I have many things to say, but I also get horrible commenting errors! Let’s see if this one works. 1. Google homemade wasp traps. Don’t smash them because they will release a pheromone to attract other wasps! 2. I have never seen Jaws!! ! CAN YOU STILL LOVE ME?? (PS: if Steve or whoever wants to know what the errors are, I can probably recreate them and oblige via email.)

10 years!!! Oh my god it really has been a long time and we are aging, all of us, slowly but surely turning to creaking bones and dust. And I have not even been to Portland yet! Will it come to pass in my lifetime?? If it does, will you help me locate a burrito??

Also I commented my ADVICE UPDATE, but got a horrifying sort of web-language looking message when I hit ‘submit’ and it may be GONE, GONE. I really hope it isn’t because it was mega-cathartic and I don’t know if I have it in me to write it again, because I’m lazy. But if it is truly gone, suffice it know your advice was EXCELLENT, I followed all of it TO THE LETTER with extremely satisfactory results. I suggest everything listen to you and do exactly what you tell them in their own lives, including making jokes about traumas and reading about holocaust rape to feel better about their own petty miseries. YOU SIR ARE A MAGICIAN.

wasps upset me…. I am a window washer now, and am confronted by small wasp nests several times a day. There are always a couple huge bumble bees flying around bumping into them as they try to build their nests, trying to make their lives difficult. They can’t actually kill them though… they only have that one chance to sting somebody. When the wasps get all settled, and have babies of their own.. they will go to the local bee hive and gobble up all the bumble babies and feed them to their own young. Can’t be bothered to make the nutrients on their own. I feel like a bumble champion squishing the wasp nests (as generally requested by homeowners)… but occasionally feel a great deal of sympathy for them too. They are so gentle and sweet while building the nest… they politely ignore the bumble bee as it tries desperately to keep it from moving in. I seem to remember reading that its actually some chemical trigger in their body that suddenly makes them brutally murder and kidnap a whole pile of bumble babies… i don’t think they have any idea that they are even capable of that…

Did you really delete all your archives? I’m crushed. I was reading them from the beginning and only made it up to 2010. I guess I’ll never find out about how the worm thing turned out, or when you finished your dissertation or how you finally got out of Iowa, rats! It seems like such a waste if you only did it to please a bunch of stuffy academics who don’t deserve to work with you anyway if that sort of thing pisses them off.

Jaws is a great unifier. Just today a friend of mine told me about some conceptual art video he made back in the day which was a TV screen playing Jaws, with a video camera focused on only 1/4 of the screen at a time, and then that was what was blown up on the wall for passerbys to gaze upon. Apparently it went over really well.
