i usually find something useful in Slate, but it's never in their travelogues. it might be something about how i'm against travelogues on principle, or that somehow Americans' perspectives on places foreign [no matter where the place is] end up sounding the same, or i just don't like things that mix expository and personal writing [which rules out

there was a thing on the travel channel about the czech republic and there were a bunch of dumb americans saying dumb things (i.e. this one dude who had a "i am *so* college radio" look about him saying, "well, i didn't want to go to this one place, because i'd heard it attracted a lot of tourists...") and.. i thought of you. and how you probably would have thrown something at the TV, or had an aneurism, or something.

i'm sorry you have a roommate. you are always welcome in my room.. provided i'm not studying like a maniac for the LSAT.

i get back on the 31st. what about you? and will you need a ride from the airport... FROM ME, IN MY PHAT RENTAL CAR?!

hey, since when were you going to law school!
i'm not getting back until the 4th, and i think my mother is actually coming with me, she wanted to. bah. i miss you.

heh, since last january-ish when i decided it was the only viable option for me.
i don't really like to talk about it because i don't want to jinx myself, but i'm shooting for international law at NYU, columbia, georgetown, or the big H.

..well, if you would like to escape from your mummy at any point, the offer stands. i'll have a car 'til the 7th, so the sky's the limit.

the whole idea of who deserves what is something i wouldn't ever want to touch with even a very long stick, but unfortunately, this kind of econo-psychobabble is entirely too common. it's something about Calvinism, i think.
on the other hand, i would bet that in seventy years people will mostly have stopped living in New Orleans [and other precariously located cities], not because of federal efforts to push them out or any such thing but because of rising waters. but then, early cities in America weren't built for any reason other than money, not permanent settlement and not safety or anything, and that's where we get a lot of our environmental trouble, from golf courses in the southwest using all their water to floods in New Orleans.
