talkin not typing papers blues

I saw Jillian, Cristina and Pan Pan last weekend. I was foul-smelling and showing the signs of consciousness of a vase of daisies, but it was really nice. I don't know if I got that across, what with my pistels, stamens and my unkempt corolla and everything. We had coffee with Anton and discussed zingerman's, alt.zingerman's, shammas world tour 2008, pre-urban commune complit packard house, etc.
I was writing a paper on Melville then, a week ago, which I finished Tuesday. Since then I've been "thinking about"/"reading for" a Faulkner paper and I've made zero pages of progress on a word processor. And I still smell and my stimulus-response level is still pretty low. Anyway after I saw you guys Sunday I did pretty well, so I'd like to petition any tort'lums who can make it to come for cocktails tomorrow at Ashley's so that I can sponge-brain some more and write my paper. Please? Cream biscuits are included.
Here is the central question to my graduate studies so far: The law, is it everywhere that it proclaims itself to be, or is it just where people act to enforce it? It's a tough call. What do you think? the fun thing about the question is that once you've asked it, you're no longer qualified to answer! if you recognize that the law exists, you can't see its outside anymore. unless you say you can?
anyway the supreme court decided the state still has the power over your life via needles.

Oh! First of all,CONGRATULATIONS on completing the year! [Applause + Confetti] Second, you were quite conscious and did not smell. In fact, we discussed how good and happy you looked even with all the work. Third, love how you termed the comp lit house a "pre-urban commune". Fourth, it makes me so happy to hear that you had a productive evening after the quality time we spent at Ashley's! I am most sorry to miss another opportunity to drink and eat sweet cream biscuits. gAH! Fifth, LOVE this question and your ponderings.

if a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
if the law is not enforced, does it exist?
you guys are my favorite (and only) cohort.
