Current goal: To learn how to juggle five things at once.

Excerpt:

Most of them are crap, but I saw one about a guy who suddenly stops eating and drinks only milk. I don’t know whether you’d call it a farce or what, but the whole thing was just about the complications resulting from the milk thing. Like the Metamorphosis but with milk. I don’t know whether it was an intentional reference, but I kept thinking, “This is like the Metamorphosis but with milk.” Then on the way out I picked up a program and there was a reviewer’s quote that said, “Like the Metamorphosis but with milk.” When I saw this I felt nervous and started wondering if I had somehow caught a glimpse of the quote on someone else’s program without consciously realizing it. I don’t know whether it’s more unnerving to think that I saw something, forgot about it, and then convinced myself that I’d thought it on my own, or to think that I never saw it at all and that I just had the same thought, phrased the same way, as someone else.
