There is no paper, except a page or two describing why it would make a worthwhile collection. I don't even really hate the idea of the assignment, but thirty or forty would teach the lesson exactly the same as one hundred.

WHAT. THE. $#@!.

This is all a hedge against my blowing up the computer when I attempt to install Linux shortly, a prospect I'm not particularly worried about but I'd be pretty upset if I lost all my photos, if nothing else.

Six DVDs (three coasters) and almost four hours later, I finally have my recovery set. That I'll probably never use.

for the life of me i can't think of one. lots of stuff about drugs, but nothing about mailing them, as far as i know.

EDIT: WAIT

She said I shipped it out from boulder.
Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets.

Attaboy. You had me worried there for a minute.

I love seeing a couple Jersey girls try and fail to parallel park.

pics?

Why do girls watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show?

so they can discuss who looks the worst

So, a few years ago, an editor approached me about a book proposal. But in the publishing editors do come and go. This one seems to have went. I've contacted his replacement, but all I got last week was an out of office e-mail. I wonder when I should make another attempt. I've done a fair amount of work on the project, but I don't think it has obvious appeal.

touche.

I can't believe I have less than 4K posts.

I think if I clicked "submit" on some of the shit I type I would have 14K posts.

I love seeing anybody fail at parallel parking. Best case I can remember is a guy trying to squeeze into a spot that was way too small for his car. He bumped the car in front, then backed up and smashed the shit out of the car behind it. After making the car fit, he got out and passed out on the lawn in front of him.

I feel as though this could be part of a show. Maybe have getting rejected from 10 items or less lane, messing up at the ATM, and trying to credit card when they don't accept it as a part of the show. I'd probably watch 2 episodes.

When I had a car in S. Philly, I could park that sucker with six inches to spare.

annotations are the worst. i think footnotes make my papers look cool though. being a history major we constantly had to use chicago style.

Well, she knows we haven't read all of these books, so all we can really do is re-work the title and crib from Amazon reviews.

I'm only halfway done this fucker.

PtK should write Borass like Dallass

one time in college for a class i had to write 50 abstracts throughout the semester for all the articles and essays we read. i saved it to the last week and struggled to finish.

my friend just called to tell me to look at the moonbow outside. there is some bright white ring around the moon. i had no idea it was something special.

Yeah, I mean, I guess in one sense this is all my fault.

The cool thing is that this is my last all-nighter probably forever.
