All is [mostly] well

1) My trip went well. Very well. Let's just say I smiled so much yesterday, my face ached. I'm worn out, but it's okay. The people were great, the facilities were schweet, and there is a window in the office, people! A window! With a view! "That window alone's worth gettin' married fowah..." Yeah, you didn't get that last part because you're not a sap who watches Steel Magnolias on occasion like I do. (Pretend you just didn't read that.)

Eh-hem. Moving on...

2) Things here at El Biblioteca Del Diablo (I have no idea if that's even close to Spanish, so forgive me!) are still F.U.B.B. (that's fucked up beyond belief for you newbies). The provost is in a tizzy, the rest of the faculty is in a tizzy, and the library has ended up looking like a big whiny baby. Great. The student newsrag even ran a story on the situation. Gee, if the response to this breaking news is anything like the last (Remember the protests & angry mobs? Me neither.) the situation should be remedied by, oh, probably two thousand never. Eh. C'est la vie. (Why so calm? See #1.)

3) I'm going camping tomorrow, gettin' the hell outta Dodge. You know, to reconnect with Mother Nature, take peyote, and melt marshmallows over an open fire. Good times. Oh, and I was just kidding about the peyote. I might have to pee in a cup soon. T.M.I. Yeah, sorry, but it's the truth. Happy Earth Day.

4) Got a new license plate. It put me out $9.25 and 45 minutes of leave from work. Oy. It is inside my back window, presumably safe from thieves. This ghetto town is really grating my last nerve.

T,
I was so excited and inspired by your "trip" that I applied for a job at the Austin History Center. I figure that this is a job that will only come open once every 5-10 years, so if I have to screw them here, C'est la vie, as you say. I hope I get to go on a "trip" soon.

See you tomorrow.

p.s. I made...check your e-mail.

I get to see you today! Yeah!! And now, some Hansel (he's so hot right now):
"When suddenly I remember: 'Holy shit, Hansel. Haven't you been smoking peyote for six straight days? And couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind?'"
"And?"
"It was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvias."
