d.c. is a place to network. i do not network. i am leaving d.c. as quickly as possible. community college teaching perhaps? application submitted, hopes abound. set your sights low in an assertion of absent power. pride through negation, ain't no shifting veneer with all its maintainance.

job summary:
question: do you know how many things you hold in your hands daily which are toxic?
answer?: neither do the people who make the things you hold in your hands daily.

but they make the monies, so leave it be, lawd leave it be.

that's why we gots to educate.



i hope you are all well.

ok, so here's an update for the stalker in you. i'm in d.c. now, working as an environmental consultant, saving the children from all the harmful chemicals you dearly love...or, rather, recording how the children could be saved if we didn't love our dear chemicals. but the benefits are good.

i am also the proud renter of the lovely house in which i sit. it's only twenty minutes to work, near to parks and zoos, and combines wood and plaster in a fashion i find refreshing (velvet elvis is even paralleled by a faded picture of lennon).

i'll soon be wandering the city, haunting the halls of power as best i can. museums, bookshops, opium dens, rickety ships...marble and glass, pavement for the traipsing.

so, summary: stability achieved; adventures to be had.

exploiting a well-known loophole in international law, an invading force of zombified wooly mammoths quickly suppresses iranian resistance. says a mystified ahmadinejad, "we didn't plan for this".

a wooly mammoth revival!: if i remember correctly, this is actually what the disgraced south korean was attempting to do...

competition and voice: why your opinion of this argument doesn't matter.

unrealistic hypothetical taking government out of diplomacy may die at the hands of the majority, but negotiations with Fiji begin on your behalf, my adoreable readers.



a couple of free days on the beach isn't much to ask. it'll speak against the Fijian robot army rumors. the level of mutual understanding would be greatly increased.
