Had brunch with some friends this past Sunday. I don’t understand brunch. Why do we need a special hybrid weekend-only meal? With tax and tip, I paid $16. During the week, that would have been $7. One of my friends said something interesting. He said that in a perfect world, he would watch two movies every day and get high. I suppose I can relate to that, although I rarely do either anymore. But I like the idea (from a distance!) of having pleasurable experiences all day and not producing anything.

The brunch place was called Dizzy’s. Despite the semi-ominous clouds in the sky, we ate at a table outside. I half-wanted it to start pouring, just to see what would happen. The restaurant was packed, with more people waiting for tables, so it wasn’t as though they had room for us inside. I figured that if it started raining, we’d be forced to stand in the aisles, plates in hands, or maybe crouch in the hall that leads to the bathroom. That would have an EXPERIENCE. Alas, a few drops fell on my bagel, but nothing major.

My friend admitted that most days he watches two movies and gets high.
