Morning. AB, I can't wait to see you. Good times, good times.

I'm out until Wednesday, y'all. Oh, how I wish I had a laptop.

Thursday, T. It's on.

Sad, slow MATH day!

What do y'all think about WriterGirl? She sure is talking a lot of smack these days.

I think she's a smacktalker. I guess she needs attention? I don't know, but she's acting like a fool.

AB, I am so behind on your visit preparations. Is Master V coming, too? I gots to call you again and get all the info and all that. The MOC was giving me all the details and I was like "Why do YOU know everything?"

Not having e-mail access during the day makes everything harder. I've been sort of busy every night the past week, and I'm all tired and hate everybody, 'cept the MATHeletes, of course.

Anyway, we're going to have a big time. Lots of boozing. Lots of eating. Lots of... other stuff? I don't know. You HAVE to go to the Coke Museum. I mean, it's a museum for Coke. And the High Museum of Art is also nice. Heeeee. No, the High is awesome. The Coke Museum is so crazy you have to see it.

We should also go to that club "Chaos," which I always read as your last name, but could actually be some crazy hip-hop place where we'll get stabbed.

Oh, and also, T and AB, both of you should meet Elizabeth in my office. She reads you both and is all into it and hell, she got me this job, yo, so we should give her some special MATH Award for Greatness, because if I didn't have the job, I would just be sitting at home, wearing Bill Lowe's old sweaters, drinking vodka mixed with Hershey's syrup.

Drinking. Eating. Drinking. Mmmm...

I have been to the High Museum! During the Olympics, with the Picasso exhibit. Love.

Yes, Master V is coming, but I booked my flight before him, and he's trying to get the same one, but he might not be able to. We maybe have to take extra trip to airport!

I think my flight gets in at 9:00 Thursday night. Somewhere around there.

Hey-

I'm on nights again, so a stealth "Hi!" from our new digs in Tyson's Corner, Va., as I come in to use the credit union.

I can't get into hotmail! That's so sad. Booooo!

Aw! Berman, I write you back, too.

I know! I'm out for a couple of days and WG goes even more haywire. Who would have known?

I can't imagine it's easy to piss off Omar, though.

No, he's a pretty reasonable guy. I don't know what's up with her, except that I assume whatever she's trying to say is just coming across the wrong way. I guess. That, and she's an immature smacktalker.

Right on both counts, I think, Al. She wrote Omar a long-ass apology, blah blah, and said something like, "Well, my Monday hasn't been ruined, but the journal is most certainly going on hiatus."

I mean, Jesus. Melodramatic, much? I think she just gets herself all up in people's grills, then kisses ass to get out of them.
