Miriam: So, taking bus in am b/c trains want my first born and soul, meeting at Pacifico with my pals, g train to Carroll. Wanna join?
me: can't, got to finish this Vanity Fair piece tonight as part of my ongoing campaign to discredit certain prominent commentators and increase my own influence
Miriam: Zombie Hut on Smith street. Some all day lunacy. I'm missing the city terribly right now.
Miriam: You must not hang on the south Bklyn tip much?
me: nah
me: I don't leave Bushwick much these days, but will start going out more when I move in with Mirna
Miriam: Why the introspective commentary on girls and Kevin Smith cronies yesterday?
me: the Smith/Mewes thing is just interesting; I'm interested in other people's histories with opiate addiction
me: don't remember anything about girls, refresh my memory?
Miriam: I'm interested in Edie Sedgwick and her pill addiction, aside from being connected via my grandmother. Get it.
Miriam: I bet I couldn't wrangle yer arse out anyway as Fuller would we attending this gathering.
me: how's that?
me: I don't hate the guy
Miriam: He likes you but aren't you irked with him?
me: he's simply not my type
Miriam: He's an odd one. But we've always gotten along, hence us meeting.
me: I think he's kind of a pseudo-intellectual, really, but I don't really oppose seeing him
me: simply prefer my friends to be more exuberant, also
Miriam: frenetic.
Miriam: Si senor.
Miriam: agitated.
Miriam: haa ha
Miriam: How has your day been otherwise? All this mellow snowy shit is driving me upawall.
me: pretty good, just been cleaning a bit and working on a couple of things
me: I've got a phone meeting tomorrow with the head of this company out in SF
me: they ran an ad looking for a writer to help them with some stuff
me: should be good steady work
Miriam: I can't drink enough to listen to any more Ron Paul debates or comment half assed about the beauty of the Hudson river....which company?
me: some IT firm specializing in heath care
Miriam: good lord.
me: search engine sort of thing
Miriam: munney.
Miriam: is good.
Miriam: I want you to sleep over soon but my work schedule is such that I leave so early and you'd be in fucking LIC Queens. Does that sound weird?
Miriam: I mean....or not. Up to you. Anyway, crashpad. You're always welcome.
me: sure, I'll come over whenever's convenient
me: excited to get out of here, both apartment and neighborhood
Miriam: I am very pleased to not get bed bug bites while attempting to molest you.
me: well, I haven't gotten bitten for a week or so
me: I think maybe it wasn't bed bugs
me: but not taking any chances
me: going to ditch mattress, bedding
me: wash all clothes I'm taking with me
Miriam: good call!
Miriam: This fresh air and whatnot is fucking dreadful btw. I want to come home.
me: when you coming over?
me: I mean home, sorry
me: NYC
Miriam: Wah. I miss you and dig you super hard but your place is so erm....inhospitable...
Miriam: Manyana. 2 ish
Miriam: time to mainline the tequila and draw?
Miriam: :D
me: ah-so grasshopper
me: oops, got company
Miriam: have a blast
