one cheap illusion could still be divine

I have to go into the city today. It's my first day out and about. I think it will aid my recuperation. I'm doing a day's work in a store. They need a hand, I need the money. Everyone wins. The fun part is that it's the first crappy day in a while. That isn't the fun part so much as the annoying part. But whatever. In case "icy mix develops" (?) as they say over at NY1, I'd better be prepared.

Also, I went to bed last night at 2:45AM, which was dumb anyway, but then I couldn't sleep. Totally stupid. I also bit the f- out of the side of my mouth. And why all this? So I could do 1/3 of my 2004 year-end update over at DDYWNYC. You never know when you're going to hit one of the pages I didn't do yet, so it is like an adventure. Enjoy.
