Listen
David Bowie - Fame
After spending most of my day in Hollywood, this song feels very appropriate.
A man walks into a deli...
I had lunch at an Italian deli today. While waiting in line to order, I watched the man ahead of me spend almost ten minutes trying to order a chicken quesadilla. The staff was understandably confused and the man grew increasingly exasperated and frustrated. After an exhausting conversation, one staff member realized he was trying to order the chicken cacciatore.
I laughed heartily at the comedy or errors that just played out before me. After composing myself, I stepped up to the counter and placed my order. “Hah! Can you believe that guy? Crazy..haha..so crazy. ANYWAY, I’ll have a carnitas burrito, side of guacamole and…do you guys have horchata? If so, I’ll have a horchata.”
And then they kicked me out of the store and told me never to come back.

I am not joking when I say that I have been intermittently and involuntarily rapping this song throughout my workdays for the past week and a half. I’m beginning to think this is a serious problem. But then I think I’ve practiced so much that I’d be good enough to join the group with Layzie, Krayzie, Bizzy and Wish. If I got accepted, I’d change my name to “The Rozetta Bone”.
“Aggghhhh!!! Hot lime juice in my eyes! In my eyes!! MY EYES!!! It burns! It burns so much! Please help! Where is faucet?! Need water! So much burn in eyes! Need water for eyes! Stop citrus fire pain!”
—Me, enjoying a nice, peaceful lunch
