I WILL BRING IT TO WORKSHOP NEXT THURSDAY smartypantsmimi: Want to meet Nora in Mongolia? She's still talking about it. You could take her on a field trip. X-RAYS OF THE HEAD SHOWED NOTHING My CT scan came back negative. Well, it came back negative for cancer or other abnormalities---I am pretty sure it was positive for organs. The doctors probably would have mentioned it if I had turned out to be completely hollow inside or filled with sausage and cheese like a calzone. Now I am supposed to see the urologist and do more weird tests to try and find out why I pee blood. I am pretty unenthusiastic about this. I suppose that technically I don't want to pee blood, but since it is causing me no difficulty whatsoever can't we all just agree to ignore that particular lab result? Also, I looked up this urologist online. His picture makes him look like a Lincoln Park frat boy, and I deduced from his graduation dates that he is almost exactly my age. The idea of a Lincoln Park frat boy poking around my pee-pee parts contributes greatly to my non-enthusiasm, but I guess I will keep the appointment for the time being. Maybe we can go out for Jaeger shots afterwards. DO YOU TAKE THIS SMARTYPANTS Eleven years ago today, LT was in a university chapel receiving his masters' degree and I was sweating to death in the audience and watching a pigeon poop on some old man's head. The chapel ceilings were so high that the pigeon poop descended almost in slow motion, with a terrifying sense of the inevitable. It is just about the only thing I remember clearly from that day. Eleven years ago tomorrow, LT and I got married. I remember a lot more things from that day, like getting teary at the ceremony, my gigantic florist-had-a-manic-episode bouquet, the amazingly delicious grilled cheese that I ate at the bowling alley during our post-reception after-party. I look at those pictures and marvel at how young and skinny we were. Also that here we are, after all the job changes, apartments (including overseas ones), inside jokes, and big decisions. After parenthood, after our amazing daughter who somehow seems both wholly herself and an output of LT + Mimi despite not being genetically related. We're still married and plan to stay that way. Even though he has a normal attitude toward spending money and I have an unfortunate tendency to hoard every dime, even though he gets into bed only to fuck or to sleep while I consider it a great place for lengthy lights-out conversation, even though he tells me the scrotum is a noble sac while I believe it disproves the existence of god. Even though he wants to take Nora camping. I still dig that guy. (I certainly hope your anti-nausea pills have kicked in by now. Take cover! Incoming Sap Attack!) COMMUNICATION IS NOITACINUMMOC SPELLED BACKWARDS Nora: Can you write down MISO SOUP on this piece of paper? Fuck it, I give up! Watch out, restaurant industry, because a revolution in order-taking is brewing. Henceforth patrons will arrive with pockets full of tiny slips of construction paper with FILET MIGNON or TWO EGGS OVER EASY or SKATE WING WITH BLACK BUTTER, GARLIC, AND ARUGULA crayoned on them in advance. ---mimi smartypants should have been a pair of ragged claws. back/forward |
