(I'm going through old papers and things)

Coincidentally enough, that original FAAR person had volunteered early on that he had a blog, but wouldn't tell me what it was. My friend L. and I were at the Starbucks at the corner of Forbes and Murray (it was the summer I was obsessed w/their chocolate-chip banana cake) when I mentioned the secret blog. A most resourceful researcher, L. had it on up on the screen of her laptop within minutes, um, before I...had time to...object....on moral grounds... Anyway, the blog was quite unintentionally funny, and she and I discussed blog references to which I might airily refer, and proprietary phrasing I could use just enough to make him a bit freaked out, but not enough to give it away.

I should mention that this was when it was beginning to become clear that he wasn't a very good guy. I never did the subtle references, but I think I eventually told him about the discovery and the subtle reference plan, which looking back seems considerably more malevolent.

You should send me some kind of secret link so I can figure out exactly who-all this refers to.

Shouldn't it really be "Lore 'n Ipsum?"

G - well, you know who L is, of course. And check your email.

And it should really be "Lauren Ipsum," but someone got to that first.

I said sea slugs, actually. But dead clams - so evocative! I was also thinking recently about "I hope somebody uses me!" DON'T LET THEM DOWN.

OMG! Are you talking about "Moon Over Pittsburgh"? I swear to GOD I'll blow my brains out if you dated that guy. Please don't let it be that guy. Please. Or else, kill me now.
