cobbled

the season of leaf raking for mad cash to support this little non-profit production company is upon me, like so many muscle aches and joint pops. when i wake up it's a symphony these days. when i go to sleep, i have to settle in as comfortably as possible as quickly as possible. moving around leads to a world of hurt.

but it's for a good cause, right? sure. nothing a few tylenol and about a quart of jack daniel's can't help.

i apologize for the lack of updates. in a month i'll be done with my last fall semester of law school, how do you like that? i have a job interview in chicago coming up a week from today. as a matter of fact, i will be at the tail-end of it, i think. it can't be longer than an hour, right? yikes. i haven't even thought about it really, there's been no time!

no time. that's what everybody says, isn't it? i've never really known what that means until this semester of my life, i think. i will miss sectioning my life into semesters.

two things i have learned since i've been away:

it is state law in mississippi that teachers in public schools must teach their students that AIDS is only transmitted through homosexual contact. see if you can pick out the scariest part of that fact.

a polygraph measures your reaction to the question and not the answer. riddle me that one. i'm not entirely convinced those things are very precise. not in the least bit.

falling asleep with gel in your hair is hard. it makes your head very itchy. i have to rake in a couple hours, naturally, and yes on a friday, or i would wash that gel-man right out of my hair. sadly, he must stay. in two weeks i will be in the middle of a trip to the addle sea. swimming in turkey gravy and mashed potatoes, and homemade pies, living a monorail-free life.
