Lisa and Architecture for Humanity

Lisa took two weeks off vacation time from work to volunteer for Architecture for Humanity to rebuild New Orleans. Some beautiful and haunting thoughts from the pimpmaster herself:

i think i'm really considering leaving neworleans early
it's really depressing here
not the people
but the place
so much time
so little done
and individuals do what individuals can
but top down action hasn't been had
and the monied riches riffle for more
so the individuals do what individuals can
while the masses move their mountain abodes
closer to the water's edge
it's sad and depressing here
and i don't think i can take much more

Don't leave! We'd be lost without folks like you who actually take the time to mend this earth. Mad props from the motherland.

Shots of Apple Vinegar

Running against your friends on the new Nikeplus website is probably not a good idea when a.) you have negative caloric intake and b.) most of the running you've been doing lately has been to the toilet.

That said, I've been eating nothing but jook, saltine crackas, salty plums, more jook, and two-second shots of apple cider vinegar. Alvin would be so proud.
