So my new favorite game is to filter Textsfromlastnight for 919 (my hometown area code) and to try to guess who's doing the texting. Honestly, I probably know more of these people than even I think -- one benefit (?) of being from a small city. Anyway, what's even more fun is when people from different parts of the state text each other. It's like the texts represent the various North Carolina local psyches, and they're talking to each other. Check it out:
Conversation between RTP (919) and Charlotte (704). Sounds about right:
(919): What are we going to do tonight? (704): What we try to do every night. Take over the world
Logical RTP (919) telling Lenoir (828) to get it together. Right again: (828): can't come. weird drunk guy passed out on couch. long story, tell u later. (919): wtf. wake him up, call him a cab, get over here! Pretty fun game, right? (August is boring -- what can I say.) Anyway, go nuts.
That's the view from the roof of my new apartment. Pretty killer rooftop. Also made for this pretty killer sunburn I'm sporting, following my lovely 10-hour day up there on Sunday.
Yours, EL
p.s. Yes, that view means I (finally) moved to Williamsburg. More on that soon.
