I got my new computer today.

So this is it, party people. Loretta's on her way out, and Nanci's here to stay, if only for a few years. I won't be loading SG on her.

So, in essence, this is goodbye.

To anyone who bothered to read this, thank you. To anyone who came back to read it again, I'm sorry. To Clara, um, both....

I was amused by the birthday IM. If you decide to come back I'll probably still be here.

Hey. I've cancelled my membership. December 14th. In the end, I'm just not scene enough.

Get used to not hearing from me. As if you couldn't do without...
clara:
You sound kind of cranky. Everything ok?

Hey, I read what you said to the squirrel. It keeps making me laugh. Screw the scensters. Stay on SG, your cool. P.S. Jordan is a cutie. How was lost in translation? I've heard good and bad.

If you think this is funny, I heart you. I heart you a lot. Woot.

I woke up this morning to the sound of a squirrel scuttering into my room. I yelled, "Ah!" but it was so uninspired that it was barely even an exclamation. I only said it 'cause I felt like I had to, if that makes any sense.

I didn't know how to get rid of him, so I just opened the window more, threw a shoe...

I have things to say, but no one really to tell them to.

Today, while the teacher was going on about the characteristics of the effective listener, I grew frustrated with the daunting task of interpersonal communication and craved the cold embrace of a beer. And this bothered me.

One day, I could be posthumously famous.

I honked my horn in frustration today for the...

It's 9:00 Sunday evening. You know what that means.

Baseball vs. astrology.

My horoscope says I should meet her today.

However, the Marlins are starting Beckett.

[update: Becket and the Marlins won. However, I chose astrology and lost.]

For my twenty-fifth birthday, I got the most beautiful day of the year and a hangover.

Neither was wrapped.
clara:
It was cold and cloudy here. Lucky bitch.

This just in: lime Skittles can be used to replace actual limes when consuming tequila.

If this discovery applies to you, I'm so very sorry.

[aside: you should hear Smofe & Smang: Live in Minneapolis by Mike Doughty (formerly of Soul Coughing). I'll be happy to burn you a copy. It's lyrical genius, I tells you.]
clara:
If I'm replacing limes I'd rather use orange slices. They're actually quite nice.
clara:
Happy Birthday!

Alcohol is simultaneously killing me and keeping me alive.

Unfortunately, I'm uncertain as to which pace is faster, my destruction or my salvation.
clara:
If you start shitting blood you'll know destruction is winning.

Finished Brave New World. Food for thought. Maybe not an entire meal, but at least an hors d'oeuvre, I guess.

I want to take a walk, but it's getting late, and I have to wake up early. On top of which, I'm unsure of the late-evening civility of the folks in this neighborhood, if you catch my drift. But it certainly is pleasant outside, all...

autumn is a good time to walk.

Huxley seemed to be a bit of a ponce to me. his stories are interesting, but his fear of the misuse of technology seems to over rule anyn possibility of him accepting the benefits of technology.

'sides, i found 1984 by Orwell more intimidating. never again will i read that book, even i need to sleep sometimes.
clara:
HT boy did mention he's in a band, but since he's nothing more than eye candy I figure it's ok.

I personally don't care what Huxley's message was at this point. I just daydream about living in a world without care. If you don't know your life is without meaning you're not missing one damn thing.
