At work, the attorneys close letters to the opposing counsel with �Very truly yours.� I find this hilarious because it�s so not sincere, and the �very truly� appended to the front of �yours� just makes it ten times less genuine, as if to really drive the point home that we�re so not yours, very truly or otherwise, and we�re going to flay your sorry ass if if this case ever makes it to trial.

Last night Jason and I went to Estelle�s with some friends of his from work. We immediately fell into an absurd and often peurile cycle of conversation; perhaps I did this in order to prevent the others from lapsing into discussions laden with computer-geek argot. It wasn�t all crass, though; I think we may have, at certain points, discussed death, Catholicism, and file-sharing. Jason and I kept referring to each other as �life partners.� As we drank more beer we conceived grandiose plans of a hip-hop project and a Reverend Lovejoy reunion and came up with nonsensical slogans to put on t-shirts, like Everyone�s A Lesbian At Mardi Gras and Necrophilia: At Best, A Risky Prospect.

Guess you had to be there.

This morning it was dark and windy outside, but warm. I love it. This is early spring weather, Friday in the city weather, stand on the bridge above the turbulent churning water weather, watch people on the train platform get their hair blown around in the wind weather, fall into a nap on the couch listening to the Sea & Cake weather. Now, it�s cleared up outside, and through the eastern windows one can see for miles out over the lake. In parts of the building you can hear the structure creaking as the wind blows it back and forth. I�m putting in half a day, then I'm going to blast out of here to Grinnell.

Good things right now:
- films with subtitles
- computer-geek argot
- anything with Dan the Automator�s fingerprints on it
- direct deposit
- Ransom�s birthday
