how are you?
 

i'm curious.

Nervous about a speech I'm giving.

And my throat hurts, which makes it worse.

Worse for wear / wearing it well.

Fucking fine, how have you been, it is SynthethicalY here.

My tea tastes like medicine this morning.

pretty good. i'm a little high, gonna ride my bike and eat some chinese food and do some school work. yeah.

i'm superfuckingsucky, but thanks for asking!

I'm alright, my back hurts a bit from sleeping on someones couch last night. But I've showered for the first time since Thursday so I'm mostly good :)

showering is powering.

good... just woke up. cold pizza for breakfast, how disgusting is that? but also delicious... you?

Cold pizza is good, and showers are powering :)

Count me among cold pizza fans, too--though I hear it's not healthy for you.

Today I'm fairly calm but nervous about the work week ahead. Big deadline bearing down.

Deep breaths...

ha ha ha

You know how you always think of the great comeback later on... Well, I've got one now for everybody here (where I live) who keeps asking me how I like my new state. It occured to me after the office party Friday night, and it would have been perfect for when my wife's boss's wife asked me how I was adjusting to the culture shock. Here's the line I should have given her: "You know, I was a little unsure about moving to South Carolina at first. But the moment I saw the Confederate flag waving so high and free in the bright blue sky above the statehouse lawn downtown--well, honey, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I had found my new home!"

ha ha ha. the wit of the staircase, huh?

and do they really have the confederate flag? i thought it was a blue one... dang. o you wish you were in the land of cotton?

worried about where i'm gonna be living in a month's time.

I'm sniffly. And my face itches because I haven't shaved for awhile.

Shaving gives me a rash even with sensitive skin shaving cream, and growing a stubble makes me itch and eventually it starts to look really gross.

???

Oh, yeah, it's very real, very red, and very prominently flying above state guvament grounds. It's our hair-a-tige, doncha know.

The contract on my flat runs out on 31st Dec. 2008 is gonna a be an 'interesting' year for me.
