The beloved and ever-generous Jordi Basté, in this segment—a radio classic that goes far beyond what it might seem—which consists of asking "who will choke on their dog this morning," let his listeners know that it would be those who went to the Castañada at my house who would choke. He was referring to the article I was writing yesterday, In this journal, about my desire for chestnut-eating boredom. Boredom is, for me, now an intellectual necessity. I enjoy going in search of boredom.
