3:43 PM Joshua: why would you do that
 me: one bourbon
  one scotch
  one beer
3:44 PM I'm fleeing from this apartment
 Joshua: i know - excited
 me: going to have to owe Moshe
  Andy has drained me of all resources
  Scott too
  but
  I shall bounce back
 Joshua: you will survive
 me: as long as I know how to love
 Joshua: what's the plan
 me: Mirna and I are going to play house
3:45 PM I'm going to get a part-time job as smoke joint
  wait for a couple of these projects to pay off
  mum's the word on Mirna and I
 Joshua: who would i tell
 me: she's worried about my derelict friends finding us for some reason
  yeah
  no one
  she thinks Andy
  doesn't realize no one likes him
3:46 PM pretend to be surprised when she tells you
  she enjoys conspiracies
 Joshua: john said he was moving in with rebecca
 me: yep
 Joshua: that's good
  maybe he can sort that out
 me: gave me a check the other day, took it back, ran off with Rebecca to buy crack
 Joshua: i c
 me: this is my karma for my own irresponsibilities of past years
3:47 PM or, rather, just a coincidence
  at any rate
 Joshua: well put sir
 me: we look forward to having you and Divya over for our inevitable dinner parties
 Joshua: and i look forward to loathing mirna's dog
3:48 PM ...to it's face anyway
 me: wow
  that was uncalled for
3:49 PM why does everyone hate that dog?
  nevermind
  I don't want to know
 Joshua: it's fun
  that and it continually pissed and shat in our apt
  and i had to clean all of it
 me: anyway, take this computer if you want it, you can have it for free, otherwise I'm just going to throw it out
 Joshua: andrew just ignored it
3:50 PM will do... son
 me: too heavy
 Joshua: heavy!!!
 me: I'm ditching all but my laptop and clothes
  dig it man lol slang
 Joshua: what of your bed

 Joshua: where are you gonna move
  ?
 me: moving to a one-bedroom with Mirna anyway
 Joshua: righ
3:52 PM hmmm

 Joshua: very well
 me: I've got to haul it down curbside anyway
  computer
  monitor
  certain clothes
  various knick-knacks
  I am abandoning my baggage like the wise old Chinese man
3:56 PM Joshua: so - how are you and the ladies doing?
 me: well
  Catalina's still seeing the married man
3:57 PM which is a threat to me, of course
  he doesn't know anything about us other than that she comes here
  Miriam is very, uh, enthusiastic about our budding relationship
 Joshua: not much threat as far as i can see
 me: which I am currently perpetuating as an insurance policy
  I know lol
3:58 PM Joshua: i thought she might be
 me: he's the cuckolded one
  losing his mistress to a broke degenerate zomg lol
 Joshua: lololol

4:03 PM Joshua: that'll do snake
  i can't wait to play mass effect 2

4:06 PM apparently there is no job opening at smoke joint after all
  Melvin gave me bad information
4:08 PM Joshua: oh that me l
  what else could you spend your time doing
  ?
4:09 PM you could always fall back on editing / writing papers for college kids
 me: I suppose
 Joshua: you wouldn't have to leave home
 me: would have to find those gigs
  I'm willing to leave home at this point

  rather
 Joshua: andrew is reworking the social networking in a box idea
