Singing "Pinball Wizard" on stage in that same outfit Elton John did in Tommy. Driving a convertable from New York to Florida. Eating sushi till I'm asking for sushi mercy. Shooting a hole in the sun. Rollerskating the Boston Marathon. Winning a finger food eating contest. Crashing a funeral and giving an impromptu eulogy. Being a graffiti god in Tanzania or Kentucky. Scratching all my poems on the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Dave Eggers, Billy Collins, David Sedaris, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Gene Wilder, Will Ferrell, Conan O'Brien, and Doug Martsch.

I can watch Groundhog Day, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Young Frankenstein until my eyes fall out and roll under the couch.
There's a station with just a hospital heart monitor and I'm up all night thinking about who it is, how long he's going to be in the hospital, how did he get there, is he lucid enough to sign an autograph? It's like a really boring version of the Truman Show.
I'm reading American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. I'm also reading The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart, compiled by Robert Bly.
Conan O'Brien and Aquaman. They might be the same person.
