Liars, charlatans, tall tales, fictions of all stripes and varying degrees of quality, toga parties, kickin' down the doors of my unconscious and screaming "This is a raid!", weird art, pedestrian art, found art, tea, rabbit holes (falling through), burning bridges in reverse, daydreaming, soup!

Darlingggg, I'm thinking the best day that will work for me to do movies is Thursday. Movies and um... a frozen pizza? Something delectable from your George Foreman Grill? The possibilities are ENDLESS!!
Duuuude! Sorry last nite didn't work out for Twin Peaks... I can hang out on Saturday late afternoon/early evening-ish! Though, you'll probably be at work, right? Damn!
Actually, I might beat you to the proverbial punch. Slight possibility I might be heading your way for a couple days at some point this summer....will keep you posted.
