observation deck

April 28, 2006

a lot of folks hang out at the d&d (that's dunkin' donuts to you) by my headquarters. no kidding. i just walked past at the ripe hour of 9:30 p.m. friday night and d&d was packed. i didn't see anyone eating donuts though or any pastries of any kind. i'm thinking maybe this is a happening pickup spot that i will have to work into my happening pickup spot rotation. it's quite a revelation as every time i've took a spin into this particular d&d, only a haggard bunch of biddies are in there. but i trust the youth in my totally happening neighborhood know where the good action is. it's not the d&d by "needle park". that d&d is weird and gross and the bathroom is always occupied by some sketchy looking skeleton of a teenager. sometimes i want to buy them a jelly donut. just cause. sometimes i want to run from that d&d waving my hands in the air like i just don't care. it's usually a close tie between those two options.

another happening establishment on a friday night around 9:30 is the local barbeque place. a good deal on chicken cannot be had elsewhere. i know this because i've experienced such a good deal on chicken. sometimes i wonder where they get those cheap chickens. sometimes i am easily grossed out by this thought. like for instance today as i was standing in line to buy my healthy salad and a mouse ran across the salad place floor and scattered a whole table of corporate looking folks. that was funny for like a minute until i realized that mouse was probably nibbling on my greens prior to scurrying across the floor. i ate the salad anyway but i didn't feel good about it.

in closing, i've observed many wonderful things today and learned quite a lot about my surroundings. thank you, world. thank you, d&d. thank you, bbq place. thank you, mouse.
