About Me:
'`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an
encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied,
rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at
least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I
think I must have been changed several times since then.''
-
Who I Want to Meet:
'Here was another puzzling question; and as Alice could not
think of any good [criteria], and as the Caterpillar seemed
to be in a very unpleasant state of mind, she turned away.'

makes really good cards involving

fascinated way, like all of us
should. She's inventive with her
heart, mind, and hands. In Ecuador we
once made an ambiguous souffle
involving beets and cream of mushroom
soup. On February 15th we chanted
this together: "Move Bush, get out
the way, get out the way Bush, get out
the way! When oh when will we honor
our "Pastrami Pact?
a bum leg!
a sudden shock.
heat?!
no.
cold?!
no.
FREEZING,
yes.
as the ice water streams down your
face, as your body goes into sudden
shock, you know it had to be:
rachel.
drink a fine wine... Sure, it can be
fun to sit around, sniff the cork,
swirl the glass, and sip... but most of
the time you'd rather cut the shit,
pour one to the top, and imbibe that
sweet intoxicating nectar. Ughhh Yeah.
