Friday. Met up with A&W to get some Rai Rai Ken ramen noodles. Then went to their place to drink a few beers, listen to some records and talk about why people throw trash on the ground and smash things instead of throwing trash into trashcans and not smashing things. Went on to meet Carolyn and Co. at Bonita in Ft. Greene. I’d never been there, but it resembles the W’burg one closely. Hopefully they don’t have a clone of the one stupid waitress that has caused me to boycott the Bedford one. Walked about that neighborhood looking for a place to get a drink but ended up not cause something just didn’t feel right.

When I woke up on Saturday I’d figured it out, I’d caught a cold. I barreled through and went to w’burg for the afternoon, shopped, ate at Relish (good food, poor service), went home and slept a lot. Felt better by Sunday. Back in the Ft. Greene area we gave a man $4 for a coconut, which he lopped the top off of and stuck some straws in it for drinking. Coconut milk tastes like milk with some water added. Then went to see some French cinema at BAM. Good shows, most of them kind of dark. Had some fancy pizza after that. On Monday I accidentally stole some soap from Whole Foods.

I been listening to a lot of podcasts about this financial crisis. I can listen no more. Well, I keep saying I can’t, but then I do. In time I think we’ll get back to sort of normal, I’m leaving my investments as is. Now, I’m pondering what our government could have done with that $700,000,000,000.00 — yeah, we’re supposed to get it back, but do you really think that the govermnent is effecient enough to keep track of all this shit they’re buying? If you’ve ever been to the post office, you’ve seen the level of ambition they’ll put into keeping everything straight.
