Already today I've eaten half a box of truffles, Pei Wei leftovers, crystallized ginger, some frozen Thai entree...
My desk looks out onto Sixth Street. All day long people walk by smoking cigarettes. Today there are more than the average number of smoking pedestrians.
The block is swarming with SXSW band members. Across the street five young women sit smoking on the roof of a dark blue Starcraft van after loading into the Marisco Grill. Another van almost the exact same color is parked nearby in front of Buffalo Billiards. More smokers sitting on the front end of this vehicle. Dawns on me that I could go outside right now and bum a cigarette from any one of about 50 people. Chances of getting my brand are really high.
Quitting in Public is (humbling, humiliating, uncomfortable, loud, disconcerting, outside my private nature).
I feel (vulnerable, off center, stupid, clumsy, inept).
Today I am not (writing unnecessary emails, interacting with people without specific reason, running errands).
