Also, it's Journey.
Watching this, you feel like an archaeologist who's excavated a Byzantine coin: It's ancient, intricate, and totally beautiful.

I am a menace to the public and a danger to those around me
I'm not sure what the hell was wrong with me this morning other than a lack of sleep (had to get up extra early), but usually I'm not incredibly mortifying when I'm just tired. But today was special. First I ran into someone on the sidewalk — no reason, just was staring into the black hole in front of me and didn't notice the human being who happened to be standing right there. Then things got epically bad: I had my nose shoved in the paper as I was walking off the subway (like the Bottega Veneta story was so compelling that I had to read it while I was walking? As I said, I was really out of sorts) and I actually GOT IN THE TURNSTILE WITH A GIRL. Like, crammed myself in the same rotation with her. Oh, and? It wasn't the regular turnstile, but rather one of those floor-to-ceiling ones that resembles a cage. And then my bag got caught and I'd realized what I done, and she realized she had a total freak pressed against her ass. I will never forget the look she gave me.

To be fair, I'd be freaking out too.
Start writing the obit: Choire's without internet.
(Yes, I'm trying this Twitter business. It's a slippery slope after Tumblr. And despite the current evidence, I'm going to try not to repeat myself across all these ever-exciting new mediums.)
Unrelated: Dumbest thing I wrote today. Nice to know I can still pound out the throwaway crap.

Today in my professional development
I exercised editorial restraint by not allowing a slavery reenactment for a photo shoot.
PS: Can someone please help me out so that, amongst other things, my Tumblr starts posting here? And can I do that without totally abandoning MT? I have so many questions! I'm obviously techtarded. But if you take pity on me, I can pay you in balls of lint and sticky pennies!

Dispatch from JFK
Trying to decide where to eat at the jetBlue food court is really just a matter of deciding what's going to make you vomit the least upon take-off. Tonight, I've decided it's a single slice of what I think is tomato and mozzarella pizza from Famiglia "Pizzeria," but we'll see what it's really made of when it comes back up. If this sounds disgusting (and it should), consider the alternatives: I came dangerously close to getting in line at the delightful Cheeburger Cheeburger (simply because it had the most people waiting to place an order and therefore, I half-assedly reasoned, must be the best option — a urine mirage in this desert of fear), which was conveniently located next to a not-as-tempting Mex in the City. I lingered about two seconds too long in front of Sky Asian "Bistro" (bistro? Really? Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here?) and faced the persistence of a lonely woman who was clearly enthusiastic about her perhaps reasonable egg rolls, but I knew that wasn't going to work out once we got in the air. So tonight, Famous Famiglia, it's just you and me. Together, not quite forever, but at least for the next 43 minutes 'til we hit the open skies.
