Today I learned the joys of plumber's putty. Last night mom discovered the kitchen sink was broken. Wet food chunks were everywhere. Seems food grinder loosened pipes then threw up on everything. Washed every item under the sink before relocating them to garage. Spent this morning fixing kitchen plumbing. When finished, prepared to get on with job hunt and to chip at the Merleau-Ponty paper. Then Dad says he's got a doctor's appointment at 12:30 and I'm driving. Chauffer Dad to appointment. Then notary public, lunch, Costco, Office Depot, and Post Office. Back by 5:40 p.m. Unwind a little to Chappelle youtube videos while re-calculating short to middle term plans in back of my mind. Decide to start new livejournal for more daily diary type posts. 

Most exciting event of the day is an awkward moment at the doctor's office. I'm alone in the waiting area, sprawled on a chair, thinking. A conservative-looking old lady shuffles in. She sits just a few chairs away from me, with me square in her line of sight. There are tons of other chairs. But she just happens to sit within the zone where personal spaces overlap, making us both weirdly aware of each other's presence while attempting to act unaware. The awkward togetherness peaks and almost passes but for the fact that the next prominent environmental feature becomes the dancey R&B groove that's been building on the radio speaker directly overhead. It's Ginuwine's "Pony".

The old lady fixates on the coffee table. I become intensely interested in Business Week.
