So I was riding home on the L train Saturday afternoon, when I saw Billy Hot Chocolate wearing a ridiculous-looking all lavender outfit (t-shirt, shorts, head and wrist bands). Turns out he was going to a Wet Hot American Summer party. I can’t remember the movie well enough to know how an all-lavender jogger outfit fits in, but I didn’t really need an explanation since Billy is a man silly enough to change his last name to “Hot Chocolate.”
Billy asked what I was up to and I explained that I was getting back from buying a coffee bean grinder. That sounded so lame compared to wearing an all-lavender outfit that I kinda amped up my excitement about my grinder. “New coffee grinder!” I said. “Going to be good.” Then I asked Billy if he wanted a cup and he said yes and came to my apartment.
I had invited him so abruptly that I kinda didn’t believe he was really going to come over until he actually got to my place. I thought maybe he got off the train with me as a joke and was just walking to his party. “Are you serious?” I asked him, after we’d walked five blocks from the train. And he said “Yeah. Were you?” And I thought about it and said “Yeah.” So we had a fine few cups of coffee and hung out for two hours and ended up talking about some heavy shit. I think before this Saturday I’d talked to Billy for maybe eight minutes in a row. That was pretty cool. Thank you, Billy.
My camera is messed up so that picture has a weird greenish tint that did not exist in reality. But Billy’s clothes are somehow appearing in the correct color.

Was the Lavazza Super Crema any good in French Press form (vs. espresso)? Or did you try some other beans?

yeah… lavender jogging outfit fits with wet hot american summer… in that it takes place in the eighties and everyone wore CRAZY shit in the eighties!
i like that your camera simultaneously displays both what is there and what is not there. i think your camera thinks your walls would look lovely in a lime or chartreuse tone.

Next time I see you on the subway, I will ask for some coffee instead of quietly listening to Cats on my iPod.
