There's a great scene in Annie Hall where a Rolling Stone reporter and self-described "Rosicrucian" played by Shelley Duvall asks Alvy Singer (Woody Allen), in bed, "I hope you don't mind that I took so long to finish." "Don't be silly," he replies, "I'm starting to get some feeling back in my jaw." "Sex with you is really a Kafkaesque experience," she notes. (She means it as a compliment.)

Looking back on Tuesday night, that's sort of how I feel. I'm still exhausted. And while I keep trying to make sense of it all, it feels like being in a massive bureaucratic labyrinth of incomprehension. Maybe I'm just in denial. Anyway...
