[ chris ware in “the new yorker” ]
and my favourite lunch? not the about life grilled haloumi salad. it is possible to have too much haloumi in a grilled haloumi salad. despite the best intentions of the well-dressed rocket, red capsicum and grilled zucchini to balance it out, every cheesy morsel will burn its way down your throat, leaving a salt trail that the icy mango-watermelon-vanilla-orange beverage will not wash away. and because it is not freshly grilled haloumi salad, but one picked from several large bowls in the glass case, each one of the six or seven slices will also be cold and rubbery.
on the plus side, the salt really disguised the coldness. as burning!
damn, that was salty.
we caught the bus to the newsagent, where the thanksgiving new yorker was not only the cartoon issue, but also came with four different chris ware covers. truly, today is the day where generousity becomes a curse. but i managed to buy just one. and now i see that you can download the series, with an online comic strip thrown in (so you can see the pie and sandwich in action). and a chris ware interview mp3.
well. it got me excited, anyway.

i nearly bought the previous edition on friday afternoon.. but then i only had 5 bucks in my wallet. i am stumped as to which cover to get… i quite like the conversation one.
after long and careful deliberation in the newsagent, i bought the pigeon one… which, when i got home, i decided was the wrong choice. but i suspect i would have felt the same way about them all, no matter which one i ended up with.
