cool new anagram for today: American Online = Re: Mail in Ocean. which might explain where all those dead emails are. think of all the potential romances, relationships, human communication – all lost in the electronic blips. i agonize over such things. i had a boyfriend once who said that he thought that the notion of letters getting lost in the mail, molding in some dead-letter office, never to be delivered and irrevocably changing the course of history was romantic. i think that’s the first clue i had that we weren’t meant to be. last year the stanford post office endured a rather embarassing scandal after one of the postal workers was caught throwing out buckets of undelievered mail, presumably because he was too lazy to sort it into individual mail boxes. hey, maybe that’s why my college romances never worked out.
