Tonight tonight

Tonight was a pretty good night. I went to Redbones for dinner with a friend, and we sat at "the booth," right facing the open kitchen. It was on the toasty side, but we got to see the huge stacks of ribs above the grill, and the meat and fried balls of deliciousness being made. The cooks passed us our food, and they gave us free catfish fingers and BBQ shrimp and an extra rib.

We talked about bad dates, and bestiality, and how our parents met. And other things. I forgot about a lot of the things that I'm finding intolerable right now, and even thinking about the sad things I'd rather not, well, it wasn't so bad.

I walked home in the cool spring air, listening to Neutral Milk Hotel, and tried not to step on the cracks.
