11:56 AM Catalina: dont kill yourself
 me: fine
 Catalina: thanks
 me: no problem, yo!
11:57 AM how's the baby?
  fresh-faced?
 Catalina: i think she might be drunk
 me: I see
11:58 AM Catalina: she is fresh faced though
  and she looks at you when you call her name
 me: that's a good start
 Catalina: which is a terrible thing
11:59 AM me: a lot of females don't do that for me
 Catalina: exactly
  she shouldnt be doing that
 me: she needs a strong female role model
  hey, perhaps you!
 Catalina: umm...
  yeah
  i spent half the day arguing with carl
 me: find her a married baby to go out with
12:00 PM Catalina: then i took some old benzos i found in my moms bathroom
  it was almost bedtime
 me: ME AND LORENZO ROLLING IN A BENZO
 Catalina: i had to be carried upstairs to bed
  not a good role model
12:01 PM me: the baby already does that, so not much help there
 Catalina: yes
  we're too much alike
  she has nothing to learn from me
  i am glad you're not going to kill yourself
 me: maybe you should wait a few years
12:02 PM lol I would never kill myself, that's gay
 Catalina: however, if you still have the urge to kill, kill the old man please
 me: I would go out shooting
  probably at CNN offices
  old man?
 Catalina: carl
12:03 PM me: he's the old man now?
  what were you guys arguing about?
 Catalina: he's been the old man
  i dont even know
  but he always manages to ruin my family time
 me: me shooting the other man is too obvious
 Catalina: yeah, well ill get melvin
 me: Melvin's the responsible one now
12:04 PM relatively
 Catalina: now i cant do it
  because i wrote about it
  great
 me: yeah, see
12:05 PM of course, if this was accessible, everyone would know about that time you cut off a lock of that girl's hair so you could smell it and then you attached it to some plastic woman
  etc
  you could shoot the plastic woman
 Catalina: thats not what happened
  i atatched it to my roommate
 me: my memory's a little hazy
 Catalina: attached
  i like atatched
  new word
12:06 PM me: some douchebag challenged me to a debate earlier this week
  yeah, it is a pretty word, surprisingly
 Catalina: it when you attack someone by attaching yourself to them
 me: now he's nowhere to be found
 Catalina: oh
 me: I told him wednesday
 Catalina: well he lost
 me: well, I just reminded him this morning
12:07 PM Catalina: and...
 me: the guy's probably the stupidest fuck I will have ever interacted with other than Nelson
  but for some reason he's considered to be a respectable commentator
  to some extent, anyway
  and he's from
  Florida
  wait
 Catalina: of course
12:08 PM me: So, the challenge is there Mr. Brown, an honest, open debate. Bring it on! You want to bash the South? And Stacy McCain and others who defend it? BRING IT ON!
  AARRRRRRGRGRGRHR!!1221212
 Catalina: oh i read that
 me: ah
  so, yeah
  that guy
12:11 PM met with Andrew Stein last night, he's already got some basic schematics for this newish information technology thingy with which Charles Johnson and I plan to improve the means of info accessibility between the better blogs while also bringing further pressure on those outlets that employ the crappier of commentators
12:12 PM Catalina: productive
  i gotta go
 me: going to hint at it in this Vanity Fair piece, already alluded to it in book, and will meanwhile try to recruit more bloggers to participate onc
  adios
 Catalina: family time
 me: have fun with baby
 Catalina: bye
