On Second Thought...
I don't know what I was smoking the other day, but clearly my idea to write about all my interests individually is quite a silly one. I'm not 12, and this isn't MySpace. If you have any questions about my interests, you can always email me.

Sometimes I feel like I'm twelve, other times I act like I'm twelve.
There's a restaurant here in NYC that only serves rice pudding. The entrance is shaped like a grain of rice. The owner believes that rice pudding is the new ice cream, and that soon there will be rice pudding shops on every corner/will be sold from trucks/will have nursery rhymes based upon it. I'd written "The owner is under the delusion that..." but upon further thought, rice pudding makes more sense than ice cream. Less seasonal.
You're funny. I feel as if I wrote this entry. And re interests, I'm still pretty proud of mine ("reeling, writhing and fainting in coils"). I resisted listing any at all for a while because it indeed felt "MySpacish", or at least "Tiger Beatish". Not like I've ever been to MySpace or read Tiger Beat, of course....
And btw,I wrote a nice long comment on a recent entry of yours, only to have it trashed by Blogger Beta because I hadn't signed into my Google account. I was too @&#%* pissed to rewrite, but just thought I'd let you know I was paying attention.
autumn- Wow, New York really does have everything then. I'm not sure I share the proprietor's optimism for my favorite dessert (ice cream is a heavy hitting contender) but my love for the stuff is unlikely to wane.
Hulles-I think your frustration with Blogger puts you in good company, I've had more than one decent post lost because of various issues. And the fact that it's a free service doesn't prevent me from bitching about it from time to time. Thanks for the kudos though, especially given your admitted preference for the writing of the fairer sex.
Thanks for the recommendation Pepe, just picked it up and read it in about two hours, reminded me of Ishmael. Perhaps we will soon be able to do what the author recommends and discuss the contents over a tasty beverage? Also read Camus' "The Fall" which reminded me a lot of Dostoyevsky's "Notes from Underground." I liked both of them very much.
Seems to me the name Castenada rings a bell but I haven't read any of his works. Also just finished "The Castle" by Kafka which may be the best novel I've ever read. It falls in line with the same topics Camus, Sartre and Dostoyevski write about... alienation, absurdity of life, etc. Also Milan Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness of Being" is tremendous. Both he and Nabokov have only the highest praise for Kafka and now I see why.
I know what you're smoking...

If it taint smokin' I don't want anything to do with it.
