The Deep Freeze

We got cable this weekend. It's too much. Just surfing through the programming guide to find out what's on requires too large an effort. I don't have the energy. That doesn't stop me from watching way too much tv. It has a life of its own. I can't stop. I watched hours of a WifeSwap marathon. I can't stop.

The apartment is coming together. The living room is pretty much done. The job is rolling along.

Tomorrow is Primary Day here in Massachusetts. I still haven't decided. I watched a debate last week or so. It was boring. These things tend to be.

I just hit the tipping point in Augie March. You know, where all the description gives way to profundity. Pretty good. Still too long.

It was a beautiful weekend. Pity I was glued to the tube.

I love S&S. It's my favorite. I go there for the matzah ball soup and hot pastrami on marble rye. Same thing every time. The soup comes with a glass plate on it to keep the vapors in. It's glorious. But only one matzah ball is a little skimpy.

Going to a concert tomorrow night. Drive-By Truckers. Not that familiar, but a friend has an extra ticket and it's cheap. They're from Athens, natch. I hate natch, but this blog hasn't met its natch quota. I'm afraid I might get thrown out of the blogosphere if I don't meet this quota. They'd probably hire some natch scabs.

I hate our couch. There was a mixup and we got the wrong couch. We don't get the right one until Oct. 1. The wrong one is fake leather. And it smells like it.

Huey's in Nash Vegas for a week. Bobeena and I are left to our own devices. We'll probably starve. Pray for us. Actually, I think we'll be ok. Our scarily religious "Catholic Wall" will protect us. It must be seen to be believed. An El Greco Crucifixion painting, Duccio's Madonna and Child, an illuminated manuscript print dubbed "The Sassy Saint," Bolivian clay angels, and a shelf with a figurine, rosaries, and candles. It's quite something. Man, I hope I'm not on the wrong side of this whole sacrilege sacrilege thing. I'm pretty sure I have nothing to worry about. Right?
