Breaking from the OWS stuff for a moment…
Found an original edition City Lights printing of Bukowski’s “Notes From A Dirty Old Man” today. Considering I’m pretty much couch-ridden until I get over whatever stomach virus I brought back from Ecuador, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
It’s a beautiful lookin’ book, is it not?

That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
