they like experimenting with peanut butter

if I had an air-o-plane i still couldnt make it on time

i am making soup for the first time. i put vegetable broth & a bunch of cut up vegetables and spices in the crock pot on low this morning.

i am going tomorrow afternoon to pick up the keys to my new place. it is half the size of this place, i am going to measure to see what will fit. it is fenced on one side, i might try to fence the other three. it doesn't have a washer or dryer, i might get a compact washer & clothesline for summer at least.

i am not moving my furniture for a couple weeks, i have both places til the end of april, i can't believe it's been over a year since i moved to asheville, i'm very glad i did.

i have been doing a lot of research and development and experimenting with the peanut butter jar safes, finally getting down to a set process and procedure and tools and method that are the easiest and make the best hidden jar safes most efficiently. it's still an art not a science yet. i thought of a slogan - your safe is secret with me.
here's the laboratory under the watchful eye of a city councilman who thinks the place smells like an amsterdam hash bar.

WHY DO THIS?!?!

i spackled sausages to a hostel door in sydney australia.

it was july 2000 (australian winter), i was there for 5 weeks to study health law & professional responsibility with about 30 other american law students.

it was sausage links from the dining room attached with vegemite & it was small & tasteful and said "EXTRAORDINARY" (any photos have been tragically lost in a disposable camera neglect accident.)

the room's occupant sent an email to everybody in the group the next day titled 'petty vandals,' and it was extraordinary, recounting when the maid, emerelda, found it, thinking it was human fecal matter, yelled at him: "WHY DO THIS?!?!"

the reason we did this was the room's occupant was perceived to be haughty & pretentious, and took himself extremely seriously, not unlike many law students, using 50 cent words such as 'extraordinary' during class for no reason. and rather than be caring compassionate people and ignore this, his door was hit.

8 years later i'm not really that sorry. is this a character flaw? righteousness? playground bullying? the maid had to clean the same amount as wiping a plate, and while in reality it only caused him to take himself more seriously, it made sense at the time. and i'm pretty sure pretentiousness is a force worth fighting.
