sparkling literary allusions

I spent most of my day on this couch instead of on this laptop. Five weeks left and I spent this sunny day on this couch. Man.

Still it was not a day without accomplishments. Today's crossword has been completed.

Fifty-eight across: Metallic element's obstacle? "ALUMINUMFOIL." Hilarious?

I also did some reading. Read the wrong short story for the person who has a lot of things to accomplish but plays hokey on the couch instead. The wrong and the right and a beautiful sad ugly short story: "The Lie." 

Other activities of the day included head-shaking and muttering of Oh no as a result of flashes of remembrance of doing things like back bends by the light of a dangerous roaring outdoor fire pit with a Christmas tree trunk sticking out of it on the lawn of a friend's rented house. And: My god, did I really SAY THAT to that person.

This morning my hair smelled smoky and I had dirt under my fingernails.

I grabbed the paper, The New Yorker, a big glass of water and went straight to the couch
