Free Lunch


There is such a thing! I was walking to the metro station while a sushi place was closing down for the day and one of the employees stopped me on the street and invited me to pick out a free take-away box. I got a salmon roll and it was delicious. After eating that I was getting thirsty, and there was an Orangina promotional van on the sidewalk giving away free mini-bottles. It was amazing. I was kind of mad at Orangina for their gross ads featuring sexualized and anthropomorphized animals/plants, but now that I got that free drink from them I think I'm going to call it even.

My eventual destination was the library, but I gave up on that because the line to get in was three hours long. I don’t know why it’s so popular; I went back today and got in after a mere forty-minute wait and it was a pretty typical library. I heard a couple talking behind me excitedly about what they were going to do in the library; the girl was going to work on revising a paper and the guy was going to find something fun to read. That was really cute.

Hey Rina: I haven't read your stuff in a long time. This is extremely great stuff, as usual. You sound like you're not as sick. Excellent.

Love, Howard
