what's with that saying, chews you up and spits you out? this business will chew you up and spit you back out. this town'll chew you up and spit you out. does it mean that it tastes you and immediately figures out that you're not good enough? it's so all-knowing? or is it that you're rattled around and thrown back out and everything is discombobulated and like a dream afterwards? or does it mean that it takes advantage of you without actually utilizing you - it'll get the fun part - the taste - but won't actually consume you and will then leave you in worse condition than you were in to begin with? all chewed up and fucked up? that it'll make you be an intern and will squeeze the work out of you but will never hire you? or is it that it will do you as many disservices to you as possible? it will not only chewmangle you, but it will also spit you out to suffer rather than swallow and put you out of your misery. actually i think i've just realized that it simply means that it will use you until you're no good anymore, like gum, and then it will dispose of you. and now i feel silly for having written all of this.

 i've taken up drinking black coffee because i'm trying not to be fat and also sipping drinks with milk gives you cavities. so anyways i spent the evening in insomnia on my second black coffee of the day, writing dreaded e-mails and listening to the metronomy the english riviera album and i couldn't not bop my head around with the music, but was sort of aware that i was being annoying because my headphones were rattling because i was bopping too much.
