I finished reading Paul Auster's City of Glass during one of my insomnia-driven reading binges a couple of days ago. There are some rather vivid descriptions of the mad and the homeless in the book. And yesterday, I realised that while some men are chick magnets, I'm a crazy people magnet. See, I was walking down the street in downtown Ipoh yesterday when this crazy old man nodded conspiratorially at me like we were members of the same Fight Club. Well, I sure hope that I haven't been sleepwalking like the Narrator in the said movie and busy setting up Fight Clubs all over Ipoh.

And this afternoon, I saw the Hip-Hop Makcik again, sitting at the corner of a street, sucking on a cigarette, but seemingly without her trusty boombox/ghetto blaster. I see her there without fail every Saturday afternoon at around four in the afternoon, and today, I was suddenly compelled to compile a mix tape of dirty, lazy beats for her, featuring Beck, Brad Sucks and Jay-Z, among others. By the way, if you believe in the saying that "the best things in life are free," do check out Brad Sucks. He put together an entire album and made it available for anyone to download for free. You have to hand it to the man for such generosity. There's even a Wikipedia entry on him. If you really have to know, I've been listening to "Dirtbag" and "Bad Attraction" pretty much non-stop. Do check it out.

Sorry for digressing. What I really wanted to say is that, since there are so many crazy people around Ipoh who seem to enjoy greeting me, I suppose it's only fair that I venture on a little project to compile a sort of report on the nuts of Ipoh. What do you think?

Maybe she's just nervous, but I don't think so.
