3:51 PM Miriam: I just found a t shirt that says "Jesus loves you but I think you're a cunt" online. Clearly busy over here.
3:53 PM me: that's based off an old line
  dude
 Miriam: I just think it's a rad t shirt.
3:54 PM Har har.
 me: I totally pwned this fascist anti-gay douchebag and got him to accidentally admit that he's kind of a white supremacist and also caught him in a lie
 Miriam: Groovy man.
3:55 PM me: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/35565_Barrett_Brown_vs._Donald_Douglas
 Miriam: So, teaching manyana?
 me: you'll find this more entertaining than most of my stuff
 Miriam: sweet.
3:56 PM I'm totally exhausted from werk and need something to read/distract me.
 me: yeah, I have to get up at fucking 6 to get to Rutgets
  Rutgers
  meeting my book publisher on the way
3:58 PM Miriam: When do you finish?
 me: 12
  might have lunch with publisher afterwatds
3:59 PM Miriam: Wanna meet at 4?
 me: sure
  come to my place, I'll need to be at home to do a few things
 Miriam: what train do I take?
4:00 PM me: except that I'll need to respond to more attacks by that time
  JMZ or L
  Flushing or Morgan stop, respectively
  wait
 Miriam: closest to your apt?
 me: you're coming from Queens
  Flushing is closet
  closest
  think you can get on JMZ, right?
4:01 PM Miriam: No, from the upper east side of manhattan.
 me: ah-so grasshopper
  man, I feel great
  I'm free from this nonsense
  going to do some good old-fashioned couch surfing
 Miriam: Yay!
 me: won't be responsible for others
  I'm wiped out financially but I don't care
  I'm going to be able to get so much more work done
4:02 PM Miriam: No shit.
  When do you leave?

5 minutes
4:08 PM me: end of the month
4:09 PM Miriam: Great!
  You're headed to Crown Heights.
  ?
4:10 PM me: maybe
  might also rent a room at the place Melvin and and his uncle run
  and have Christopher crash in the living room
  since Melvin owes us some living room time
4:11 PM other option, my friend Mirna wants me to rent a room with her in Williamsburg for a month
 Miriam: Chris is coming with you? Weird!
 me: as she's leaving her apartment and moving back to Texas soon
  well, maybe
  I'd like to keep him with me so that we can better run the magazine, but isn't necessary
  as google docs, e-mail will work
4:14 PM Miriam: Have you talked to your landlord?
4:15 PM me: yep
  got it all worked out
  going to give him the 1800 deposit to cover back rent and pay him the rest owed
4:16 PM Miriam: There's no reason you should pay for Scott and Stroub. Ugh.
4:20 PM Goddamn it. I should go back to my actual job but fucking around on the library computer is so much more fun.
4:21 PM me: got to make sure landlord is paid what's owed, he's a great fellow
 Miriam: chatting with y'alls and looking up crap.
 me: not his fault that I've got degenerates to take care of
4:22 PM Miriam: YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM. I mean, as a lease holder yes. But anything outside of that, no.
 me: Well, I'm a lease holder
 Miriam: At least you're getting out soon. Whew!
4:23 PM me: yeah, again, I don't care about having lost some $4000
  In the course of a long life, a wise man abandons his baggage, etc
4:24 PM Miriam: indeed.
4:25 PM FUUUUUUCK.....putting off the inevitable. gotta wrap it up here at el job. Barf. Talk later.
4:27 PM me: adios
