    oh, heart heart heart.

    Chances a random shoe left in a yard in East Nashville is Mimi’s: 1 in 12

    How many shoes has Mimi left in someone’s random yard? This does not surprise me.

    Oh Salome, to answer that I’d have to go clean her room and see just how many single shoes I could find.

    So you probably don’t need the miniature hippo I got for you at the British Museum? They had no hippos at the Louvre, which it turns out is like Disneyland in all aspects except there are no rides and the security people carry automatic weapons.
    I’d advise that you not drink so much (at least not so much as to demand that particular song), but I just learned that Ecstacy creates long term brain changes that interfer with seratonin uptake, so I have no advice to give.
    I can, however, continue to recommend the Evangelicals as a placebo for all mood-altering substances. It’s like cold shandy on a hot day.

    Oh oh oh… You guys need to make HCT t-shirts with those facts listed on the back, like tour dates on a band shirt.
