+ boiling a half-dozen eggs right now. Some for tomorrow’s breakfast (in the style of a European inn), some for when I need quick protein in the morning.

+ this morning I bought Radiohead’s new album. They are one of my top five all time musical artists. Interested to see what kind of evolutionary direction they have moved into this time around. I thought In Rainbows was a masterpiece and I never tire of listening to it. That goes for Ok Computer, too.

+ Yesterday at the grocery store I saw a young man who was missing his right ear. There was a little bit of something remaining, just a bumpy fold of flesh. I felt like a weirdo for staring. But, you know, that “book” I’m “writing” features a similar protagonist, so I couldn’t help being fascinated to see this in person. I wondered what happened to him.
