And then the morning after (i.e. afternoon after) remorse:
And then Jorge checks in:
And Goldstein:
All of this is eerily similar to a recent David Rakoff drunken tirade on the Wiretap episode “The Hangover.”
Anyway, this week’s National Post article includes a bit about another one of Jonathan’s foray’s into today’s technology:
Thursday. My friend Arthur texts me to say that he’s around the corner. I text him back that I’m on my way over. Texting is something I’ve recently discovered. Each message takes me about 20 minutes to write and no one can ever decipher what I’ve written; still, it makes me feel “with it.” I know that having it make me feel “with it” is proof positive that I am absolutely not “with it” and probably never will be “with it.”
Enjoy.
Also, this week’s Wiretap episode is “Adam and Eve.” It’s not up on the archive just yet, but you can listen to Goldstein read it on This American Life. Also, this week’s episode features John K Samson currently of The Weakerthans and formerly of Propagandhi. (Should be neat.)
