rude_ruca:
War and Peace...oh, wait, no, then she'd really think you were lying. Did you say she was a staunch republican or democrat? Either way, tell her ya bought some porn, that'll get her goat! kiss wink

well, if Stephanopoulos didn't think i was a crackhead before, he probably does now.

yesterday morning i was boiling some water to make spaghetti, and the heat was on for like 10 minutes yet nothing seemed to be happening. wtf? so i lift the pot off the stove, and the fucking water suddently EXPLODES, scalding my hand and sending the pot crashing to the floor....

Good impressions are entirely overrated! It's definitely cooler to be "the weird guy from the neighborhood" than "the dude who won't talk to anyone who's never declared war." Plus, with talent like yours, who needs a reputation?! wink

turns out it actually IS Dr. Frank!

my god it's hot in here. it's 90 degrees in dc with 90 percent humidity. my wood-floored studio apartment has no a/c, and in summer it turns into a fickin sauna. sweat is running down my body, and my arms are sticking to the pages of my notebook. this fan does nothing but blow hot air on me.

it's going to be a long summer.

Thanks! To everyone's surprise (especially mine!), I'm incredibly happy!

As for your trip - wow! I have to say, your long-ass journals never feel like long-ass journals to me. When I saw all that, I'll admit, my first thought was, "Damn - I'm never gonna get through this." Five seconds later, I'm done - and I want your job!!! You are entirely too badass.

biggrin
rude_ruca:
Haha....can't wait to hear this from you, with all of your animation you'll include. kiss Call me when you wake from jet lag! wink

I'm glad you joined! You're totally talented - we need people like you over there.

Deadlines suck. So does strandedness. You have a seriously stressful life. On the bright side, it's interesting - never a dull moment! biggrin

man, this is so weird -

yesterday i was walking over the P Street bridge on my way from Georgetown to Dupont Circle, and I see this old, hispanic-looking, homeless dude walking toward me ... kind of very slowly shuffling along with this far-off, hopeless look in his eyes. and before he gets to me, he stops and looks right at me, and then he...
