What the fuck happened? I just wrote a longass post and now it's GONE.
God dammit, I want my money back.

Since Fiona's been away I've
Since Fiona's been away I've been doing a lot of thinking about things
lately. It's nice to have the time by myself. I'd have to say that
things are going pretty damn well with my life right now. Fiona and I
are about to move into our first place together, my relationship with
Matt is good again, and my student loans are almost all paid off. My
mom's pretty sick, but I truly feel that she's going to get better.
Sometimes I worry though, but there's nothing I can do except shower
her with love. So that's what I'm doing.
I'd really like to develop this blog into something. I do hate that
word though. "Blog". It sounds so trite. I guess it starts as something
as lame-sounding as "blog", but I'd like to develop this into a record.
Of how I'm thinking and what's going on with me and the world around
me. So that I remember, because God knows there's so much I've already
forgotten.
This time next year I hope to again be standing on the brink of a
precipice. Hopefully we'll have around $30,000 saved up. Not a day goes
by when I don't have electricity shoot across my scalp at the thought
of June 1, 2004. What will I be doing? Where will I be going? What will
I be thinking about? O I'm all tingly.

Just picked up the keys
Just picked up the keys to the new apartment. It's really nice.
Hardwood floors, good light, even a chandelier. I'm not really looking
forward to moving in, especially with my Ridiculously Large Couch, but
once we get settled it'll be sweet.
Imagine, me and Fiona living alone together. It's going to be weird - I
mean we've NEVER really been alone (except for a few days in Khao Sok
and Bangkok). What if we drive each other insane? Not that I think we
will. I'm sure it'll be awesome.
<wink>I'm especially looking forward to movie/sex
day</wink>

Diez Knees Oh my God.
Diez Knees
Oh my God. I biked to work last
Wednesday and it wound up taking me an HOUR and 45 MINUTES. It must've
been at least 15 miles. I don't know how I could have underestimated
it, but my map-reading skills definitely need to be honed a bit if I'm
planning on walking across Italy. My knees are fucking killing me. I
actually woke up from the pain this morning and had to stagger to Rite
Aid for some Aleve.
Sweet Jesus on a Buddha, deliver me from this agony.

Guns N' Fuckin Roses
So Scott Weiland is fronting Guns N' Roses now? Jeezis. He's OK, but
he's certainly no Axl Rose. I'd like to see his skinny ass incite a
riot.
However, my GnR brethren will be thrilled to know that it looks like
Izzy's back in effect and has "chipped in" with some of the
songwriting. Apparently a bunch of people have tried out for the spot,
with Weiland beating out the likes of Courtney Love, Travis Meeks, and
Sebastian Bach. Get a load of this, though:
"Bach, who exited the touring production of Jesus Christ Superstar after a spat with producers..."Sorry,
what was that? The guy who wore an "AIDS kills fags dead" T-shirt to a
Rolling Stone cover shoot is into theater now? MmmHmm. Right. More here...

It puts the lotion in the basket, or else it gets the hose....
This is the type of creepy-ass shit that the media is too scared to touch. From the New York Times:
Every community has its resident crank: a junk-hoarding, pigeon-feeding loner whose behavior might be irksome but is seldom menacing. Here in this upscale suburb of Syracuse, John T. Jamelske, 67, could often be seen sifting through cans at the local recycling center or driving along Route 92 in one of his rusty old clunkers, his white hair flying in the wind. ''He was a strange bird, but we have a lot of strange birds around here,'' said James DiStefano, the town supervisor. But Mr. Jamelske, a retired handyman, is now accused of being more than just a harmless eccentric. He was arrested last week after a 16-year-old girl told the police that Mr. Jamelske had held her captive for six months in a concrete bunker beneath the backyard of his home.They've taken the story down (it's $2.95 to buy it), but here are the basics: This psycho built a series of concrete bunkers underneath his backyard. There were a couple of cells, each with a portable camping toilet, a mattress, a tv, and a bible (insert wry comment here). Jamelske would prey on runaway teenage girls who "wouldn't be missed" and kidnap them. Then he'd put them in these underground cells and keep them there for up to TWO YEARS, over the course of which he'd systematically rape and abuse them. Over the course of their confinement Jamelske would convince them that he was a cop and when he finally dropped them off in front of their homes he'd tell them that if they ever said anything he'd hunt them down and kill their entire family. At one point one of the girls actually went to the police, but they didn't believe her because she had a history of drug addiction. In the end, he only got discovered because one of his victims managed to get him to take her to the dump with him, from where she managed to call her sister and leave her a short message. It really makes you wonder how many of these sociopaths there are. I mean, think about how many women disappear every year without a trace. How many of them are being kept in underground cells? But back to our regularly scheduled newscast. Next up - Laci Peterson/Elizabeth Smart/Chandra Levy....

Fiona's in Australia right now.
Fiona's in Australia right now. Her sister's getting married in a few
hours and I'm stuck here pretending to give a crap about work. It sucks
because I'm sitting here working on bullshit webapps for this crappy
client who doesn't give a fuck to begin with. I should've just told
them I'd be "working from home for the next 3 weeks" and split. They
never would've known the difference.

I'm so excited. And I
I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and
I think I like it.
