A homeless man told me I looked "very nice today".
I can't help but want to parse this for hidden meaning.
Does this mean that he sees me often and thinks I look nice today, as opposed to other days? Is he being patronising (pretty galling coming from a guy with things living in his facial hair)? Did he sense I needed a bit of a pick-me-up, after my ego-crushing credit card application ("I don't have any assets, I guess. Do first editions count?" "Ha, they're not worth anything. Do you have a car?")?
You know what? I'm going to return those overdue Woody Allen and Curb Your Enthusiasm DVDs today. I've overdosed on neuroses.
Oh, and housewarming at our place this Saturday. Be there!
