(12/08/1999) Evelyn had crazy long sleeve shirt cuffs. We were in a room. She had been editing since 3 p.m. It was now late. I had been getting in the way at a restaurant they were building in the basement and a guy saved me the keys on a necklace that had been broken but had an extra clip in the broken space. I lost my money in the drawer. Zeb came by the construction-in-progress restaurant was now serving. ??? morse code, waiters, and construction workers were running into each other frantically. I got nervous ???. I made sounds in my throat and laughed to make up for not being able to talk. Rudy called and asked me to pick up some grape pull taffy. I asked the lady at the candy store for a Kraft pull taffy. She gets it while I touch M&M;'s with my fingers, individual M&M;'s. Yellow peanut M&M;'s. My favorite is a lumpy one. She comes back with a gift basket wrapped in cellophane with 4 bottles of squeeze taffy and lots of other stuff. I tell her I cannot pay for this. It is not what I want. She gets mad. I had too much to carry. I knew the basket would get heavier with time. Rudy says in case of WWIII we should go live on the roof tops where the gas wouldn't get us. 5 teenagers ??? fraternities and sororities. I wanted to ask ??? Words stuck in my throat. Zeb had come and gone but I saw him outside the restaurant. Evelyn had just left for the train and Zeb looked at pictures of John Harrelson. He asked about Dora. I was crying. Old streets of NY along the wharf had been renovated with cobblestones. Very rich married couples who came to dress as drag queens were staying in cottages along the wharf. One was undressing frantically, throwing clothes everywhere, slinging clothes, ranting and raving, ??? watched the show. It was hideous, with ???. A guy was cutting squares off his shirt. There was a prison with square windows in the cell doors chest high. The windows were there because the prisoners had nipple rings and liked to show them off. There is hair all over their stomachs. There was an art show. The work was terrible. The art that won first prize was a big seahorse sculpture, big feathers, fake plumes of blue and aqua went down and down. 2 flips.
