harper's is awesome. did you ever read the article (i don't remember who
by) about how we're coming to the end of our evolution and the only things
left now are gonna be deer, cockroaches, rats, and humans? ;) sounds
about right to me. humans are monsters. i'll tell ya tho..i wouldn't mind
living in eugene, oregon with all those radicalists. when i worked at
dairy queen (my one month expedition into the depths of consumerism. or
not ;)) i almost went insane because all i did for three hours straight was
clean off dirty trays and then stick those paper logos that they have onto
the trays...THREE FUCKING HOURS OF THAT..SAME LOGO. and then like the
season ended and they wouldn't let me sell back my $20 shirt, so if anyone
knows where i can find an embroidered patch that says "sucks" in black
letters..please let me know. i need one to compliment the "dairy queen"
ontop.
