when I say chi-city, chi-city

that's where i be right now, in the 'business center' of a hotel downtown. i got here after a short flight but hours of wakefulness on account of insomnia at 3 am, so it feels like i did an overseas flight, and arrived very hungry and went and got some lunch and walked down the deluxe avenue which is exactly like the deluxe avenues in nyc or washington or l.a.

there is something extraordinarily depressing about (american?) cities, about the lack of uniqueness in the tourist areas, and everyone looks the same and acts the same and talks the same (wait, that's a song lyric too...courtney love circa 1995). i walked into a levis store briefly, considered buying some new jeans, and the salesguy remarked that the song playing was an m-l-k speech set to music and that that seemed wrong.

he also told me 'flare bootcut would be an oxymoron.' i think he might have meant redundent. or is it redundant? the conversation made me even more sleepy.

anyway, so i'm back here, going to take a snooze. maybe drink a little booze. what i got to looze?
