Two weeks ago a dropped a baked potato in my kitchen. Then I missed trash day because I thought Yom Kippur was a national holiday. Tomorrow it's trash day again. I'll miss how wonderful my garbage smells.

Last night, my friend and I got up on stage and pretended we were a certain speckled alien math-jazz duo, and just absolutely shredded. People went bonks for it. The real band, now free of their ropes, shook our hands as we left the stage. Thank you, they said, in their language of honks.

Nobody has replied to my emails, texts, singnals or bskys today. If I've been Leftoversed I will be so upset. You're telling me Jon Solomon got Leftoversed and I didn't? Not a chance.
