Only *you* can stop prostitution: So, in Gainesville, Fla. the police have posted the pictures of those charged with prostitution and those charged with being "johns." Just charged. The site got more than 1,000 hits on its first day up, according to the U. Florida paper. About the number of people accessing the page, the department spokesman said: "There seems to be an interest here. We're going to continue to do this."

Update: I just had my first-ever guitar lesson! It was so, so much fun. The teacher has a handlebar mustache and his name is K.C., for Kansas City, because he's from Kansas City, Missouri.

Last night I tried out the web archive. I searched for my page, cuz I'm vain like that. And I came up with stuff from April and May. Re-reading the archives reminded me of what an up-and-down time that was. But at the same time, it was beautiful to be there, to learn how to make a journey. Yesterday I was sitting in class and thinking where I'd be if this were Copenhagen. I'd be looking out wavy-glass windows. I'd be picking up a snack at the bakery. And I'd be riding my rusty bike home, in a stream of other bikers through the city streets.

"Your love is better than ice cream, better than anything else that I've tried, and your love is better than ice cream... everyone here knows how to fight... and it's a long way down... it's a long way down... it's a long way down to the place where we started from..." -- Sarah MacLachlan

According to my university, the following are characteristics of suspicious packages:
* Excessive postage
* Handwritten or poorly typed addresses
* Incorrect titles
* Title, but no name
* Misspellings of common words
* Oily stains, discolorations or odor
* No return address
* Excessive weight
* Lopsided or uneven envelope
* Protruding wires or aluminum foil
* Excessive security material such as masking tape, string, etc.
* Visual distractions
* Ticking sound
* Marked with restrictive endorsements, such as "Personal" or
"Confidential"
* Shows a city or state in the postmark that does not match the
return address
On the whole, this means my grandma's cookies are highly suspicious. But I'm glad it reminds me to watch out for packages that tick. I wouldn't have thought of that one.

"A relationship has its own intelligence, its own predilections. It's like a plant, or a fire. It knows what it needs to survive." -- Matthew Klam, NY Times Sunday Magazine

Why I'm glad I'm in college: Cuz my roommates and I can roast marshmallows over a candle at 1:30 in the morning, and that's perfectly normal.

Question: Why do silly things make such perfect sense at the time? And things that really do make perfect sense never seem so sensible.

"So we read and we watched all the specially selected news/ And we learned so much more 'bout the good guys/ Won't you stand by the flag?/ Was the question unasked/ Won't you join in and fight with the allies?/ What could we say...we're only 25 years old?/ With 25 sweet summers, and hot fires in the cold/ This kind of life makes that violence unthinkable/ We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old..." -- Moxy Fruvous, The Gulf War Song
