tonight was a trip to canter’s deli. it’s a comfortable place, and the sandwiches were nice and thick. little bit expensive though. i liked being there more than i liked eating there, and i sadly didn’t have the funds to buy dessert (they had a TON of excellent-pastries; the place is also a bakery), so it wasn’t the optimal dining experience, but it was enjoyable.

caught that wonderful kenna video on mtv2 today, and i was watching it with dom and mike, and we were all silent, watching this video. that’s how i know it’s good; it shuts us up. i know that personally, i’m extrememly cynical and can’t really see or do anything without remarking on it. it’s bordering on compulsive. but this, i just sit and stare, entranced. that’s a pretty impressive thing to do and i realize and appreciate that feat. if only more things could be good enough to sit me down, shut me up, and truly move me, maybe i’d have no reason to be so critical of the world. or to reword, maybe since i am so critical — which isn’t necessarily bad — it’s easier to recognize what’s honestly good by the mere fact that i’m helpless against it. i want more things to level me.

i read act one of rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead today, and it’s good. if you’ve read waiting for godot, you’ve basically read this. not that that’s bad; godot is one of my favorite non-shakespearean plays (along with death of a salesman). and i like this one too. maybe i’ll finish it tonight if i don’t get too restless to read.

i know, you really want to keep track of my progress. thank you for caring.
