Hec (DavidS) in Bitches:
Immediately within the crisis stage of my first marriage collapsing, I had a day where I dodged a shoplifter being tackled in my checkout aisle at the grocery store, then came home to find a letter personally addressed to me by a schizophrenic inmate of the SF County Jail (who seemingly picked my name out of the phone book to ramble at me for four pages of sheer fucked thoughts). And I thought, "My life is a Fellini movie. And...I'm just going to be Buster Keaton. I'm going to be Buster Keaton in a Fellini movie. Deadpan, gracefully dodging the flaming elephants that are falling all around me as best I can."
