Per miscellaneous third party observation, I am significantly less flagrantly neurotic now compared to any year for which the data has been collected.



That's precisely the kind of data I need to give a proper send-off to the charred, scabby remains of my early 20s.

SQUEE.

1. A delightfully worded hand-scribed note from a roomie at my very first apartment protesting my maintenance of the communal cheese supply

2. A very small perl script for, ahem, falsifying time clock records

3. An adorable little attempt at head-hunting from Friendster circa 05ish ( remember them? )

4. A lengthy series of lists of things to do in Portland Oregon. ( Voodoo Donuts! and about 37 strip clubs )

5. Apallingly huge quantities of bad haikus

FUCKING WINE PAIRINGS in their monthly shipment. This month: 2004 Paringa Sparkling Shiraz. Teehee.



P.S. "Corn cob smoking is a traditional style of smoking in Northern New England. It is more pungent and less sweet than Applewood."
