Terminology

Scotty G. came over this morning and presented me with a coffee table book I had my eye on for a bit. I guess all the hints finally worked. It's the Dictionary of Theories and Scotty said it was to celebrate International Philosophy Day. I returned the favor by throwing a couple of close games in the racquetball court. To be fair, Scotty's Le Coq Sportif shirt breathes so well he has a sizable advantage. I will always prefer the feel of long-pull cotton. Manolo cooled us down with coconut ga-ga bombs he makes with italian ices and Sharpes. The good mood was shattered when we got into a stupid argument about whether there were any wild palms in Los Angeles. Anyway, the book is surprisingly authoritative. I had to cancel my hour with Leon because I was so engrossed in the many entries for "the pleasure principal." Write your own punchline, Diary. And kindly use pencil.
