I wrote this in commemoration of Dan’s 100th blog post. It’s a transcript of a conversation had by 2 friends exactly 100 days ago.
#1: Hey.
#2: Oh, hey. I didn’t see you standing there.
#1: I’ve been here for a little bit.

#2: What? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.
#1: I said that I’ve been standing here for a little while now.
#2: Oh.
beat
#1: What’s up?
#2: Nothing.
#1: That’s cool.
#2: What?
#1: I said that’s cool.
beat
#1: Are you wearing headphones?
#2: Yeah.
#1: Why? They’re not plugged into anything.
#2: I was listening to songs on my computer before.
#1: Where is your computer?
#2: In the living room.
beat
#2: In the kitchen, I mean. It’s in the kitchen.
#1: Oh, okay. Why do you still have the headphones on, then?
#2: I’m not sure.
#1: Were you listening to your computer out here or were you listening in the kitchen?
#2: I was listening in the kitchen and then I unplugged the headphones and came in here to sit down. The chair in there wasn’t comfortable.
beat
#1: What were you listening to?
#2: Snoop Dogg.
#1: Snoop Dogg?
#2: No.
#1: No?
#2: No. I was listening to songs on my friend Dan’s blog.
#1: Dan…do I know him?
#2: No, I don’t think so.
#1: How do you—-
#2: Oh wait, yeah you’ve met him. He had that sailor hat on at that party we went to.
#1: The really tall kid?
#2: No, the other one. With the brown hair and the beard.
#1: Oh yeah. He seemed cool.
#2: Yeah, he’s cool.
beat
#2: I have to tell you something.
#1: What?
#2: I lied to you before. I wasn’t listening to songs on my computer…I don’t even have a computer.
#1: So you weren’t listening to Dan’s blog?
#2: No, Dan doesn’t even have a blog.
#1: Oh. Why did you tell me that?
#2: I don’t know. I thought you’d think it weird if I had headphones on for no reason.
beat
#2: Actually, there is a reason I am doing this.
#1: What?
#2: My ears are cold.
#1: How can that be? It’s summer and your house is hot.
#2: Okay, I lied again. I don’t have ears.
#1: I feel like I’ve seen you with ears before.
#2: I used to have them.
#1: What happened to them?
#2: I’m not sure.
beat
#2: I think I’ll tell Dan that he should start a blog.
