Wet from rebirth
So I went to the optometrist this morning.
The visit started out normal enough. Dr. Goodflesh (actual name) plucked me from the waiting room and ran me through the usual tests (One, or two? Okay, now, one, or two?), and asked me polite, superficial questions about my life.
Then he got out the eye-dilating drops and everything changed.
"The college students like this part," he said, as he turned out the lights and flipped on a small machine that sent hundreds of green points of life spinning tranquilly about the room. "Do you prefer the solar cloud, or deep space?"
I opted for deep space. Before leaving the room to pour me a cup of coffee, the good doctor hit play on a small stereo: Yanni. "Think deep thoughts," he said tranquilly "your eyes should be ready in a few minutes." I can say definitively that this was the best Yanni listening experience of my life.
As my eyes dilated, the points of light broadened, lost focus. It was as if I was moving ever closer to them, until I had left Earth behind, and was suddenly, beautifully alone, dancing with the stars (ha ha!).
Five minutes later, he came back to run more tests, and everything was back to normal. The lights switched on, the music off. He showed me what my cornea looked like and then introduced me to his optician. I ordered frames that look eerily similar to all the frames I've ever ordered, and then I left. How boring life suddenly seemed, having discovered what it is to be a Platonic Soul, soaring, all-knowing, across galaxies, accompanied by no less than the greatest pianist of the 20th century.
If I seem more introverted, more aloof than when you last saw me, be not surprised; I am dreaming of a better place.

The Office Wins Forever
It seems like the only group of people more self-referencing than my group of friends (I LUV U AAALLLLLL!) is the cast of the office.

The Shitting Intern
Now that everybody's internships or whatever are winding down, here is a story to put your experience in perspective.
Olympic ANTM?
So I'm watching the US women's volleyball game this morning and the announcers said that one American player, Kim Glass, has tried out for ANTM 5 times.
I don't know how I feel. On one hand, I don't think she would be a good model, but it would be mighty entertaining to watch an Olympic athlete interact with the rest of the contestants. Btw, new cycle begins in 2 weeks.

BOOYAH
BOOYAH!!!
I told Caitlin and Lanaya that I had a special study break planned for them. Then I showed them "2 girls 1 cup." Now Lanaya needs to go to confession-- actually. Whoops! Jews ruining things for Catholics all over again.
PS: Michael Phelps is a freak fish. Fuckin' freaks.

**NY CELEBRITY SIGHTING NO.4**
Phish guitarist/frontman Trey Anastasio found at a Manhattan Mac Store, listening to a Mac Store employee tell him something about "festivals." Maaaaaaaan.
Location: 767 5th Ave.
Time: Approximately 4 PM, EST
**HONORABLE MENTIONS**
8/1/08: Sergio Cilli, of Current TV's Infomania, seen ahead of me in line at David Byrne's Playing The Building installation at 10 South Street, Manhattan. Not strictly a "sighting", because I spoke with him briefly. He is very nice and keenly grasps when a conversation has run its course.
8/3/08: Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington spotted at McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn holding a naked infant.
