speaking of shoes

I'M SO OBSESSED WITH THIS

apparently i've never met krissy

i was wearing these shoes last night and she says 'how are these a stephanie shoe at all???'

before i could regain my power of speech denise kindly chirped 'what are you even saying??? have you met her?'

thank you to a real friend.

the new rolling stone.

while i don't love the new size, this month's rs is full to the brim with awesome articles. in particular there's an article about David Foster Wallace that I just bawled my eyes out to as I was finishing it up on the subway this a.m.

..which is so hot.

speaking of a stoned rat somewhere in my apartment...

i have a mouse*

so disgusting. i saw it this morning. and then i went to unpack one of my many un-unpacked weekend bags and there were plastic shredded pieces all over my stuff and a hole in this container of my dogs food. yuck. mouse fur touched my clothes. i wonder if it sits in my bed and reads my alloy catalogs when i'm not there.




also in the bag was my stock of psychadelic drugs, which definitely wasn't this empty.


somewhere in my house there is a very stoned mouse.

*i was at krissy's house last night and was very professionally informed by denise that i, in fact, have a rat, not a mouse, as only a rat could've chewed through my tupperware. really? great.

there's no place like home.

i could do this for a living for a while probably.

this is what love looks like this week.

...or always.

i'm not alone

apparently my sister is a total babe as a dude too.

subway musicians.

i tapped a serious toe to these guys.


fuck a piano. xylophones are something else in the sooth dept. and watching someone play? pffff it's like watching a fireplace. shit is hypnotic.

ok one:

get out there guys. look at the rampant ignorance. phone bank phone bank phone bank.

my ups guy should be the one on the ups splash page. he is such a seriously on top of it dude. this guy looks like a cartoon drawing of a doofus.

this american life

as i mentioned yesterday, i listened to the new this american life and was really touched. the first segment was a story by keren sosnoski, a mother of a child with mosaic down syndrome. she was reporting on another woman, kristy colvin, and her 'radical' child rearing method for her son, tim who was also born with mosaic down syndrome - she chose not to tell him or any of his teachers. sounds a bit risky. but under the circumstances i strongly agree with her decisions.

a child with mosaic down syndrome can look just like everyone else, but struggle with the mental difficulties of the disease; or they could have all the physical characteristics of down syndrome but have a high i.q.; or the possibility for combinations and variations are endless. a very confusing and elusive disease to say the least.

so then what to do when you have a child whose looks are very minorly affected, and possesses a relatively high i.q.? what do you do when, after you tell a teacher your child's situation and advise them that he doesn't need to be treated as if he were hampered in any way, they turn around and fail to discipline him for fear that would upset them?

tim is almost 20 now. his mother decided to tell him about his disease when he was 13. he spoke about the decision and how he felt when he was told:

keren sosnoski: what came into your mind?

tim colvin: storm, cyclops, rogue, the x-men.

t.a.l.: why did x-men come into your mind?

tim: because the x-men are mutants - genetic. they gain those genetic problems. and that's what i felt like. i felt like an x-men and i thought that was kinda cool.

[cue: misty-eyedness.]

tim went on to speak about how he and his mother will have to change now that he's getting older:

tim: my mother is being a control freak right now. i'm going to be 20 this may. it's time i started to be a bit more independent. when i leave this house i plan to never wash dishes again.

t.a.l.: who's gonna wash them?

tim: my wife. [laughing] i kid...'m kidding. i'll have the kids do it. [more laughing]

[cue: real crying.]

why have i never seen a bus accident?

well now i have! and while inside of it no less! so scary.

also i think i was having the conversation maybe 2 hours before how, given the fact that new york city bus drivers are probably some of the worst drivers on the earth, it's strange i've never seen one in an accident.

dear god,
i wasn't saying that i needed to
see one...it was just a passing remark. relax!
