The continuing adventures of Jim's search for thumbtacks down under Day 13: still no sign of thumbtacks. just kidding, i found some. but i'm just saying, it took me like 6 stores to find them. I used to want to write a blog/short story/great american novel named "Being Gary Wingo". when i signed up for AT&T, i took over the phone number (they recycle them) from a guy named gary wingo. apparently, gary didn't tell anyone he was changing phones. i got calls for him all the time. and apparently, gary had some legal problems. i got messages from various bondsmen and county offices about how i (gary) was supposed to appear in court. i got a collect call from colorado state penitentiary on christmas day. i didn't accept. anyway, i thought it might make a good story. moved in to my apartment, now collecting furniture and such. people give you funny looks when you board a train carrying a microwave. wtf are you looking at buddy? that's what i thought.
