elizabethtown really IS as bad as everyone said it was!

the only redeeming part is the use of ryan adams' "come pick me up," perhaps maybe one of my favoritest songs ever. here's a live mp3, to help make your evening prettier. cause mine sure has been ruined by this crapola film.

1. catherine finds out she'll be working out at cnn.com in atlanta this summer. promptly starts freaking out about housing on the blog.

2. matt (who, incidentally, catherine knows through kyle) spends approximately two billion hours giving catherine neighborhood/general atlanta advice.

3. catherine spends approximately two billion hours on craigslist, which yields absolutely nothing.

4. matt is kind enough to post bulletins to friendster and myspace saying his clueless internet bud could sure use a decent place to live in atlanta.

5. matt's kind friend jeanie says, hey! i just bought an enormous gorgeous house in east atlanta. i might be willing to sublet a furnished room or two for the low low price of $400 including utilities and internet for however long you need.

6. catherine says hell yes!

and that is the story of how the internet saved catherine from living in a box outside of the CNN center this summer. i never thought i'd owe anything to myspace, but turns out, you just never know!

as for my dc stint, i'll be home from friday, june 9 until probably sunday the 18th, when i might head back to chicago for a few days to pack up all my worldly possessions. hopefully i'd drive back to dc by tuesday the 20th, then drive down to atlanta friday the 23rd. good lord, 26 hours of driving in one week, here i come!

and thus hopefully ends the period of catherine posting a boring blue streak about her logistical plans for the summer. praise be!
