Expensive Projects
Dave, you should just see how deeply in debt you can go, and embrace your life as the Negative 6 Million Dollar Man. Once you get deep enough, it'll be almost hip. People will be like, see that guy drinking the Mr. Pib? I hear he owes some school $300,000! No way! Yes way! No way! Yes! It's fucking true!

I'm really curious to see what's up with Ryan's unclaimed mail. It just gave me an excellent idea: I need to write a novel that's told through mail. By which I mean you'd pay for the novel and then receive it, in bundles, and it'd be individually packaged communications directed toward some character—like at first some innocuous sounding correspondence from different people, and then some weird bills, and notices from the government and warnings and bills and fines and maybe a package—it would probably have to be a mystery story.

that could be an expensive project.

I'm half serious about the other idea born this weekend: a Des Moines-based tabloid. You know how City View competes with the Register? We need a third publication to bitch about both of them: the Underbelly, Des Moines's only tabloid newspaper. Maybe we could start out on the web? My web design skills are pretty undelicious, unfortunately. They're like the brussels sprouts of web design.

One of the people who always mocks my fingerless hobo typing gloves just moaned about how her hands are so frozen in here. Oh! So sorry! If only there were some garment that protected your hands and still allowed you to type! What fool would have something like that?

Not me, because I left mine in my car. In Ankeny. Fuck.
