(it's mostly clean in there.) when i was volunteering at the manhattan cocktail classic a few years ago, i ended up sharing lunch with the catering staff back in the astor center kitchen. the way they dismantled and fed each other (and me) pizza was a marvelous thing: it was like a water ballet performed by pirahnas.<br /><br />MDF, i smell a rap collective. while it's no "either these drapes go or i do," "i don't know who you are, but i need to be out of these pants" is a pretty good last line.<br /><br />jacob, it's somehow appropriate that the best other case of "don't you know who i am?" i know involves a men's room at a random manhattan club and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108330/" rel="nofollow">leonardo dicaprio</a>. kidchampnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-78564372241315027832011-02-22T18:09:15.000-08:002011-02-22T18:09:15.000-08:00Elena S. used to talk about "Tobi."

Such is their power.<br /><br />I think I was going to mention something about how interesting it is to think about the memoirist vs. the person living the moment. Do you know, I took an entire class on memoir in college and I don't think we ever discussed that issue? Although usually, it's very clearly the memoirist throughout,<br /><br />I don't know.

Cut out words, increase feeling. Which brings up the point that all of this may be my own issue with the cheating of others.Amid Privilegenoreply@blogger.com
