Rainy Sunday

So I'm sorta paying attention to the TV where 'Ghostbusters' just one of the landmark examples of Eighties Post-Disco cinematic art* is playing and I'm surfing the web, too.. and run across the blog of my favorite {well, ONLY... most got no damn sense of humor} Nietzsche-an {?} philosopher.

And she passes on a great short story worthy of Kerouac or one of those other phony mid-twentieth writers. Or maybe it was Vonnegut..

Quote:

It reminds me of the time my girlfriend came into the room saying, more or less without real inflection, "I was hungry." She sat on the couch, and still in a sort of far-away kind of tone, "There was pie." Then she flopped over on the couch to stare at the ceiling, and concluded, "But it's gone now."

Too wordy for Steven Wright.
