I’m watching the X-Files, and I just don’t get it. I think maybe it’s because I watch the X-Files stroboscopically, a show here, a show there. It could also be because this projector unit is too dim.

Thanks again to the hundreds (okay, okay, dozens) who have sent me cheer-up emails, icqs, cards, flowers, and dancing girls. I’ll be sure to remember you all when your current love interest copulates with a guy named Rupert.

I’m really feeling a lot better. I did the ritual Reclaiming-of-Stuff on Friday, dumping off three years’ worth of stuff, and getting my answering machine and the little computer I’d loaned her. Some of my friends had urged me to get the VCR and Playstation, but no, those were gifts I’d given her; I just wanted what was rightfully mine.

Many thanks to all of you who sent me cheer-up emails (or bought me dinner, Rod). I really appreciate your support.

I’m feeling a lot better. I think typing all of this has helped a lot; rather like a mental ablution.

Loss And Gain

[H. W. Longfellow]

When I compare

What I have lost with what I have gained,

What I have missed with what attained,

Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware

How many days have been idly spent;

How like an arrow the good intent

Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare

To measure loss and gain in this wise?

Defeat may be victory in disguise;

Is it just me, or is this terrifying?

What is he DOING, exactly, anyways?

It looks like Cisco promptly removed Mike’s little page. Luckily, Bellsouth’s sucky cache-servers saved the day. Mike’s page is mirrored here, in all it’s glory.

Before you EVER think to yourself, “I suck, I’m so L@m3, I should drink bleach,”
REMEMBER… there are people who make badly drawn anime girls their site mascot…
And then there are those people who will idolize said mascots….
And then there is the special class of loser who buys a Special Limited Edition Print with a mascot on it…..

There, don’t you feel better? Now put down the gun.

My Metal Gear Name is “Lutfisking Gorilla“, though I’m not sure I should admit it.

Yay! I’m off to Atlanta for the next two days, where I’ll be staying with my pal Whois (I forget his real name). Jeff and I are going to the Nine Inch Nails concert Saturday night, so if you’re one of the three people who actually read this site, maybe we’ll see you there. =]

Oh yeah, this is definitely nightmare-fodder. Genetically-engineered goats produce spider webs. EEK! At least Marvel Comics can produce a whole new hero: SpiderGoat!
