The T&R Train, 11/26/06: "After desayuno we'll climb the biggest pyramid in the world, bigger at the base than even the largest Egyptian pyramids. Now it has a Catholic church perched on top. This is kind of a metaphor for Mexico. ... We've also seen more ads for ANACONDAS!!! and an art exhibit of frogs with huge naughty bits."

TTF: "POSTCARD BY TIMO"

SPF, 9/25/98: "There is a path around the lake and at lunch time a bizarre assortment of humans patrol the perimeter. A really pained-looking woman running, a couple of goth girls heading towards the water and just now this woman on roller blades stopped at the drinking fountain and is holding up her very small dog so it can drink, weird."

The only entertainment has been lying in the sun and listening to Kienan have conversations with himself regarding the eating of human fingers. Wul, aah beep beep aah wiz wiz."

Have you ever considered dying your skin? ... Now that I live on my own, I am not only unfashionable (for UNL), I wear dirty clothes. ... Sorry to confuse you a few weeks ago, but I heard you had found a man. My mistake."
