WatchZadie Smith’s White Teeth is one of my favorite novels. I picked it up towards the end of college and finished it (crying) while flying to see my dad for the first time in 12 years.

I think I have a twin in Minneapolis?
Just stumbled onto this craigslist ad by way of my “I love bad movies” google alert and am made almost uncomfortable by the echoes of my old ads and current obsessions.

Four more days to go.

I’m so excited, I’ll probably pee my pants.
See you guys in a week.
