all day i’ve had the hiccups. what on earth could that signify? they stopped periodically, like when i was playing tennis badly again this morning with eliz (i got whacked in the jaw with a ball, she ran straight into a fence) and, thank god, when i was in class. then however i had other problems. i walked in to discover that the class — an english film class, mind you — has been taken over by huge hulking men. sure, to me, anyone over 5’6″ and 160 lbs is a huge hulking man, but even by objective standards, this was ridiculous. in the sweatpants, white sneakers and t-shirt i’d just sweated in for an hour and a half, i looked like i’d come underdressed for a frat party.
