I don't have a digital camera, so enjoy this internet picture
Well, it's been at least seven months since I've been in St. Louis, and while things have changed, the luxuries of living in a city are so much more apparent now that I've lived without them for so long. Firstly, movies. I'm going to go out and see a movie tonight. I have choices! I want to see the Cohen Brother's new movie, but I promised my parents I'd go see it with them. So my friend and I have to choose a movie. We have sooo many options (eat it Lakeville.), and I hope we go see the Bob Dylan documentary. That'llbenice.

I went to my friend's new apartment yesterday night. His whole life is completely changed. He's working at QuickTrip, and soon he'll be a salaried employee. His apartment is empty. We lead completely different lives, except he had an X-Box. It was the one detail of familiarity that created in my mind an entire connection between his life and mine. For a moment, it was completely possible in my mind that playing Halo would lead me to his life. Hopefully that's not true. And besides, he really likes playing ultra-realistic racing games. Yuck. It was good to see him even as he 'grows' up.

Why the quotes?

Who knows.

NB:
St. Louis has the highest rate of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea according to the CDC. It is also the most friendly city to cigarette smokers according to Forbes magazine. Random facts about my fair city.
