MONDAY
Today I suspected that Ibsen meant to be funny when he said to his barber, “I want my hair cut like THIS.”
Today I discovered that The 3 Musketeers on the 3 Musketeers candy bar do not float into the air and travel to Alexandre Dumas’ novel and hide in the crinkly pages just because you look at them for a long time.
Today I thought about fasting and the next thing I knew my hand was filled with chocolate covered peanuts and I was munching them, as though I were in a dream.
Today I decided that the best way to die is to collapse outside of a beautiful hotel that you happen to have lived in very happily for many, many years.
Today I am a little afraid of drinking flaxseed oil, but if I were in a rock band, I would like for my name to be Flaxseed Oil, and I would like to play a big Hammond organ painted as yellow as a banana.
Today I really wanted to do things: make a smoothie and believe in God.

Comments
This is part of a continuous manscript called TODAY, one of two that never seem to finish themselves (the other is THE ETERNAL JOURNALS OF CRISPY FLOTILLA.) I guess the names should serve as indicators why they have trouble reaching their own conclusions–after all, eternal is, well, eternal, and every day is today.
I guess I will have to give this more thought.
But Pearl, if you like the snippet, may I recommend either COMMENTS WITHOUT COSMOS or PORTRAITS OF INTIMACY? Yes I may! And I do. You can get them from a double click over there on the right column, via the venerable lulu.com!
Thanks again,
Crispy
