people, we've gotta talk

I have to stop watching CNN. This morning the Washington post had the dead in Asia and East Asia estimated at 58,000. Now, this evening the new york times is up to 76,000. how is the death toll jumping 20,000 per day?? What are you even supposed to make of that sort of massive death? and Susan Sonntag is dead too.

i mailed clarity her love box today...and although it weighed 4lbs. 5oz. it cost $36 and change for the post office to cart it half way around the world. Now, in all fairness...i sent it "global express priority" so it should be there by Tuesday, but my options were $23 for 4-6 WEEKS OR $36 for 3-5 days. How the hell are you supposed to choose 4-6 weeks? What kind of delayed gratification bullshit is that? Bitch would be calling me to say thank you and I'd be like, "who the fuck are you? What box?" Whatever. Postage for clarity is worth it. I'll just start selling drugs or spanking pussy.

I don't even know what spanking pussy means.

That said, i really like Tom Robbins. He's amazing. AMAZING! When i was younger i went through this religious pioneer fiction phase [STOP LAUGHING] ANYWAY in these pioneer books with religious slant the protagonist always found jesus and was like "Wow jesus is really great" and i have always wished i hadn’t heard of jesus until i was an adult so i could really appreciate the mysteries of faith and not be so jaded about it. But alas, i have crazy religious parents, hence the prairie jesus fiction, so no dice. The point is that's how i feel about tom robbins. and i'm greatful to have found him ever, even later in life. b/c i'm old. brilliant.
