i haven't been to a 99 cent store in years. not b/c i have anything against them, i just haven't run across one in a while. they are muy bueno

i never buy my text books online. b/c i'm sick. i love the feeling of buying TONS of books all at once and carrying them home. buying books for class is just a good excuse to spend a lot of money on books. it's really troubling.

sidney bristow is the shit. my wife & i are 'alias'-obsessed. but i digress

anyway. no you're right - i prolly over-analyed the whole fan fanaticism. but it just really stuck in my head the other nite, so i started to analye. that's what obnoxious academics do.

post cards is a good collectible actually. my wife has a thing for matchbooks and key chains - for similar sorts of reasons: just a reminder of where she's been or a symbol of places she'd like to go.

sorry to hear about your buddy. a tought situation indeed. definitely take him to the bbq. the man need to do something for a bit.

re; job - you could always temp. not the most fun thing, but it's cash in the door.

damnit, I' a westsider with intentions of overunning your neighborhood for the weekend. it's a nice neighborhood as long as you don't have to be there all week [too damn hot for me]. good to hear you're back up on the bike.

I think I'll be there on sunday.

thanks for the bike tips. I'll check that out for sure.

Adelina has the good advice posted. post in journals, join groups, watch the hook-up section for public SGLA events [most regional groups require attendance at a public event they will accept you]. Pay attention, it's not that hard to pick up on the site's little idiosyncrasies. This is a good place to meet people.

welcome.
