is the word 'diary' better than the word 'blog'? probably not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- timing. Once, at Dave Eggers' wedding, I was walking down a hallway in a party facility, looking for a restroom, when, all of a sudden, I realized that Jonathan Richman was standing against the wall strumming a guitar, watching me walk by. I stopped, looked and laughed. I wanted to say a bunch of things to him but the first thing I thought of was a complicated observation about Jean-Jacques Rousseau and social conventions, which seemed too weird. So I said, "Wow, you make me feel like I'm in a movie that doesn't suck." He smiled, ever so slightly. And then I walked away, because I have a sense of how long a story is supposed to last. 12:49 a.m. - September 11, 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
