SCHIZO:

so what the hell happened to your muelas? they got fixed?

i had xrays done and a cleaning, just to do it. i need two wisdom teeth pulled and to get rid of the exposed root from where my crown wasn't fixed right/came out... all of this will fix where my front lower teeth sorta overlap, naturally, too. so this coming monday i'll have the busted crown taken care of, then next friday the teeth are out, and i can have the weekend to recover.

damn! sounds very hardcore all at once. good thing you'll have time to sleep it off. just don't mix antibiotics w/ etOH!

best wishes to you,

--ibuprofen 800

oh, ill be stocked up. i'm stoked to get it all knocked out... pain hasn't been that bad lately at least.

how are you?

im alright-- a bit of a day off. didn't sleep too well last night so i'm a zombie today. the good thing about it is that when i embrace laziness i do it wholeheartedly-- i don't halfass it with guilt or other nonsense, but drink deep from the well instead.

yeah, i have nothing to do all day. just working on a cover letter and listening to music. too hot to do anything if i wanted to.

i love the present. the present is sweeeeeetttt.

could be better (or maybe i'm impatient) but nonetheless. if i had my swimsuit i'd hit the pool, or something.

probably too many judgments ha ha

i love days when i have nothing to do and i do exactly nothing

it's pure delight

i'm struggling to write a cover letter that also serves as a writing sample. jfc. i have my name and address on it so far.

thank god, it's about to pour soon

dammit i forgot to reply to antagon's impressive video list

i see fantastic mr. fox made the feature slot! awesome. lots of good things in that list-- venture bros. bowie clips cracked me up.

mary and max were assholes in the end-- weren't they?

can i ask? a cover letter for what? (how nosy of me)

lapham's quarterly internship!

Kick that letter's ass! I subscribed to Laphams when it first came out, awesome awesoome, but I lost my subscription when I was broke and jobless.

they did an issue about color years back that's one of my favorite things probably ever. this past issue is "swindles and frauds" or something to that extent. ugh. and it's PAID. i need this.

ahhh...

this isn't an ordinary letter.

i really don't know.

why do you want the internship? (i mean besides the pay)

meanwhile, i'm reading lapham's essay for the swindles issue. very funny.

want the experience of research/writing, mostly.

looks like they like to do their own writing and research would be the thing they want minions for.

is this a new york thing? or can you remote-intern?

i smell money & ivy leaguers.

also love the fact that lapham makes long sentences of the kind that give the majority of americans blistering headaches.

ps- where's the job description?

http://www.laphamsquarterly.org/about#internships

it's nyc. paid. with an MTA pass. i can chill at my friend's place in brooklyn for a while though.

i love david foster wallace almost as much as life itself, so you can picture me loving laphams

Interested candidates should demonstrate a grounding in the history of ideas and an understanding of the Quarterly’s mission with the submission of a cover letter, resume, and three potential readings for an issue on “Fashion.” A writing sample is not necessary, cover letters will be taken to serve as such.

that's your task right there, then-- the goal of your cover letter

3 potential readings -- you picked those yet? (i'm curious)
