Whiphook: unlike most
Today at acupuncture, Dr. Ken saw my knife tattoo. “Is it real?”
“Yeah.”
“You have a knife on your neck?”
I said, “You don’t like it?”
“Do you?”
“Yes.”
He stuck a needle in my arm. “Most people have flower.”
Most people have flower. This isn’t the only awesome broken English=funny thing Dr. Ken has said. In my first session two weeks ago, he explained that the needles he was about to put in the soles of my feet would hurt. He had me do some kind of breathing thing, then popped them in. “You strong!” he said.
I guess it’s all relative.

My new best friend and contractor, Jae, from Korea, calls the granite for my kitchen: “Blue Fur.” Pause here to imagine my counters covered in blue fur. No doubt it would have a certain glam rock appeal, but ultimately be a bitch to clean.
The granite is actually called, “Blue Pearl.”

It’s quarried in Norway, actually.
Kiss my motherfucking renovating ass.
