Leif decided to start writing a book, so he dictated while Emaryn typed. It's done as a diary and it starts with . . .

Day 1

Hi. I am a stick figure. Life is dull. Everything, I mean everything is made of sticks except for me! My toilet is made of sticks, my house is made of sticks, and even my bed is (uncomfortably) made of . . . sticks!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That reminds me of the pink man whose everything is pink, including his one-story house, so what color are his stairs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At least you're not missing a decent SPN episode, ita.

I'm working from home so it means it's on in the background. So it's not like I'm being distracted by anything good...

I'm against revealing too much medical information to coworkers, on principle, but I did kinda say I was going in for a procedure and there would be anaesthesia involved. I figured I might as well let them know it was a deal.

The stairs up to his door?

Although I'm not 100% sure where the place is, even though it's supposedly a block away from my house

This is why God invented Google Maps, or why Satan invented Bing Maps (just kidding Microsoft).

Day 2

Remember I said life was dull? It's all because of the leaves on the sticks. I'm allergic to leaves. I get a big rash because of leaves. That's why I get laughed at, because I wear sweatpants in the summer.

Because books.

Aw. He's allergic! Leif is awesome, Gud.

ita, I sent you another email, too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Rash?!?! Being laughed at?!?! That's not dull, that's daily excitement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know where it is map-wise, but I think that must mean it's inside a hotel. We'll see!

big shopping bag? string around it to make a handle?

I think I can just carry it, as far as I need to go.

I'm against revealing too much medical information to coworkers, on principle, but I did kinda say I was going in for a procedure and there would be anaesthesia involved. I figured I might as well let them know it was a deal.

Good. I mean, I know the timing got screwed up, but it's not like you're malingering.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Anyone in the D.C. area got a suggestion for a place to have lunch tomorrow with a friend of mine? It needs to be accessible from a Metro stop (i.e., no more than a few blocks, ideally).

(I'm sorry I didn't have time to see D.C. area Buffistas, but I've been here since Saturday and made it out of the hotel...three times?)
