Dude, I'm in Hawai'i.
Other stuff since my last post: four-day party in Champaign-Urbana, and a week of teaching and living in the dorms at IMSA. Both deserve and will get more screen time here, but for now, just, dude, I'm in Hawai'i.
From the yes-exactly department: "I really hope the anti-smoker nazis don't take my quitting as a sign that their billboards and laws and taxes and insults are at all justified. I'm quitting purely for personal health reasons. I wish I could keep smoking, just to piss off those hippie assholes, but alas, I only have two lungs, and I need them for other things." --Jonathan Prykop
