I’ve become a big fan of David Sedaris after reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. I’ll post a few blurbs – I’m literally laughing out loud, almost uncontrollably so, at least once every ten minutes. The guy is good. I’m plowing through this book, which I purchased on Monday evening. Tracy suggested him to me, ages ago. And when I…

Got installed today. It’s shiny and new and lovely as all get-out. It gleams hard and makes everything else in my apartment look old and out of date. Just fucking gorgeous.

Here, Dr. Hibber is trying to reassure Hugo (Bart’s twin who’s been locked in the attic for years) that everything is OK. He picks up a mirror and says "I bet you’ve never even seen your own reflection have you?" As Hugo moves closer to see his reflection, Hibbert reveals that the mirror is only an empty frame and slugs…

I didn’t zoom in on this to give you a sense of perspective. It’s not huge, but it seemed enormous to me. This is a corner of my bedroom, and I saw the thing scurrying around as I was in bed reading. Now I don’t hate spiders. They’re necessary, and natural and all that. I just don’t care to have…

Took today off to wait for Ameritech to arrive. I wasn’t sure if they needed to come inside or not, but I decided to play it safe and wait, just in case. Yesterday, I arrived at home to find this beauty: By 2:30, I got most of my books alphabetized, organized and shelved. And DSL activated. Yeah!

Day 2. Everyone was a little fuzzy, trying to get up to meet folks at the Art Museum by 11. I conked out early, and got a good bit of teasing regarding my snoring. Among my friends, it’s a known thing how bad I snore. Now that I’ve had a national sampling of opinions, my snoring problem has increased in…

Before I knew it, WH folk started showing up at my place. 09/27/2002 I believe. First, Dustin and Sherie show up, followed shortly by Z and jverbal. A few drinks into the evening, Derrickito (of www.derrickito.com fame) passed through the doorway. I was putting together a table so that everyone could have a place to sit. We threw down some…

Man, I don’t even remember exactly when this took place. Two weekends ago? September 29 was when I moved, I think. Anymore, time is really hazy to me. At the very least, I thought I’d post a few pics from the move and the subsequent work-week craziness. Right after the move, we had to migrate about 15 sites over to…
