My parents are on the Atkins I love Meat diet. I looked in the cabinet for something for me to eat, namely nachos, and discovered 5 bags of tortilla chips, all going stale. Hmmm.... Mi familia quieren Tex-Mex!

Dear friend,
I saw Ginny smoking a cigarette and taught Andrea to say hoooo-eeee like an Okie. A guy gave us free Budweiser and convinced us that Houston's beer is the freshest. Houston? We were skeptical. Then he explained about Selenium. Suddenly Florida's wells seemed pretty dirty. At the second country bar the lesbians Andrea is afraid of did not show up. We played pool and I drank a Pearl. It was a good night.
Yours,

NPR and MNC

Thursday, November 6

99 billion hamburgers sold makes enough to fund $200 million donation to NPR from the Kroc estate.

Want to hear something beautiful? Find Vangelis - Five Circles, Yasunoir Mitsuda - Greensleeves, or Misnomer - Take November. That is what is on my playlist! Oh, and Too Much Love Will Kill You by Queen. Freddy was brilliant.

What do you do if someone steals your giant Spongebob Squarepants from your yard? You build an even bigger 11-foot-tall one and then pose in your yard with your poodle: article.

I need to try Blue Moon cervesa. Es buenisima? Jeff on the Matrix Reloaded: "Really, the most human traits are reflected in the non-human characters: Agent Smith exhibits a dry sense of humor and an understated self-curiosity, and hey, at least the Oracle seems to like candy." This is why I respect this man. He tackles 28 Days Later and Matrix Reloaded and articulates beef I have with the latter and the gorgeousness I feel for the first. But I could never figure out for those two movies where my opinions came from, I just knew I had them. Oh, and sometimes I rant. But I want to know if people agree with my estimation and reasons... so I wanted Jeff to know. So Jeff, yea, you're a badass and a teacher. Huh. Fancy that.
Cheers,

Dear friend,
I saw the movie White Oleander tonight. I enjoyed it. It reminded me of something I can't place. I've been thinking today about something I learned since high school, the difference of thought and emotion. And how to live life. It seems like it's usually one or the other. If I avoid doing neither I think my life will be meaningful. I lifted heavy metal pieces at the gym today. They went up and down with pullys and wire. Dave found my school ID in his car.
Yours,
