My last night here before my life goes back to DC. Farewell to having a clean kitchen sink.

Yesterday at Pourhouse, a friend and I met an earnest girl who's learning sign language at Gally. I wasn't in mood for a "how do you like Gally so far?" convo with a stranger signing haltingly so I opted to concentrate my efforts on convincing her that the campus was designed by a 19th century pornographer. I told her if she looked at the layout from a high elevation, say the Washington Monument, a female nude would be visible. The circular road in front of KDES and another circular road in the back formed a set of racks and so forth. My friend went along and tossed in some details of his own making. We told her that Edward Gallaudet didn't know about it until it was too late.

She was skeptical until she asked a random guy what kind of picture the campus formed. The jig was almost up but I managed to give him the correct answer just outside her "eyeshot" and he accidentally formed the perfect "you didn't know this?!" face as he said, "woman."

That did it for her. You should've seen her face.
