- It's official. I've moved into the "Rad Bachelor Pad" with my buddy Sean, a.k.a. "Peanut" (a.k.a. "Big Peanut" or "B.P.," which can also stand for "Big Pimpin.'") He's teaching me how to smell delicious.

How's the moving going?

Random as this may be, I have to tell you that whenever I happen to wander over to Subrosa's page, I see this comment of yours, and the "So no. I won't bite your assholes" part cracks me up, every time.

So, um . . . thanks for the amusement, I guess? The purpose of me mentioning this is unclear, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. wink

Sounds ominous.

Hope your move went well. Mine was surprisingly good. Still waiting for the other shoe to drop ... I'm way up in Rogers Park now: where are you? I work in the loop, so I can spring out anywhere for drinks. What nights are good?

Because you did not meet the required convocation deadlines this quarter, on the request of your preceptor, I have removed your name from the convocation list. Please note that you will be assessed a $50 cancellation fee early next quarter by the Office of the Bursar.

Dichotomies in Moving Pictures

Denver/Boulder was awesome, possibly as awesome as watching this on infinite repeat.

Chicago is currently the anti-awesome. And I realize it's all self-created. You know, the problem is in your head and so is the solution. (alternatively: "QuitYerBitchinAndFuckingFinishThatPaper!!!). Nonetheless, I still feel a little rejected.

For getting impailed by a large gauge common nail, my foot feels surprisingly well after a couple days. Though I think it's brought an end to my Boston Marathon aspirations. I'll never win now.

thanks for the sympathies though smile

YOU were the beard ?!? !!!

I knew that beard had a suspiciously feminine sway to it.



Hold on wasn't there a person named Beard ? Frank Beard, The drummer. Oddly the only Top without a beard. She was more of an A-cup though. Did you get an . . . adjustment ?

Omg. I know the name of the drummer for ZZTop.

You know I wanted to say something about Chicago, and stuff about school, and more stuff, but, all I can think of are lesbian car pools, hot girls, and flashing antics!

Yeah, I like the div school. I'm in theology, doing American historical theology, specifically the theological defense of slavery in the antebellum south. (Cheery, right?) Congrats on being almost done. What'd you do your thesis on? Are you sticking around in Chicago? SignalNoise is a UofC'er too; we should go out and grab some beers once your return from east coast debauchery. Let me know & we can plan ... Oh, and the Edith Grossman translation of Quixote is really excellent. A great read; you should definitely give it a go.

They didn't warn me about the chaffing.

So apparently if you sit, on your ass, in front of a computer for +15 hours straight (give or two a few pee/nap/beer breaks) in +95 degree heat/%90 humidity, sweat begins to collect in your lovely ass folds. you know, that sweet spot where ass connects to back of thigh? those folds. Well, if enough sweat hangs out...

I'm so much happier today I could ... sleep finally? So what was your thesis about/where did you do it? (I'm a grad student down at UofC)

I want a job too...but a specific kind.

And I must say, that is a creepy thesis-hole picture. :p
