Today

My original plan for today was to waste a good chunk of it watching Public Enemies, but the cool theater I go to was super-packed. I guess I’ll go tomorrow, when the rest of the country goes to barbecue. I have no other plans. Sigh.

Bookending this disappointment, I spent the morning asleep and watching old movies and I spent the afternoon cruising around town checking out some new places I had not been to yet.

I still get lost.

For lunch I went to the local quirky, probably touristy Tex-Mex joint. I still think Tex-Mex is a middling and lame substitution for my years of upbringing on New Mexican cuisine, but a couple of places I’ve been to actually make a decent chile relleno that’s different from what I’m used to.

This is probably tasty treason.

I’m supposed to spend the entirety of next week in the not-so-fine boredom of some really lousy Houston suburb for work. I fantasize about going AWOL. I think this is a definite problem.

I wish I was good enough, confident enough, to just quit.

This evening I researched the mysteries of the world and wondered if I’m going to figure out what the heck I’m trying to find.

I still can’t write a decent post.
