Show me your bones

Wow, it’s been a while. I’ve been busy. Doing what, you ask?

Ripping up the carpet in my new house, scraping the latex paint off my woodfloors, then sanding them (by hand), staining and polyurethane-ing them. Moving in. Working 40 hours a week while starting my senior year, tutoring at the Learning center, training new rotation students, picking out a recital date (OMG!), and trying to start reviewing for the GRE.

Oh, and getting Mediacom to turn on our internet. How I lament them and their monopolistic/exploitive ways.

The good news is I abso-fucking-lutely love my new house, Rachel, and Me-Ru (my two roommates). Hopefully I’ll post some pictures of my bedroom—decorated in a “natural fiber” motif.

I used the approach developed by Manda and I to buy fireworks to select paint for my room. The walls are “pond-lilly green”—as I told Mandy, “gay-in-a-bottle”. I know Alexis would be proud.

I have to go practice some opera before meeting Craiger and assorted straights at the Coliseum for some well-deserved Bombay Saph. G&Ts.

Ah the pathos!

Thank God you are OK. I was about to send a hoard of Tuetonic knights out to find you.

Lily Pond Green; you DO know how to make me melt. (That and the image of you sanding the floor by hand.)

Ed, honey; where are you? The Tuetonic Knights are busy doing Off Broadway, but I will send a squardron of Death's Head Hussars to rescue you when they finish with the extra work on Der Ring des Nibelungen if I have to.

Has Craiger locked you up again?

Alexis-

Just busy selling crack and punching hookers. I checked out your latest updates, OMG. I want a lawn that looks like that. I'm chartreuse with envy. Take that! Loves.

Manda-

I miss the Canadian too. A lot. How much would it take him to move to CoMo? We could swing it. Loves.
