Last night Fringe, in its final season, finally aired an episode that was above average, worthy of its history. Walter was tripping on Black Blotter acid the entire time. Elements of Disney’s Tinker Bell and Terry Gilliam-style animation from Monty Python’s Flying Circus were incorporated. Sometimes I feel the show is pro drug experimentation, although Walter is clearly guilt-ridden about his past tests on children. I'm sure anyone watching who isn't "experienced," to borrow Jimi Hendrix's phrase, is now intrigued by LSD.
Every morning I wake up to a tapping inside the wall near my bed. Since it occurs only during the cold months, I assume it is from a radiator pipe. I reported it long ago, but the staff was unable to locate the source. Maybe it was decided it would be too expensive to tear apart plaster to try and find it. Sound is often deceptive. What seems to be right beside my bed my be further up, perhaps in the apartment above mine. Anyway, this morning there was a second tapping - a leak dropping onto my kitchen tiles. I immediately put a wooden salad bowl on the floor to catch the droplets. At six-thirty I put a note on the bulletin board outside the Super’s apartment, although I know it is his day off. He passed the message on to the Super of another building in the complex, and the leak was stopped by 8:30. Thanks, boys. I doubt they'll be able to avoid tearing down a wall this time.
A day that had a shaky start ended well. The floating book shop was again blessed with great weather. My thanks to Jack of Chase Bank, who bought eight thrillers, and to the lovely young mom who bought two illustrated Bible booklets for her beautiful daughter. That kid should be in magazines and on billboards and TV. She seems a blend of the best of Asian and Caucasian.
