Did you know you can be full and hungry at the same time? I'm suffering from this condition at the moment, which is one of the reasons I'm writing this and not, say, sleeping.
The meal was great going in at least. I ate some gumbo, buttered crawfish tail bread, and onion rings at a tiny southern food restaurant in the East Village with my brother and an acquaintance who regaled us with tales of printing a thousand dollar ad in the newspaper of himself in tightie-whities humping his friend's face. Did I mention the crawfish bread was delicious?
Unfortunately, most of my meals aren't that interesting. I try to budget myself with $10 for general food/consumption needs every day. This usually translates into Campbell's soup, Chinese take out, Subway, or sometimes a panini.
The other night I was going to try a greek, meat-on-a-stick meal from the cart down the block from my apartment but when I walked by after work (around 3:30am) I changed my mind after the dude running the cart started peeing in the street. I try to avoid mixing urine with meat.
I realize I'm talking about stuff that's not even tangentially related to journalism but my stomach is demanding food and also demanding that I pass gas. It is not a comfortable combination and precludes thoughtful discussions.
I will be updating soon with something resembling a real post.
