Things I remember from today:

1. Dog-eared, weatherbeaten, shopworn, unfinished book called "Mensa Sudoku."
2. People ignoring or mocking the Bronx Leadership Academy High School French Club (the school I taught at in 2003-2004), whose members walked ten times across the Brooklyn Bridge trying to raise money for a trip to Montreal.
3. The human avatar of Comic Book Guy in Forbidden Planet, an NYC comic book store, asking a store clerk not to euphemistically refer to the McFarlane's Mercenary action figures as "independent defense contractors."
4. A proto-lesbian shopfest.
