest Mushroom Soup.” But what was in the pot was “Grocery Store Produce Aisle Soup.” Which I suppose is better than “Canned Goods Aisle Mushroom Soup,” but just barely.
- Unless my fancy digital scale is somehow malfunctioning, I am, as of this morning, 15 pounds below my standard “My weight hasn't changed since 1995″ level. Presumably I have some kind of horrible disease eating away at me from the inside, because I certainly haven't changed my lifestyle at all.
- I think Rescue Me is on tonight. Or maybe not. I'm not sure. Whatever. Tivo handles my schedule.
- And finally, today is a Red Letter Day because, although you'll just have to take my word for it, I wrote this post in red pen in my Moleskine notebook over lunch.
Moving on… I've gotten into listening to podcasts in the last few months. I guess I started to get bored with my own music collection. Anyway, go check out The Hollywood Podcast. It has very little really to do with the Hollywood on TV; he's got some really great interviews with various people trying to make a living in Hollywood, and with a few people who are “successful,” but the best stuff has nothing to do with any of that. He makes me almost want to quit my job, move into some shitty apartment, and have dreams again. Just go check it out.
