what's nice about waiting in the "visual art book" section at the strand to  meet someone for a date is that you get to decide what artist's collection you want to be looking at when he arrives.

if you are looking at dali, he might think you're interesting but a little expected.

if you are looking at caravaggio, he might think you're stable or boring.

if you are looking at mapplethorpe, he might think you're trendy or that you drink your coffee black.

if you're looking at matisse he might think you're fun.

if you're looking at kandinksy he might think you're gay.

if you're looking at monet, renoir, or da vinci he might not think anything at all.

if you are waiting for a date in the "visual art book" section at strand, trying to figure out what artist's collection you want to be looking at when he arrives, and he approaches you from the opposite side that you logically expected him to approach you from, and he arrives fifteen minutes earlier than you thought he would, you might be caught looking at a book on how to draw male nudes.  and he'll know that you're going to have sex later.

The person who sold me coffee asked the person behind me if they were a student--but they didn't ask me. What could I possibly look like if I don't look like a student??
