it was an interesting ride home this evening. i was only coming back from a quick business meeting at the Hyatt -- which is spatially fun to go inside -- but i was quite amused the entire trip back.

first, i glanced in my rear view mirror to see a couple fighting. they weren't actually yelling at each other when i looked back but i could tell they were at it. she had an exasperated look on her face, her hand resting in her hair, leaning away from him. he sat perfectly still with a stone face, slightly tired, looking forward. i was glad not to be in that car and, all respect to their troubles, it amused me to recognize their condition.

then i flicked on KQED and listened to David Eggers (of McSweeny's fame, among quite a few other things) talking about his book and his other talks. i realized he's insane. terribly amusing but, yeah, outright insane. not that i'm not glad he's amusing and insane. i'm just saying.
