cheers to wet dreams
Just as Heller would question, I would too. How many naps can one take in the early morning, afternoon, late afternoon, before dinner and after dinner before one fairly declares oneself moribund?
All afternoon, amidst sitting through drudging lectures on contract law, reading alternatively Piotrowski's design journal and Heller's Portrat Of An Artist, all I wanted to do (and still do) is fall prey to my silky soft bed. Maybe cos the latter half of last night was spent tossing and turning in bed; I was apparently subconsiously immersed in the world of temples, katanas and small eyes. I just need to get out of this full suit I think. Nathan seemed more preoccupied with my luminiscent yellow-blue tie and my language skills than with my ability to tackle a mind puzzle.
I shall leave you with Anderson's response to an online personal ad:
"So, it's been quite a while since I've tried the online dating thing, but if I remember well, it's that first meeting where one discovers whether there seems to be any sort of connection. I'll certainly say that I'm sufficiently interested to suggest meeting for a (relatively
safe) coffee or similar escapade. As Tamiyo Kusakari asked so much more eloquently than Jennifer Lopez, "Shall we dance?"
Speaking of dance, watch his dance video. And his porna rakonto is worth a read too.

I had a nightmare about mosquito bites. One of the blessings of the Northeast is that I rarely have to worry about those dreaded things. I saw one this morning, ech.
what is with you white people and mosquitoes. I remember having to search the room a thousand times everytime you thought there was one lurking around. Creo que sangre dulce.
Singapore is so sterile that they don't even have mosquitos here.
I have to go to Indonesia or Malaysia, into the wild to feel alive again, and then if I get bitten by I feel like I'm really in Asia.

Forgive the overkill, but while were on the topic..
The Spanish called the mosquitoes "musketas," and the native Hispanic Americans called them "zancudos." "Mosquito" is a Spanish or Portuguese word meaning "little fly" while "zancudos," a Spanish word, means "long-legged." The use of the word "mosquito" is apparently of North American origin and dates back to about 1583 (http://www.mda.state.md.us/mosquito/mosquito.htm). In Europe, mosquitoes were called "gnats" by the English, "Les moucherons" or "Les cousins" by French writers, while the Germans used the name "Stechmucken" or "Schnacke." In Scandinavian countries mosquitoes were called by a variety of names including "myg" and "myyga" and the Greeks called them "konopus." In 300 B.C., Aristotle referred to mosquitoes as "empis" in his "Historia Animalium" where he documented their life cycle and metamorphic abilities. Modern writers used the name Culex and it is retained today as the name of a mosquito genus. What is the correct plural form of the word mosquito? In Spanish it would be "mosquitos," but in English "mosquitoes" (with the "e") is correct.
