I've hardly posted anything this week, and for that I apologize -- I haven't gone anywhere or bought anything or downloaded anything life-changing. Well, I did put in an appearance at Tuesday's free White Stripes show in Union Square, but, eh, you know. The heat was awful, the crowd (mostly dumb, shrill NYU kids and modelish girls) made me feel very old, and by the time the show started I felt a little claustrophobic and anxious being surrounded by so many people that I normally go to great lengths to avoid in my day-to-day dealings. So I left during the first song. It's okay; I'm not even really a White Stripes fan.
