August 1, 2004: absolute cellphonefunk

such a weird time!

ms. liz zach was the first to go of my friends, and it was a sad event. it will become very weird very fast, dave 5000 and I won't be leaving until the end of august, so we will get to watch most people leave. I don't need to elaborate on related emotions because whatever I would say has been said already.

this saturday is erica hart's birthday. she's probably the only non combatant to have followed combatrhino since the beginning, albeit secretly! anyways you really should wish her a happy birthday. activities planned but its not my place to say so you can just wait

here is the anecdotal aspect of this, such a gracious entry to modern literature
at our store we keep a box of free things. the decision to put any item in the box is fairly random, I'm sure there are "valuable" items in there, its just we have very little room.
but the other day, the days of the free box are LOST FOREVER!!!!!!!
at about midday on Saturday the 30th, someone took the free box. TECHNICALLY speaking, this is legitimate by the rules (see my post on the porch people, it was a high profile member of them). I think he sold some of it at a shop down the street. I find this both hilarious and weird. while not everyone likes to thrift shop, everyone loves free things. Todd Wyatt believes omaha is obsessed with free things, in fact.
I have no grool conclusion, but be wary that I will be watching if you steal the free box.
