August 9

  A recent study (last night) of a panel of experts (me) empirically proves (in my opinion) that sleeping on a reclined front seat is superior to backseat sleeping. You keep instinctively trying to get more horizontal than the seat allows, but it beats folding yourself in half in the back. It also helps to be really tired. I actually woke up to daylight this morning.  I know I'm risking discovery and possible arrest by going to the same place every night... but it's the best place around.

  I congratulated myself with a terrible donut from the A&P. Attention shoppers: we made this pathetic excuse for a chocolate burger by covering an already piss-poor donut with Magic Shell. Side note, although CBs are my favorite donuts, it just occurred to me that I've never heard anybody else call them that. Is this a Cleveland thing or just a me-and-my-mom thing? This is, well, a graphic rendering of the product in question, because looking at a real picture makes me too sad that I don't have one in my hand right now. Essentially it's a hole-less donut glazed in chocolate and filled with cream. I'm aware that a bastardized version exists in which custard is the filling, but I refuse to even discuss such a thing.

  Maybe a housesitting job in the next county for next week... oh please please please!

  Just got off the phone with my mom, who asked why I don't say much when I call her. I think it's probably because I can't keep straight all the lies I'm telling her. I feel a member of the BSC in any of the Super Specials where every chapter opened with a cheerful postcard to family re: the weather, the kids, missing them, etc., then immediately transitioned into "There's so much I didn't tell my parents!" with the baby-sitters being shipwrecked, or the inn being haunted, or Stacey being seduced by eighteen-year-old lifeguards. Maybe I'll have more to say when I feel like less of a bum / secret agent.

  I'm making a list of everything I want to do in Nash when I get back. It starts with 1) sleep forever, 2) take a bath... forever, 3) watch some SNL, 4) eat chocolate pretzels, and 5) see T&B and hopefully C.

  In the mean time, check out this trailer for an awesome short film that will never be finished:
