Took a shower. Had an omelet, half an English muffin, & coffee for breakfast. Vacuumed the apartment, and mopped the kitchen & bathroom floors; dusted most of the visible horizontal surfaces. Had a corned beef sandwich, a carrot, and two kiwi fruits for lunch. Spent more time than usual on the Internet. Pleasant phonecall from my brother in Arizona. Read the Washington Post Weekly and browsed in a book on Yiddish. Listened to some of Kipling's songs. Took the trolley to Mass. Av. station for a date with a fuckbuddy, but he stood me up; however, I studied the tune to "The Night before Larry Was Stretched" on the way there & back. Dinner was chicken livers, kasha, salad, wine, & crumbcake. Had a sherry while listening to some more Kipling. Expect to have a Bianco vermouth & read some Orwell before going to sleep.
