Lexiconings, or the definition of an "in joke".

"It's a rather microscopic region of colloquial vernacular." -- "Cellar door" it is not.

a mostly unproductive analytical concept

today i think my work is managing controlled mistakes:

step1-fill hands with paint

step2-fling hands in air

step3-watch paint (hopefully) land on painting surface

step4-stare at surface for an amount of time

step5-fix everything wrong with surface

step6-repeat steps 1-5 until complete, broken, or completely broken

the only part of this process that allows for my input is the hope of step3

Wild Irish Rose

I've lived in this Brooklyn apartment for 222 days now. Every morning the block wino has started his day on one of the street's stoops (usually mine) with a fifth of Wild Irish Rose in a paper bag. He's there by nine every morning, has no front teeth, can barely speak, and has been apparently homeless since the old laundromat around the corner shut down after the owner's husband died.

Every time I step in or out of my building I recieve the exact same wave - a lifting of the spindly left hand that appears to require all of the energy conserved since my last passing. His right hand remains wrapped loosely around the bagged bottle in his lap, often hours after it's been emptied. Accompanying the wave is a vague whisper that escapes the gap in his teeth. It's mostly a heavy breath out with slight vocal manipulation. It took me over a month of these passings to realize that he's saying "alright".

I'd like to see him when he was my age.

Job hunting on Craigslist never lets me down.

Needed: One Unstructured Men's Jacket (original) (New York)

Date: 2009-04-10, 1:05PM EDT

I am an extra large man searching for an in-expensive unstructured cotton jacket to be created for me to wear in the summertime. 
Looking for a beginning designer searching to make a few extra bucks by creating a very simple, cotton, unlined, lightweight, unstructured jacket. 
I am a regular size 58 portly long. I would like something very lightweight that can be rolled in an overnight bag. Packed away to far off hot lands and worn despite its wrinkles. 
And, I'm looking to do this for $100 total plus shipping. 

yep.

yep.
