5:36 PM me: so
5:37 PM the onion just rejected a piece they'd originally agreed to because I forgot they'd wanted me to cover five different restaurants in varying areas, whereas I just did two in Bushwick
5:38 PM the thing was about eating cheap lobster at chinese restaurants
BushwickBK.com: I WANT IT
GIMME
me: okay
they're such idiots
5:39 PM BushwickBK.com: they decided later on guidelines?
me: the point of the article was that they don't vary much from chinese take-out place to chinese take-out place but that, hey, you can eat cheap lobster at these places
5:40 PM no, they told me when I proposed it that they wanted five
BushwickBK.com: they also serve lobster at some "spanish" joints
rican/dominican places with some more traditional menus with continental dishes
5:41 PM if you were so inclined you could do two of them and I'd pay you, what
would $50 do for something liek that?
5:42 PM me: two what, sorry?
BushwickBK.com: oops
it would be hilarious AND INFORMATIVE, MY FAVORITE COMBO
two spic joints
me: ah-so
sure
BushwickBK.com: as well as the chinese
there's one I know of on bway
I got a menu
and then there must certainly be on on knickerbocker, to round it out
I know you don't get all the way over that way much
5:44 PM so I'm waiting to hear back from chase, but if they say the check isn't sent out yet and I have to stop it
I can just writ4 you a check from a different account and give it to you
and then pay myself back with a transfer
I just don't have checks for the bbk acct
5:45 PM I mean, I'd prefer not to for accounting purposes but if you're strapped I'll do it
me: yeah, that'd be great
BushwickBK.com: ok, give me one more day to sort this out
very sorry
I can even advance the lobster piece and your next column
5:46 PM me: we should meet up anyway if you've got any time next few days
BushwickBK.com: friday might be good if you can come over
me: word
BushwickBK.com: I'm a bit terrified to leave the house right now
me: gotcha
BushwickBK.com: it will pass
me: are you going to write about the incident or have you already or what?
5:47 PM BushwickBK.com: nah
if what diego got is any indication
mine will get like 10000000 comments
and all negative about me
fuck that, everyne gets robbed here
I'm not special
I do hate these scumbags for forcing me to like cops on occasion
5:48 PM it's very confusing
me: yeah, that's weird
BushwickBK.com: conflicts my psyche and whatnot
me: I actually liked a bunch of cops I met up here
which almost never happens in Texas
5:49 PM BushwickBK.com: everyone that I met that ngiht were nice
helpful, sympathetic
the detective seems liek he really like, cares
5:50 PM I rode with them for a couple blocks
they were talking to me like I was an ingenue
slowing down on troutman between knick and irvng to point out where crackheads live
I'm like, I see a crack deal every time I walk down this block, you're not shocking me
5:51 PM don't talk to me about crack, talk to me about burglary, ok?
if crack were legal they wouldn't steal my shit to buy it
and now I hate cops again
see that?
5:54 PM me: sorry, was away
5:55 PM will tweak this and send it to you
a bit later this evening
5:56 PM BushwickBK.com: oh but what about adding other spots
I'll pay, I just think that would be a rounder piece
5:57 PM me: gotcha, had forgotten about that
will do
5:58 PM sorry, I'm really stoned and distracted by IM boxes and goings-on over here and whatnt
BushwickBK.com: hah ok
