I'm improvising a curry from chickpeas, buttermilk, onions, carrots, and a yam, plus this extra spicy channa masala mix I have, because I'd like to finish some of the things that are in my fridgerator before I go home on Tuesday. This could be good or it could be very bad.

I have an interview over the phone with the AmeriCorps people this afternoon and I still have phone ear from work last night. What is phone ear? asks the uninitiated. Phone ear is the feeling in your ear canal you get when you spend a lot of time holding a phone to your ear. I'm popping my ears a lot in preparation.

You've got to like a quiz with these questions and answers

"You are a criminal mastermind with thousands of minions in your thrall. What is your nefarious plan?"
-'To make it possible to get a good bagel outside of a few isolated neighborhoods in New York. I mean a real bagel made with high-gluten flour, not one of those blueberry abominations with the consistency of a Twinkie.'
-'Just once, when a super-secret agent is in my clutches, I want to remember to hang around and make sure he really does get devoured by rabid anchovies as per my plan.'


You are a cappuccino, sipped in the afternoon,
after sex.

You are not trendy; you set trends for others. You
wear black or nothing, and your playlist
alternates Mahler with bands no one else has
heard of. You read Rimbaud in public places,
and you have a vintage poster for La Dolce
Vita hanging over your bed. You pepper
your conversation with quotes from obscure
Jacobean revenge tragedies, and you cackle to
yourself when your lovers assume that you are
quoting I Love Lucy. Your glasses have
designer frames and you do not need them to
see.
