At the 192 Books cocktail party last night I was talking to this guy Kurt, and I don’t know how our conversation got to this point, somehow we started talking about the color equivalent of numbers, and he said, “Like, red is five.” “But no,” I said, “ ’cause red is one.” “But it isn’t,” he said. “But it is,” I said. Scintillating, I know. But then he started to break down the formula for the colors of days, which had to do with the number of letters in the day and the placement of the day in the week, and then Jill said we had to go, so we did, and I never figured out what the formula is, exactly. But the thing is, you don’t need a formula for the days of the week. Tuesday just feels blue, the way Wednesday feels green, no?
