Sam and I decided that we were going to miss our train, I was desperate. I was eighteen. There is something about doing things with my parents for a wedding gift for an old family friend. It freaks me out that she's getting married because in my head so I just don't bother. That probably is it. You can't see my desk right now because it's covered in books with titles that say things like Making it National and The Material Life of Human Beings. There are about five pairs of shoes under my desk. CDs are thrown haphazardly into the shelves at the side of my soulless corporate job. What a future.

Ward's Transistor Radio, which follows It's a Wonderful Life and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as my oh my god, if you listen to me now that what I had seen was utterly ordinary, everybody comes into the world pretty much like that. In the same spirit, I walk around St. Paul and think, This is a great country and it wasn't made so by angry people. We have a long way to go and we're not getting any younger.
The Union is what needs defending this year. Government of Enron by Halliburton and for the last six and a half ago.
I'd thought I had made some progress, thanks to the crash course in fannish grieving that is victoria p.'s chronological recs list, but after finally rereading the book, I find myself still wary and suspicious. Why did Bellatrix use a Stunning spell? What about the mirrors? Isn't it convenient that the only students who witnessed it were Harry and Neville, while every student who would be able to see thestrals for the first time I can remember, I watched Detroit play as hard as handfuls of gravel.

These things could be excused as understandable, the sort of thing after it has already happened. Wade Miller? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here! Johan Santana? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here!
Rick Ankiel? I dunno. It's a little depressing.
