ditto.
i would send you pumpkin pie from publix if i thought it’d arrive edible.
i am at home. with mama. in a house we both freak out about generally being haunted (by my snickety-when-breathing nana, and her mother, and their dogs, specifically — it’s not weird, it’s southern) but today we were in the kitchen eating supper (or rather the first thing today we could count as a veggie because i’m not sure i can keep counting ‘slaw’ and...

my big PLAN OF AWESOME for the night was wholly derailed. i blame THIS GUY who had a major beat-down at the dog run and required emergency vet work, and then THIS GUY who is going to be my internet demise. if i fall off the face of the planet, it’s because i’m lost somewhere in brooklyn with a trench coat and a periscope starting a little fan club in his honor. please send rescue.
my plan of awesome
4:00 take a full hour to seal an envelope and turn in a timesheet
5:00 turn off computer, put up I’M OUT OF TOWN BITTTCHHEEES (ok, not exactly like that) vacation message on my computer.
5:10 saunter home while listening to the npr-for-iphone app that has REVOLUTIONIZED MY LIFE. i never used to leave the house because i’d miss something on the radio. now i’m just antisocial...
my dad’s approach to love, whenever i get upset, is always: “just remember, kid.” (my dod talks like this, and keep in mind he sounds like he’s from virginia and has smoked and drunk too much his whole life, so basically he’s got the perfect voice for reading rudyard kipling) ”just remember. he’s just a boy, and you’re just a girl.”

because there's a wes anderson piece in this issue
nicole: did you see theres an article on wes anderson in the new yorker?? I did a little scissor kick lying in bed last night when I saw it. also, the short story is by javier marias. my all-time favorite author.
dcwhip: MY NEW YORKER HAS NOT COME IN A FULL MONTH. I AM OUTRAGED. they say it's the post office. the post office says that's bullshit. i say hey, y'all, i still want to read shouts and murmers so FIGURE IT OUT.
nicole: this is a tragedy. I think you should call the local news station. I would have a serious problem with this. The guy who works at my post office likes me, he's the only one who doesnt speak chinese, even though he is chinese, he has long creepy hair and his name is "Angel" and he always asks me to look him up on myspace. No thank you. But the benefit to this is that whenever something gets lost, he tries his damnedest to find it. He also tries to hold my hand, but I choose to ignore that.

Gov. Schwarzenegger sends lawmaker special veto... →
midnight-radio:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling lawmakers why he took the action.
A Democratic assemblyman who heckled the governor during a recent event in San Francisco actually received two messages: the veto letter itself and a not-so-subtle rebuke creatively hidden within it.
Like a find-the-word puzzle, the...
