(my phone is sweet)

"You can want to be like Allen Iverson, but I don't think people should try to be like Allen Iverson. I think people should be better than Allen Iverson."

I never ran into you again after we were at costco, but i suppose you had mad adventures.

i came home and put the stuff away and then went and told bonnie (my neighbor) that my phone had come through. I also went because i wanted to see eamonn (my baby neighbor) and because dave and i decided to invite them over (jim too! but he wasn't there) for dinner next thursday. they're coming.

not many exciting things happened last night. i only read national geographic (the parts about arctic exploration) and talked to my mom.

(god in french is dieu)

I was thinking that's it's a funny act to watch someone read. specifically if they're browsing wikipedia pages. because you can't tell what they're thinking, only where they go, and there are the (relatively) long pauses while they just read and think. it's interesting because it's such a different experience for the reader himself, because he's in it. driving and unaware of the act.

i'm facebook messaging back and forth with mme. suskin, my high school french teacher. she's sweet, and i hadn't heard from her in a while. it's also fun to play in french, and i'm certainly conscious of being much more fluent than i was in high school. it's very a satisfying exercise, because it's also an implicit compliment of her teaching, which was excellent. she'll also be in france when i am, which could make for some interesting times. i may or may not go to new york again sooner to hang out. she even offered her canapé.
