This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You could take it to Goodwill and see if they have a use for it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Reason # 243571 that I love San Francisco: The airport bookstore has a section for "erotica/romance", and they really mean the erotica part.

Oh yeah! And the guy that stocks those books at SFO was interested in carrying Lost In The Grooves. Really need to get back to him.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Do you use it, Sophia? If not, toss it!

Well, no. But I remember taking it with me to rehearsals of my high school play (In 1988) and... Oh god, I am truly a packrat arent I....

Do you have a program from that play? Then you don't need this clunky old piece of equipment taking up space.

Sophia, you could donate it to The Dead Media Project.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You don't watch Clean Sweep, do you? Half of the show is the guy helping people realize they can have their memories without keeping [their grandmother's encyclopedias from the 1970s].

No... I have no cable and I am too scared. Also, being in poor theatre has scarred me too many times. i mean, it seems stupid to hang on to things just in case someone says "Gee, i wish we had an old-style discman for a prop" but I cannot tell you the number of thingd I have gotten rid of that I have needed later.

I have decided to take all but the most beloved of my costumes/clothes into the theatre where I work for stock. That is an entire room full of clothing. i will have access to them, but not have to store them..

The Dead Media thing is neat!

Oh, that's a perfect idea -- totally bring in the discman. Can you label stuff with your name in case you want to take anything back?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aha! I remember reading about this story years ago but nobody ever seems to know what I'm talking about when I bring it up. Which seemed ridiculous because it's the most fascinating thing ever! So I half convinced myself that I had imagined Nu Shu, the secret coded Chinese writing that existed, hidden from men and the world for a thousand years.

Wow, that's really cool.
