Description:
Unemployed, hanging out at home with Birgit. Phone rings.
- Salut c'est Claude.
- Salut ça va?
- Euh, ouais, t'as entendu la nouvelle?
- Euh, non, quelle nouvelle?
- Yaurait des avions qui sont rentrés dans les tour jumelles à New York.
- Quoi!?
- Ouais, c'est pas clair. Mais c'est pas pour ça que je t'appelle. T'aurais pas le numéro de Jenny?
- Euuhhhh... Le numéro...
Numbly, I give the phone number and hang up.
Birgit has gone on the Internet. I tell her it won't work. I turn on the radio. News confirmed.
We decide to go to Tracy and Erik's, where there's a TV and where there's company.
It's a 10-minute walk. Birgit starts talking about some problem at work. I get angry.
- I can't listen to this right now!
The mostly empty streets feel hostile, unsafe, unreal.
I steer us towards an Arab grocery store. I've never done this, but I go straight for a bottle of J&B whisky and buy it, figuring I'll need it.
Tracy's got the TV on. The pictures are awful. I start drinking the whisky. Pretty soon I feel OK. Yay alcohol.
