"Trachim? ... Wasn't Trachim the shoemaker from Lutsk who died half a year ago of pneumonia? ...
No, ... That man's name was Trachum with a u. This is with an i. And that Trachum died in the Night of the Longest Night

AHHHH i was totally just thinking of calling you!
i miss you terribly!
everything's great - what about you?

i've only just started it but i think it's hilarious the way it's written - like it was first in some obscure language (let's say Ukrainian...) and translated clumsily into english by someone and then translated into different english by someone with a thesaurus. of course it all makes sense grammatically...but it's so funny.
i quit majoring in ben lee when he had to cut me from his contemporary experimental poetry class - there were too many fourth years who wanted in, and now ... surprisingly enough (maybe terrifyingly enough also) i'm working on making my AOC (wait for it, wait for it....drumroll...) economics...the dismal science.

anyway, i want to talk some time! i'll call you some time. i'm going to orlando today to visit matt, but maybe tomorrow or something.
yay!
