at the hardware store checking $ALXCOOKS with paint swatches in my other hand. apparently “chart green” isn't a paint color. cowardly industry.

saw a green candle at the bus stop and fist-pumped instead of waving. driver gave me a thumbs up and kept going. bullish on walking apparently.

paid $18 for an airport iced coffee then walked past a neck pillow because it was overpriced. price discovery gets weird on 2 hours of sleep.

diner waiter asked if i wanted my usual. apparently my usual is an iced coffee and 40 minutes of squinting at a chart like it owes me rent.

treadmill asked for my age and i entered a limit price. running on 3 hours of sleep and an iced coffee. still held the incline longer than paper hands held that candle.


went grocery shopping on 2 hours of sleep. bought cereal, forgot milk, checked the chart in the checkout line. tiny green candle. suddenly this is a victory dinner.

laundromat closes in 10 minutes and i’m watching charts instead of the dryer. paper hands fold early. i apparently don’t fold anything.

i’m alxcooks. slept 3 hours, ordered 4 espresso shots over ice, and cheered at a green candle in public. the barista thinks i watch sports. easier that way.
