Random times call for random measures.

Ever get that not-so-focused feeling? That's about where I am right now. I've got a dozen things I should be focusing on, and yet, lately my brainpower can't seem to hone in on a single one.

In honor of this personal zeitgeist, I'm simply going to spew out some random thoughts that entered my mind today.

Cialis. I get a lot of spam emails about this, and I can never remember if it's the name of an R&B star or an erectile dysfunction medication.

There was a fashionable guy on the subway today wearing sandy blond boots that matched, to a tint, his sandy blond hair. I was impressed.

Also on the subway: an ad, for the city's grassroots terrorism watch program "If You See Something, Say Something," said: There are 16 million eyes in this city, and we're counting on every single one. I started thinking...16 million eyes...8 million noses...80 million fingers... Then I tried to conjecture how many schizophrenics were in the city, and wondered how many personalities there might be in excess of one per resident.

I want to do everyone who works at the Apple Store. Does that make me a brand whore?

Meat is good. I don't care what Michael Pollan says.

Some New York politician wants to fine everyone who crosses the street wearing headphones. I think people -- pedestrians and politicians (particularly politicians) -- should be less stupid.

I have a favorite new author! His name is Joe Meno. I just bought four of his books.

What if I build a home out of all the books I buy? Would I save money on rent or just break even?

The AM New York guy shouting, "AM New York! Get your AM News!" at 6pm is freaky-deaky.

And probably the most-oft repeated random thought of today:

Motherf*!&er it's cold out here!
