My skull feels soft


Today I am suffering from generalized anxiety. Yesterday I read American Genius, a Comedy by Lynne Tillman for like three hours. I think the two are related.
Also, my shoes have a lot of elastic straps that stretch over the tops of my feet and slowly strangle them throughout the day. It hurts a lot in a not really kind of way.

Your comments about your shoes can best be summed up by reading the following quote by Mitch Hedberg:

"I hate turtlenecks. Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy. All day. Like, if you wear a turtleneck and a backpack, it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down."

That's funny, Neil. And it's true. It's like a toddler has been standing on my feet all day.

I think I like that it makes me anxious. I think that part of my anxiety stems from the fact that I haven't been able to read it all day.
