{Another Week}
Oy. Class this morning. Books to read this afternoon. 18 more days and its pancakes-and-bacon time.
A Moveable Feast
"In Africa, a thing isv only true at first light and a lie by the afternoon and you have no more respect for it than for the lvely, perfect weed-fringed lake you see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across that plain in the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But now it is there absolutely true, beautiful and believable." -Hemingway

About Me
- Name: Daniel
- Location: St. Louis, Missouri, United States
"The candleflame and the image of the candleflame caught in the pierglass twisted and righted when he entered the hall and again he shut the door. He took off his hat and came slowly forward. In his black suit he stood in the dark glass where the lilies leaned so palely from their waisted cutglass vase. Along the cold hallway behind him hung the portraits of forebears only dimly known to him all framed in glass and dimly lit above the narrow wainscotting. He looked down at the guttered candlestub. He pressed his thumbprint in the warm wax pooled on the oak veneer. Lastly he looked at the faxe so caved and drawn among the folds of funeral cloth, the yellowed moustache, the eyelids paper thin. That was not sleeping." -McCarthy

Tell me that guy's name that I'm supposed to look up. I didn't have any paper to write it down on while I was at the jewelry sale.
Counting down!!!!!
Dan the man....long time no talk. It must have been right after 'sanksgibing' or sometime near there. Looking forward to seeing you over break. Today, as I was walking from my apt to class, I was thinking of you, and your many ideosyncrisies, which I love by the way, and I remembered the time you bitched out the Abercrombie people at water tower place freshman year, when you and I were down there for something or other. I laughed so loud, that I think i scared the girls walking alittle ways behind me, because they gave me more room than they had been previously. Just thought Id share that laugh with you. Hope everything is going well, and again, Im looking forward to heading to Lemon Grass, eating fried raviolis, and other St. Louisian standards when I see you in a couple weeks. Talk soon,
Matt
