Reading the newspaper over strangers' shoulders in the subway is de rigueur in NYC. What isn't normal is what happened to me this morning. I was standing, turning the page, when I heard the gentleman below me.
"Can you turn back a page?"

We Need A Universal Definition of "Stand-Up Comedian."
(This is really only gonna be funny to comics)
I went to an open mic last night which was MC'ed by (what I assumed was) an intern at the club. He couldn't have been more than eighteen years old.
One of his jokes began, "Being a stand-up comic is expensive...." I was thinking, "Wow, he does
real shows?"
His joke continued with, "...paying five bucks every time you get on stage adds up...."
That wasn't the punchline (the joke went on), but it was for me.

Now, I Care
As written previously, Temp Dude talks to himself. I don't really care.
I care a little more when, as I've heard more recently, he's also cursing during these conversations.
Friday, he was talking to himself, cursing, AND I think I heard my name in there.

I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up
Being hunched over due to a back ache isn't a sign you're getting older.
Being hunched over due to a back ache for five days (and counting) is.

My New Years Eve Story
Josie, her friend from Syracuse (their alma mater), and I went to my bud's apartment to celebrate (quietly) New Years Eve.
Around 10:30 PM, my bud (who I grew up and went to Queens College with) went into his bedroom to "rest his eyes." Ten minutes later, we heard snoring.
Not that I can say much, the next hour and a half consisted of me sitting in a chair and Josie asking, "Harris? You awake?" every fifteen minutes.
Syracuse 2...Queens College 0.

Irony
Due to a sketchy back, I stopped doing squats at the gym.
I missed them (sorta) so yesterday, I did squats using a machine that keeps one's back straight so it shouldn't hurt it.
I hurt it.
Can barely sit upright today.
happy new year
