Tonight Claire and I went to Virago, this hip, overpriced, underquality sushi-fusion restaurant. I just had a little dessert and she had a salad. As we sat down a woman approached us, a 40-something black woman, to say that she and her friend were make-up and hair artists looking for people to do up and photograph for their portfolios.

William: On the one hand, I had a letter printed in the Tennessean
William: On the other, it was poorly written!
Drew: blast!
William: On the third, who cares? No one reads the Tennessean
Drew: thats 3 hands
William: That's okay

Really though, it's amazing how you can never tell just how badly written something is until it's in

This is for Kim, since it's what I was typing up last night when I was talking to her. It's from the last volume of In Search of Lost Time"Real life, life finally uncovered and clarified, the only life in consequence lived to the full, is literature.

I'm finished with the whole college magilla, and good riddance to the whole process! I'm happy to put that behind me. I've been accepted by NYU, and I think I'll go, just because, why not?

I went to Laguna Beach this week, and Kathryn drove up from San Diego to meet us. She brought me back down with her to her dorm where, because it was finals week, I spent most of the two days entertaining myself and feeling happy because I don't have exams this week. Even so, it was wonderful to see Kathryn, because even if I was without her for ( Read more... )

Last semester, as part of my legacy building, I recruited William Ballow, the sophomore brother of my friend Robert, to take charge of the Tea Club next year. I've known him for a couple of years and he's a good kid. Knows a thing or two about tea, that's for sure. But until Tuesday I didn't realize how much. I often make tea at lunchtime--I have a ( Read more... )
