I went to Save-0n. Which is kinda like a Rite Aid, which is kinda like a CVS. Had to get some stuff. A Mennen Speed Stick and a dish rack. I know. So I'm waiting at the cashier and the aboriginal looking Philippino Grandma and Granddaughter teen were buying lotto tickets. There was a problem. The cashier had printed out the wrong kind of tickets. After a half an hour they got it straightened out. My turn. The cashier asked me if I wanted the tickets (for face value, no discount). I thought, if the-straight-outta-central-casti... fortune-telling-looking-grandma and her grandkid don't want them, I don't want them. I said no. Then, I walked out AND using the pay phone in the parking lot (who uses pay phones these days?) - is Wayne - the big Iowan ex-cop now game inventor. He had dark glasses on, looked like he was whispering. He gave me the 'thumbs-up'.
Connecting the dots, I thought maybe I should have bought the lotto tickets, or should be happy I didn't. I'm not sure. Thats why I writing this.
Speaking of which, the English chick called me, love the way she says “PeeTAH”. She was actually once in a Harem in Saudi Arabia – no shit. Ok, I called her – so sue me. Busted the neighbor’s chops about the DNC – check. The neighbor said she had a Republican over and now the Republican is going to vote for Kerry. I asked if there was food involved in this alleged conversion. She told me about her email blog. I tried to tell her, its more of a newsletter because a blog is on the weB – that the B in “web” is where the B in blog ... geez I even find myself tiresome. Tell you one thing, you can’t teach these 40-somethings anything (ha! Mr.Randcorp).
Gidget emailed me today and said something about "fun in the sun...no, not Tahiti...yet" – we’re fantasizing about Bora-bora together – splitsville baby. Said she moved here ten years ago and 'sbeen trying to get out since. Did I tell you she smelled just like butterscotch pudding.?
Later, I'm sitting at the deli outside and Patrick McGoohan walks by gets into a 15 year beat up teal green Integra. Mr. Secret Agent man! Looked more like Mr. Decrepit Aging Man. The Prisoner is back on TV - Fridays on BBC America after The Avengers and The Saint. Apparently he's been in a coupla movies over the last 30 years (Braveheart for one). I would've guessed he was dead. I will keep an eye out for him. I gots some questions. Like "Which are you again? number 6 or number 2?" I had runny eggs and rye toast. No one noticed.
