Today I walked around Venice beach all day, talking to the people I thought I knew and seeing the things I've seen a thousand million times.
And everything pretty much looked like it was in the same place, but none of it looked the way I remembered it.
The weirdest thing kept happening, too. I kept asking myself if I'd shaved that day, and then I'd check to see how bad the stubble was getting. Then I realised that 1) I'm not a post-pubescent guy, and I've never shaved any part of my face (except by accident - too much momentum and asphalt and not enough skin).
2) I would never worry about shaving anything that much anyway, because some hair's gotta be there for some reason, right?
3) Everything seemed much shorter than I remember it - almost as if I'd been wearing 12" platform shoes. I'm pretty short (at least according to the Vogue or Elle Standard), so this came as a bit of a surprise.
The only person who seemed familiar was Tyler Durden, but I can't imagine why. Maybe I've been reading too many books.
I used to think I was the worst driver of all time, being both Asian and female at the SAME TIME. But no, I can honestly say that I've let someone drive my car who was much worse, and they were as diametrically opposed to 'Asian female' as a dog would be to, say, a spatula.
So I guess all that sun musta addled my little sweetbreads, because I was toasted by the time I got home.
How about you?
