Well, I am definitely not visable in the "Losing Grip" video. Nobody really is, actually. The part where I am standing, over on the right at the back, is pretty much blurred out. I guess that's the "movie magic" one of the crew members was talking about: blur the edges of the crowd to make 200 people look like 500 people. Why can't I get scouted for a Depeche Mode video? A Blur video?

G went to a Taco Bell the other day near our apt. to get two bean and cheese burritos. The women asked if he wanted pinto, and he said yes, thinking it was kind of weird she'd asked because he didn't think they had any other kind of bean. So anyway, she comes back with two styrofoam cups with lids on them, full of this sloppy bean and cheese and hot sauce mixture. He's like "What is this?!" and the women said you asked for pinto, right? I mean, the whole thing was so utterly unbelievable. Finally the MANAGER had to get him his bean and cheese burritos. It is impossible to shop or go out to eat anywhere in this city without it turning into a situation.

Walking to the train after brunch on Sunday, all rosy from the mimosas our waitress gave us on the house, there was a woman walking towards us using a cane. She was kind of heavy and her legs looked all twisted up, but she was still managing to walk. All of a sudden she stops walking, starts convulsing and falls on the sidewalk right in front of us, all sprawled out and cane clattering on the cement. So G walked over to her and helped her up (asking first if she was ok and if she even needed help before he touched her or anything), and she said thanks and just kept walking. I sobered up immediately after that.
