Well... I am still in NC. I was supposed to leave Friday morning, but I'm actually going to be here until Tuesday now. Thank you, Frosty.
Wow. I have almost nothing of interest to say. There's lots I'm thinking about, but it doesn't translate into language at the moment. I've never been so absolutely satisfied on every possible level. I can't even pretend that I'm... Read More
I like your drawings.
also, you look quite familar. I
I used to live there when I was a kid. Maybe we went to elementary school together or something. ???Maybe its just that picture with the smoke in your mouth,where you look like a guy from an eighties movie. Like the guy from weekend at burnies mixed with John Cusack.
So I was walking down the sidewalk in a seedy part of town with my dad, and there was a general feeling of sketchiness in the air. We walked up to this house, where some generally sketchy looking individuals were coming out of a generally sketchy looking house, and as they walked... Read More

Here's a news story I saw that I thought you might be interested in (sorry I don't just have a link, but I lost the url...):
Suspects copy 'Wire'
NEW YORK (AP) -- David Simon's HBO series "The Wire" -- a fictional account of a police investigation of Baltimore drug dealers -- allegedly had some real-life dealers taking notes.
While announcing a crackdown on Friday of a cocaine ring, police said their investigation was hampered by the suspects' habit of switching cell phones -- a technique for evading electronic eavesdropping they picked up from TV.
"Believe it or not, these guys copied 'The Wire,' " one of the investigators, Sgt. Felipe Rodriguez, said at a news conference. "They were constantly dumping their phones. It made our job so much harder."
Police relied largely on wiretaps to infiltrate the gang, which made up to $15 million a year. The result: 12 arrests and seizure of 43 kilograms of cocaine, 18 handguns, $500,000 cash and five luxury vehicles.
While doing business by cell phone, the suspects often spoke to each other about "The Wire" after it aired on Sunday nights, Rodriguez said. Some of the officers listening to them also were fans.
"If we missed anything, we got it from them Monday morning," the sergeant said of the television show.
Happy 2005, you crazy kids. I am looking forward to the best year ever.
I hope everyone has had as good a time during the holidays this year as I have been having, except I'm pretty sure your holidays couldn't have been as cool as mine, because if everyone had a holiday this good, the world would be a very different place.

"No, it's more than that. This is more important than who knew what when, or who falls on his sword, or whether somebody can use this disaster to make a political point or two. We can forgive Major Colvin, who, out of his frustration and despair, found himself condoning something which can't possibly be condoned. We can forgive that much. But gentlemen, what we... Read More
Today may go down as one of the most bizarre days in my life. And that's saying something.
Late, late last night, completely out of the blue, I had a 5 hour-plus phone conversation that went well into the dawn with someone I thought I would never talk to again, and it may turn out to change the immediate direction of my life in a... Read More
