| Money is money, but I've been spending too much time in front of a computer lately, so I went out for a walk late this morning. I wandered aimlessly, enjoying the nice weather, and eventually made my way downtown. Being downtown reminded me of the cool old steam tunnels running just below the streets. The tunnels, being extremely cool and creepy, and no longer accessible, made me even more depressed than I already was. I was sitting on a bench by the Ecolab building, wallowing in misery when a preppie in a power suit gave me two bucks in change. I wanted to chase after him, give the money back, and explain to him that I'm not homeless and don't need his charity, but then I remembered that I hadn't showered this morning and probably looked pretty bad, with my greasy hair, fuzz-covered face, faded jeans and an Incredible Hulk t-shirt, so I didn't.
I woke up this morning when the alarm went off. I opened one eye, looked around, then carefully sat up and surveyed my tiny, cat-free bedroom. In an excellent mood, I got up and headed to the bathroom, only to discover a tan kitten drinking out of my toilet bowl. The hell with a shower. I went back into the bedroom, grabbed some clothes and got dressed in a hurry, then headed out the door with a handful of Oreos for breakfast.
It was windy downtown, and I was embarassed by my appearance, so I headed up the street to Bruegger's and bought a bagel with the money from the preppie, then ate it on the way home. Along the way, I passed the campus of Metropolitan State University and it's towering, 1930's library building that I've been meaning to visit, but I didn't go in. There were no cats to be found when I got home.
I haven't gotten any mail, not even junk mail, in days. I wonder if one of those three- or four-letter government agencies is intercepting it, and, if so, what they make of my long-awaited catalog of mail-order brides from Estonia?
Had a couple of hot dogs for dinner, played Crazy Taxi for an hour or so, then went to bed exhausted, both mentally and physically.
