conversations with dr. omnibus {omnibus syllabus edition}
doc: you need to get away from what's in your head. LMO: what does that mean? doc: you need to take action. LMO: i'm not hamlet. doc: i don't think i ever had to read that.
i see him once every six months or so; i kind of enjoy arguing with him. "i think i agree," i said at one point today. "i don't care!" he replied. i think he just turned seventy.
Doc Om! My therapist in Tucson once mentioned, apropos of my nominal writing career, that he'd really dug the Da Vinci Code. I had to trot out the "Hollywood versus indie film" distinction to clear things up. On the plus side, he did convince me that I was unliklely to die by choking.
Wait, you are still seeing this guy? I think you might need therapy for the therapy. Or is it just for comic relief?
