I don't really understand women. Well meaning, but I really have had terrible luck for many years.

Me taking pity and sort of feeling snarky:

Step one is to realize that you can't understand women as a whole. We're as different and the same as people are. You have to learn about women, one woman at a time.

I think it gets easier after step one.

i talk with women on this site until they lose interest. after three emails they're usually on to someone else. i won't complain, but i'm not very good at getting past step one.

a good-ass sandwich

Rode my bike down to Wicker Park to deliver broken boot to cobbler and pickup a contact order. WP was thick with WP type people enjoying the winter-reprieve and the first viable real day of spring. WP is full of yuppies, bands loading equipment into bars and basically any stereo-type that MTV would want to pick up for a reality show. I'm glad I don't live there anymore, but I miss sandwiches at Cipollina. So I went there and had a prosciutto, fancy cheese and fig spread panini. I read a book and soaked up the sun in front of their giant window. Watched two adorable sweet dogs greet each other and wistfully be led away from each other. I listened to this yuppie man trying to satisfy his french wife(?) they had a haughty teenage daughter and a toddler daughter. Everyone was well-heeled. The people behind the counter are always adorable earnest hipsters.

I felt really peaceful soaking up the sun, the scene while enjoying a good-ass sandwich and fancy Italian orange soda.
