my trip back from san francisco took me on public transportation again

then to SFO

and on the long island railroad train back to penn station (here it is early on new year's eve):

and then, for ridiculous reasons (composers spend an inordinate amount of time at the post office), i had to mail an express package on new year's eve at around 5pm at the main post office:

a very public few days, a delicious collection resulted:
How? By making him call me 500 times?
I'm gonna tell him I was in the shower.
I mean, whatever - it's not my problem.
When outside frigo, you like to stay over here.
She's making dinner for everyone but I think it might have cheese in it.
You think she's really skinny?
I got a call from your brother.
You know what else we do to shut them up?
I'm losing my appetite really quickly.
Two weeks ago she did a lot of stuff. Did you notice?
Hey I didn't read the fine print -- is it strangers only? Of these quotes, only the first one here is a stranger overheard. Every other one was someone I know saying something that I jotted down for some reason...
"Piano’s is great but it’s small so you can’t see bands you like, cuz it’ll be really crowded; if you’ve heard of the band you shouldn’t go."
"That’s totally retro 1940’s -- she’s really up to date."
"That nose is a red herring."
"Anything that can get knotted can get unknotted."
"Dude, a lot of PEOPLE couldn’t pass a fucking Turing Test."
"Mi mayo (mayonaise) es tu mayo."
"Not while I'm eating okay? Change the station. I don't want to hear about Abu Ghraib, I don't want to hear about Bush. It makes my stomach churn; I just want to eat my lunch."
