    As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
    At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

    I just wish the usps store wasn't so slow. Both times I ordered from them it took like 3 weeks. So I usually try to just go to the post office.

    That's absolutely hilarious. I was in the post office this morning sending out a package and thought, "I haven't seen a stamp dispensing machine in such a long time...."

    It took then a week to fill my (less than $50) order and a couple of days from there to ship it. You would think it would be faster than that, but maybe it's still all done by hand.

    So I just realized that you meant an actual atm sells stamps and not those stamp selling machines. I didn't know you can get stamps from an atm.

    All in all, kind of a poor showing for January, sorry.


    10 in and 7 out.


    I started tracking and graphing my ins and outs last year. Here are the final totals for a single (crazy) person's letter writing, for a year.







    Is anyone interested in my continuing to post these each month? Should I start new graphs for the new year (InCoWriMo year obviously)?

    It has been quite an adventure.

    Thank you all.

    Forgot to add the year end totals: (Feb 1 2014 - Jan 31 2015)
    In 301, Out 476

    Day one, I wrote a letter to my cousin in prison to go out tomorrow using a Pilot Precise V7 filled with Levenger Amethyst and a (boring quadrille paper) handmade envelope. I addressed it using a Zebra R-301. No fountain pens were used or harmed in the making of this letter.
