plum nuts.
is it just me or does that sweet potato picture down below look really fucking weird?
i've been sort of bored at work today and have gone back to read my "sent" mail from back in 2002. good god. how did my friends deal with me? i was plum crazy, y'all. i really allowed c.d. to do a number on me. i'm glad that things are copacetic between us now because from the sound of some of those emails, i was about ready to jump (or push him) off a cliff. i mean, for fuck's sake. path-et-ic.
so, now i'm thinking about dinner. i mean, if it isn't boys (not so much anymore, folks) or jobs or where i'm going to live, it's food. i think tonight it's going to be burritoville. (oh, how i miss taco stand chips-and-cheese-dip and baja burritos. oh, how i miss grit brunches [back when i didn't need a bloody mary with brunch at 11:00 am on a sunday morning, as i do now. i mean, brunch without alcohol? huh?]).
could i live in charleston, south carolina? or is savannah more appealing? i was this close to applying for a random public health educator gig in south dakota the other day just for the hell of it. i still want to visit providence. memphis also seems promising.
sigh.

i recommend memphis. i like the feel of that town. charleston and savannah are beautiful, but a little too "blue blood" for me.
i am a big fan of raleigh/durham/chapel hill - like athens, but bigger, with good public schools and public radio. and a good newspaper.
i've actually never been to memphis; like providence, it just seems nice in my mind's eye. the research triangle seems quite charming, as well--though i've only been to chapel hill.
i do heart the south.
Pussycat, stay the hell away from South Dakota. I was there in July to visit relatives - you would die. I am serious.
Come to Boston and we will visit Providence. I've not spent any time there, although it is where Mom and Tony were wed.
i was just thinking about you the other day, miss thing.
i do need to make the trek to boston on the fung wah, though did you hear? one burst into flames the other day! no lie.
i'll be in touch and we will plan a fabulous weekend.
providence seemed sketchy to me.
pourquoi, scarny?
it may've been because we were in the warehouse-y district and not the area where things are like one imagines providence to be. i guess that if i were in the warehouse-y district of any city i would think it to be sketchy. providence just seemed wrought with poverty- 8 year olds smoking cigarettes shirtless in the night, etc. actually, when i think of provy that's the only image i can conjure.
I think that's just onleyville. I've heard different things about providence as well. Um, I would think Atlanta would be way better than Memphis or Charleston. Charleston really sucks. Memphis has lots of music history, which is why I want to visit, not to mention some really buck shit, but I think that one would require some major research. Chapel Hill is nice, but you know that. Charleston really sucks. There's this stark gentrification line if you travel in from North Charleston that's kind of sickening, and it's retardedly hot and humid in the summer. Plus, there are these insane gnats called no-see-ums or can't-see-ums that make you have to wear inordinate amounts of bug spray in the Spring. However some geetchees live around there, I guess.
actually, one of my students was from onleyville and told me that that was the rough part of providence. and we only saw that at 10:30-2:00 am or so during the first week of summer.
i remember crog telling me about no-see-ums!
out of all the places I've lived, Charleston is my 3rd or 4th favorite.
