I worked all this morning on The Book That Will Not End. It went OK. Then I went out to do some Easter shopping. I people watched while I was spending money. The plump lady in the See's Candy shop was wearing cute bunny ears. The very young man behind the counter at Deaf Dog was wearing eye makeup: mascara, some discreet liner and grey eye shadow. His eyes looked really nice but it was distracting in a Jack Sparrow kind of way. Very cute, but WTF? The even younger young man slumped on the chair behind me had a ring through his lower lip and looked so sullen I wanted to tell him that maybe some eye makeup would cheer him up. As I was walking back to the car, I passed a man who, I realized, was dressed EXACTLY like Bill Gates. Dockers and a nerdy sweater. Oh, geeky face, too, but I thought, hey, he looks nice (and rich?). Wonder if he's C# or Ajax? C# I bet. I saw a trim white-bearded man with a black standard poodle. He did not look like a poodle man.
