remember how much i love you.

whew, sorry about that last one. it's funny, i didn't realize i was in a funk until i started writing and it all came pouring out. i think these cold gray days have a whole lot to do with it.

i'm about to crash after finishing paul aster's the brooklyn follies, but luckily paul has provided me with a wonderful passage before bedtime.

sage advice from page 296:

Try to roll with the punches. Keep your chin up. Don't take any wooden nickels. Vote Democrat in every election. Ride your bike in the park. Dream about my perfect, golden body. Take your vitamins. Drink eight glasses of water a day. Pull for the Mets. Watch a lot of movies. Don't work too hard at your job. Take a trip to Paris with me. Brush your teeth after every meal. Don't cross the street on a red light. Defend the little guy. Stick up for yourself. Remember how beautiful you are. Remember how much I love you. Drink one Scotch on the rocks every day. Breathe deeply. Keep your eyes open. Stay away from fatty foods. Sleep the sleep of the just. Remember how much I love you.
