The woman conducting the MRI on me today said I could ask most of those questions to the radiologist. I made some dumb joke about him saying he'd never seen a brain so big and she told me they were normally the size of the skull. They just fit right in the skull - with a small amount of spinal fluid acting as padding. Then she said "well, sometimes, in..." she lowered her voice, "elderly people", normal volume, "they can be..." and she made her hands represent something the size of a grapefruit "...smaller". They atrophy and shrink. Shrink right up inside their skulls.

Javier from my work told me he had too many beers last night. I asked if he was drinking here but he said no with a face that said "pshhhh hell no". He said "I buy my case and then drink at my house by myself". Everyone else is chumps I thought. looked down the bar and at each face said to my self chump, chump, chump, chump.

I think about this all the time.

Try again tomorrow.

I read somewhere once about a tribal ritual where upon becoming a woman, the elder women in the tribe took you into a little hut and pulled out all the hairs on your head one by one. That seems like it would feel really good/make me feel better right now.

I like to look at the "casual encounters" section of craigslist. I like to think about these encounters happening all around me without me knowing. Today there was a man requesting a blow job in the bathroom of Sears. You had to be there to give it to him at 3:00 sharp because he only had 15 minutes. How demanding I thought, "how demanding!!!" I hope another man thought.
