Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to make a SERIOUS note to self about leaving the office at 5. I think the trains are always more crowded. Could that be? Could the percentage of people in Manhattan who leave work at 5 really be that high? Is it only on Fridays? Do I ever leave that early on a day that's not Friday?

I need to do some research, I think.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Maybe it's the brokerages/investment banks, Jesse. I think they are 8-5, and if the staff there is anything like the staff here, they are out the door at 5:00:01. At least my unscientific survey about I-bankers says that pricks in suits are on the early trains and assholes in business casual roll in after nine.

Heh. I didn't notice the crowd being especially suit-ish, but this is why I need to do more leaving-at-5 research! Although, no way I'm getting in at 8. I didn't know there were people with office jobs in Manhattan who did that.

What are you supposed to do for a pulled muscle? Heat, cold, walk it off, what?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I love local radio productions. First a piece that was a ride along with a cynical cabbie, now a spoken word piece on Baltimoreness. And I'm pretty sure a piece on lisah's friend's new store. They almost always have a spoken word piece and they tend to be awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What sucks at TJs? Anything?

I really didn't like their frozen pierogies or the shelf-stable gnocci. The pierogies were a weird texture, and the gnocci tasted strange.

I love their frozen french onion soup, which is vegetarian.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also rest and elevation.

I seem to have pulled a muscle in my left calf. It hurts like a hot knifey thing if I put any weight on the ball of my foot. It came on really suddenly -- I stepped down off a trolley, which was a normal stepping motion entirely and it seized up on me.

Compression? What should I do, wrap up the leg with an Ace bandage?

What is even happening?

Theo, have you tried flexing your toes?
