Catalina: i know its extremely offensive and clever
Catalina: the person that came up with that must truly be a genius

Catalina: ok
Catalina: i heard about it
Catalina: i will
me: it's about redheads and why they must all be murdered

Catalina: how i am not fired is a mystery
me: speaking of which
me: Caleb got promoted
me: now writing and voicing his own segments on occasion
me: and I received this in my e-mail box this morning
me: re: psi phenomena:

Should this interest you....

An aspect of the "mind" does transcend space and time, and
researchers at Princeton University have verified that fact, based
on material submitted to them.

I'll provide exact details, but a 'phone conversation is suggested
first....

me: they've been doing similar stuff
Catalina: what the fuck is the mind anyway
Catalina: how are they defining it?
me: I don't know, I'll have to find out
me: this fellow seems to be somewhat accomplished in the field, though, like a legitimate academic based on what I've googled of him
me: or at least not crazy
Catalina: well his field sounds like bullshit to me
Catalina: i mean im sure its not to him
me: your mom
Catalina: but it sounds flaky
me: certainly
Catalina: yes my mom
me: but so does string theory
Catalina: reminds me i have to get her something
me: oh shit

Catalina: if i had kids thats what id want

Catalina: oh i see
Catalina: i called austria without a calling card
Catalina: im so stupid sometimes
Catalina: caleb didnt tell me about his promotion
Catalina: guess he doesnt want his wifey hitting him up for money
Catalina: yesterday my roommate was really telling me all about the espn scandal
Catalina: but i had taken an ambien
Catalina: so i fell asleep on her
Catalina: not ON her
Catalina: while she was talking
me: yes, I understood
Catalina: so i cant remember what she was telling me
Catalina: and i dont really want her to talk to me about it
me: that also happens to me when my dad tries to tell me about why the Feds indicted him back in the day and I zone out without any drugs being involved at all just because I find his voice hypnotic
Catalina: i dont want the possibility of being involved in this ion any way
Catalina: oh, thats kinda cool
Catalina: may i have his number
Catalina: ill call him when i cant sleep and dont have ambien
Catalina: apparently carl is cutting me off
me: you don't want to talk to him, his Texan-ness would blow up your brain
me: he's a fucking insane great white hunter and all-around criminal
Catalina: sounds lovely
me: thinking of having a bbq on Saturday
Catalina: cool
Catalina: you should
