Balls afire; I caught a cough in Chicago and it hasn’t let up. A Delta flight attendant gave me a lozenge, which is officially the only good thing to ever come out of a Delta flight (unless you love delays). At what point will I say UNCLE to my bronchial tree and go get a round of antibiotics? Maybe never. I’ve stocked up on Mucinex and I’m working on a really nice paragraph about what I’m producing in my blue handkerchief.

I just finished Stone Arabia and enjoyed it very much. I’ll have to get a hold of Eat The Document next, though I think my next read may be Carson Mell’s new book, The Blue Bourbon Orchestra. I was pumped when my copy of Nikanor Teratologen’s book Assisted Living arrived in the mail, but it was immediately stolen by my buddy J Ryan. Is my buddy J Ryan the Hamburglar? He claims to be weakened by a cough. A likely guise!

I interviewed Bernie Wagenblast, voice of NYC transportation, for my employer.

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW

I want to interview Amelia Grey but I’m not sure who would like to print that interview. I’d ask Amelia Grey about what it’s like to write a ton of books within a genre that doesn’t necessarily dig innovation. I need to get familiar with Amelia Grey’s canon, first. We exchanged emails a while back and she said she was too busy for an interview because she was working on a book called Fall in Love Like a Romance Writer. I understand that. I understand being busy.

Posit: The phrase “like a boss” removes power from the speaker, who simultaneously attempts to gain power by the very act of their claim.

“Eating a sandwich like a boss.”

By not cutting off the crust and by keeping a napkin by my side, I am eating this sandwich in the way a boss might. This action is based on my observations of bosses that I know personally or professionally along with media-based cultural cues.

“Living in a one-bedroom apartment like a boss.”

Though I am aware that many bosses live in Los Angeles and in fact enjoy their time here, as I do, my choice of domicile is only a simulacrum of how this revered Other lives. I have very little insight into the way upper management might exist in Los Angeles but I offer this approximation. Would a boss seek out gas stations offering a lower cash price? Perhaps.

“Shopping at Food 4 Less like a boss.”

I understand that one must spend money to make money, and the fact that milk is only $3 at this discount grocery store gives me pleasure in my budgetary habits, not unlike  how a boss might react while reading the spending report from FY2011.

“Feeling groggy like a boss.”

Surely, after a long day packed with managerial activities, any boss is going to feel sleepy. This theoretical boss might put his head down on his mahogany desk while nobody was watching. He might not necessarily spend the morning in bed, holding the covers up over his nose and mouth while wondering at the best name for a modern romance novel (A Bard to Butt-Dial?) but the sentiment behind the action would be the same.
