i'm browsing the paper, drinking coffee and eating a delicious breakfast sandwich that would give a lesser man a heart attack! One of the qualifications for entering The Mayor's "inner circle" is being able to chomp one of these suckers and not drop dead. Granted, they used to be a tad bigger,using a bagel instead of bread, but we are living in more modest times. Perhaps i will call it "TheRecesswich".

i've also got The Golden Compass playing on the TV in the other room. Kidman looks out of this world gorgeous, talking monkeys and bears, man, this could be the film that finally convinces me to drop acid!

Speaking of being on acid, today is going to be the day i rediscover The Giant Lenin Head on the east side of town. Vladdy has been taunting me for a long time now, and i just might release the Cuban cigar that's been imprisoned inside a plastic tube and taunt Fidel's deadhead comrade.
