i've had a lot of coffee, possibly too much since i am STILL drinking coffee. three cups before i left the house, now i'm drinking a grande! exciting. i'm in the middle of a creative explosion and i would like to go home and explode but i must suffer this propriety for another four and a half hours before that can happen. i am anchoring and cultivating my explosion while i am here so i don't lose it by the time i go home. hence the continued drinking of coffee. yesterday i broke my own rules and had not only a cigarette (because i decided when i came back from vacation i would attempt to stop smoking again) but ALSO a cherry coke. however, it was a cherry coke zero which i learned, like fresca, does not have high fructose corn syrup. but it does have aspartame. so what am i gonna do. oh well, this is informational but no one cares.

i should really start carrying that dictionary with me wherever i go. that's why it's called a POCKET dictionary and not a BOOKSHELF dictionary.

this just in: if, for november, i end up writing the cohesive idea i came up with on the way to work, then: LAWRENCE FLOWERS WILL FINALLY HAVE HIS DAY.
