Somehow, I think everyone else in the world is thinking about different things than I am when they read these articles

One of my coworkers compiles a handout of the day's gossip pages each morning (which may explain this entry to anyone who was wondering what I was doing reading Cindy Adams), which means that I get a daily dose of the Post's horrible, horrible editorial cartoons. But today I thought to myself, maybe I'm just not giving this Sean Delonas fellow a chance. Maybe his work only seems shallow, and if I study it closely, I will discover a hidden layer of complexity and symbolism. And perhaps I will annotate that symbolism with blue magic marker and post it on my blog.

Elsewhere in the Post's gossip pages was this sentence, which I have rendered below with screwed-up spacing painstakingly replicated:

Keanu Reeves -- concerned about the deterio rating health of his be loved sister, Kim -- is keeping a low-key pres ence at Sun dance while promoting his upcoming flick, "Thumbsucker."

One extra space in a single sentence is an accident. Two is carelessness. Three is evidence of high blood alcohol content. Four??? Four is a conspiracy.

A cons piracy, you mean.

Also, G quite enjoyed the belated Bunny Day gift I e-mailed her.

Use of Boz Scaggs was delightful. Use of what was called "Also Boz Scaggs" sent orange juice (lots of pulp) out my nose at high velocity.

Well done.

That was too wonderful.

It also made me look up this great Dirk Voetberg piece.
