so today, walking crosstown on 34th street, people watching as i stomped along to my mp3 player i had one of those reminders of why i love new york so much. i was in a pretty good mood, since the doctor told me i wasn’t going to die and all.<\/p>\n
sitting on a bench reading a paper on the corner of 34th and 6th, was a man who stopped my bopping dead – he looked remarkably like kurt vonnegut. now, being a major book nerd, i actually know what the man looks like. he was rather absorbed in his paper, and, if it really was the man, i knew that going up to him with fan glee was just going to get me barked at, or ignored.<\/p>\n
i tried the witty approach:<\/p>\n
me:pardon me sir, sorry to interrupt your reading, but i was curious if you believe in autographs?
\nkv:::clear throat:: ::irritated look:: no, i don’t sorry, i don’t believe in pens. makes autographs devilishly difficult
\nme: (pause for witty comeback, totally dead on feet) ) uh, good thing i have this pencil then.
\nkv:::chuckle:: son, do yourself a favor, go away before i have someone bigger than you bother you the way you are bothering me.
\nme: sorry mr. vonnegut
\nkv:i’m surprised you even recognized me, now git.<\/p>\n
and i did.<\/p>\n
how cool was your day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
