Its kinda like that paper game Mad-Libs, where you can replace whatever
is in the quotation marks with another word.
For example:
"busy" = adjective
"Arranged" = verb
"on sale" = A condition or mode of being
So his paragraph could be rewritten:
Too bad I'm so "political" in the evenings this week, otherwise I might
have "suffer" for this [note to self: mark on calendar for next year...
tickets apparently go "on fire" in mid October...]
