I have one good thing to report and that’s that my back and legs are relatively ok today, provided I am not sitting in a shitty office chair. Awesome. Which means this entry is gonna be real short.

Two other things from today that were gross:

1. Some dude standing right next to me on the train sneezes into his hand. Then WIPES his hand on the pole which I am holding on to. I stare and can see the steel pole now glistening with nasal dew. I move far, far away. WTF is wrong with people. Seriously.

2. After a nice meal of marinated seared pork chop and homemade applesauce, I am still a wee bit hungry. So I decide to try the “low carb” pasta I bought last week. Apparently it’s a “lemon pepper fettucine” with 75% fewer carbs. Uh huh. Except it tastes like softened chunks of warm paper. Salt and pepper did not help, nor did the incredibly mediocre alfredo sauce I dumped into it. I hated to do it, but the rest of the package was put into the wastebin. That’s just going. Too. Far.

I have now watched all nine parts of Ken Burns’ “Baseball” documentary. I give it an A-. That’s pretty good for 18 hours of programming. I guess there’s a tenth disc with some bonus stuff. I’ll check it out when Netflix sends it to me, and hope it’s not more over-the-top treacly Billy Crystal and his “beloved” Yankees. Yanks suck, dude.

Ah it is getting late. I am going to stretch and go to bed.
