Your hustle's busted when you can't afford a cigarette.

So has anyone listened to the new R.H.C.P. album? Is it decent?

I have contracted this new catchphrase, unsure where I picked it up from, but I find myself saying it all the time lately. "fuckin' A man".

Ooh, I won a door prize last night at a comedy club. Tickets back to the comedy club. So all it takes to win a raffle is being on a different continent from Bethany.

Also, I was wrong about Scottish accents. So wrong. They don't all sound like Sean Connery. It is beautiful. And hawt. So hot.

Today I greeted my officemates with, "Happy fourth of July, bitches!". It was very gratifying. Unfortunately they were not at all offended, not even the actual English one.

Apparently "anyways" is not a real word. Mind=blown.

"Most inventions start out like this, with alotta people being like "That's not the way it was before." and other people being like "Shut up, I'm drunk."" Not the best beginning, excellent ending.

Also, post something bitches.

all of my love,

K.D.

Also, happy Higgs Boson day. It was a fun day to be a scientist, I must say.

Johnny, said love is all you need, but I sold that record so, I wouldn't have to know, there's nothing you can see that isn't shown.

Holy crap nuggets, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is awesome. It was so very insanely awesome, but then.

Jason Schwartzman.

Plus all that Beck dripping all over it.

I'm pretty sure this movie was hand made for me.

God I love Beck. And Jason Schwartzman. And Jack White.

K.D.

Even though he poisoned the mind of the king of Rohan, Jack White is still pretty bitchin'

So yeah, Blunderbuss is pretty addictive as far as albums go. I figured it would be one of those ones that got better as you listened cause on my first go round nothing stood out as particularly amazing, but now if I listen to one song I want to listen to them all.

Today I was in a park, and this massively fat squirrel was just sitting on this fence looking at me. And he just sat there staring at me, like 2 feet away from me. So when I reached for my camera he climbed up a tree, and continued to look at me, and I was watching him cause he was so cute. And then after a bit he climbed down the tree, onto the ground, and scurried around me in a circle and proceed to keep looking me up and down whist clasping his hands. He was so adorable, I felt like picking him up and keeping him.

So, firstly, I do not like sitting in front of computers and working. I think I need to be more hands on doing shit. I think when I get home I'll change my degree to chemistry. Turns out I'm not as much of a physics person as I thought. Secondly, I have no idea what I am doing with my project. My mentor is off getting married in other countries, and even when I met him he was all, "yeah, your project is really flexible you can do whatever really." Which was OK and all, but really I have no knowledge of what the hell is going on, I just need to be someone's helper outer/lackey for a couple months. And also, I am so not a city person. Cities are boring as shit man. At least when you don't have a car and have to walk a mile or two to get anywhere.

Yesterday I got in an argument with this guy in my office about torture. Apparently he thinks Guantanamo Bay defeats the point of America, which seems like a really weird thing to me. It seems like there are a lot more things that destroy freedom a lot worse than some super upper level military holding place that has just about zero effect on anyone's life. But apparently (at least to one Scottish guy), the existence of Guantanamo Bay is a giant deal. But anyways, I was saying that if there is even a slight chance that torturing a very non-innocent person saves a significant number of lives or could in anyway diminish suffering, then it would be worth it. Like if you could torture Himmler in 1943 to get a clue about where Hitler was and what he was up to, then yeah, go for it. Apparently this sentiment is not shared. So at the risk of feeling even more like a soulless bastard, what do you guys think?

Not that I really plan on taking Glasgow people's opinion of American politics too seriously, since it is pretty in vogue to be liberal here. It's just like, bizarre the things people have to say about it, and the expectations they have. I dunno, it just gets my goat when people say things like "Bush is an idiot" and proceed to back it up with further statements of how, "well he's an idiot." Maybe I've just heard that line one too many times, but at least if you're going to attack the man, do it with some sort of actual statement about his prowess as a politician. Perhaps go for how, despite being a republican, he vastly expanded the federal government. Or maybe go for some of the things he did with education. But for god's sake stop peppering everything you have to say about him with, "he's an idiot."

Anyways, all that aside, I miss you guys, I miss home, but I'm also having a good time. Talk to you later lovelies,

all of my love,

K.D.

Yesterday,

I met Kelsey, in boy form. Math and physics double major, loves the Fratellis, and works here: http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/public/lab-info/wilson.html

Funny thing is, his name is Alex and Mayda likes him. We may have a double Alex situation on our hands my friends.

We went swimming with Mike (Greta's boy) and his new roomates; (Kelsey) Alex and (gay-sian) Phil. There was debauchery, leeches, and busting my Ray-Ban's when I forgot they were on my head and butted a soccer ball. Oh (Kelsey) Alex is a soccer boy, I forgot that. Anyway they are pretty super glue-able so no great loss for such an awesome day. :)

It's good to be back and work seems cool. The lab coats are tie-dyed.

Kelse I want you to know, since you have left there is less pants wearing on my part, but not more happiness

Cari is coming WEDNESDAY!!! Ahh so can't wait. Gainesville is getting lame guys. Work is fun (most of the time) and making me money, but i'm either working or tired from working... first world problems I know but whatever. Also, I'm finding that I'm liking going out and partying far less than I ever have. I was thinking back to high school and I loved it so much, but now I'm like ehhhh I could go out or I could watch parks and rec...
Wcomma

Laughing so hard you hurt yourself is good for your health

In other news, Gainesville has been operating at five thousand billion percent humidity the past few days. Mo! How is your new job/state/friends/life?

YAY! Cari's home...

But I'm afraid I'll be off with my family this weekend. Presumably I'll be free by Monday or Tuesday night. Lemme know what you wanna do. Unfortunately I have 2 months worth of work to do in the upcoming week as prep for Scotland, but I wanna hang as much as possible. So let me know what's up, I'm down for the get down. I have no idea if that's an appropriate phrase.

all of my love,

K.D.

The sky was bruised, the wine was bled

Uh, hi. Looks like I'll be home next Friday. Hopefully it will work out like last time where I can stop in Gville for lunch. My last exam I "have" to take is today, but I'm a retard with a knack for finding statistical anomalies so I got into a parking lot accident on Sunday and have to get my bumper fixed. Alex isn't leaving for Paris until that weekend anyway, so that works for me.

And then Americans got their heads out of their asses

And realized how immensely idiotic it is for drugs to be illegal. Then they legalized all the drugs and we stopped putting kids in jail for victim-less crimes and put a fraction of the money we saved from not having to shelter and feed them while they were in jail into giving addicts free rehab and properly educating the public about addiction. Bonus points for not turning 18 year olds who got caught with an 8-ball into into hardened criminals and giving people the right to do as they please with their body. Oh, and probable prevention of gang violence and babies born with opiate addiction. The end.

I eat sixteen saltines then I lick my fingers

I purchased Blunderbuss today, holy crap I am so excited! I also bought Psycho Jukebox. Hope they are both spectacular, I am worried about my main men letting me down. But I doubt they will, and I foresee a lot of listening to them on the way to Europe, and in Europe. Golly I hope I stumble upon Jon Fratelli sometime while I am in Glasgow.

Ahhh, Elijah Wood, so delicious, albeit much too short. WILFRED SEASON 2 COMES ON AIR SOON! Did any of you watch the first season? It's pretty hilarious. I mean really, a show about doing fuck-all and smoking weed with a dog you talk to, featuring a heavy dose of mental illness, what's not to love?

Cari, at some point you asked me when I would be home and I don't believe I answered you. I will be home by like Saturday the 5th, and remain there until like the 26th, so we can hang out a considerable amount if you're there by the 9th, which would be hella awesome. Related, spellcheck does not think hella is a word. I learned this today when I used hella in my course evaluations. Spellcheck also does not think spellcheck is a work.

I should be studying. Blargh. Nards. I should have been studying all day. I laid down on the floor in the sun to study. Then I fell asleep on the floor for two hours. Like a godsdamned cat.

All of my love, oh all of my love, all of my love, to you now,

K.D.
