Well, we’re back from Vegas.
We had a great time, from what I can remember. I was tipsy for about 25% of the time, so it was obviously very successful.
I had my one year blogging anniversary yesterday. I actually set everything up at the end of January 2003, but I didn’t start posting regularly until mid-Februrary, so that’s the day that counts. I decided to commemorate the event with some changes around here, but they, as is typical, will take several days to appear. In the meantime, I probably won’t be posting much, if at all, while I get everything done. Don’t worry, I’ll be back. I hope it’ll be worth it.
Earlier today I learned that two of my potential future career paths pretty much flew right out the window, never to return. Neither was directly TV-related, but both were media-related, and I’m pretty disappointed. I’d kind of been banking on one of the two to work out, and since both blew up on the same day, I’m back at square one. I’m slightly responsible for both not working out, but it was completely inadvertent.
Fortunately, being unemployed is not yet much of a financial problem; I’m still getting by just fine. Those two possibilities were much more about doing something I enjoyed and found fulfilling than they were about the money. I’ve always said if you do the job that makes you happy, the money will eventually follow. Note the emphasis on “eventually.”
Overall, it was a shitty day, I guess. Good thing my cute boyfriend cheered me up, though he doesn’t even know what happened yet. That’s the best part, really. He cheered me up without even trying.
The only other good thing about today is I discovered that Jeff is back! It’s been a month and I didn’t even know it. Now somebody just needs to convince Aaron to come back too and I’ll be a completely happy boy. I don’t think it’s gonna happen though. His domain even expired.
At least nobody else has stopped since I last whined about disappearing bloggers, and I’m hopeful about the relatively recent movement from Tim and over at Let Me Get This Straight.
Keep your fingers crossed…

Hey there, Nick
I was beginning to feel concerned that my mail wasn’t reaching you - I sent you letters dated 20th January and 10th February which you didn’t acknowledge. And then it hit me!
So I have to ask: are you beginning to feel concerned that I’m stalking you?

Hey, Nick
How’s this for speaking too fast: right after I complain about you not replying to mail, I actually decide to check my inbox.
And, yeah, I feel like a fool. I would have liked to ask you to anticipate some ‘words of wisdom’ in some of my forthcoming mail. But under the circumstances …
Anyway, foolish or not, I’ll continue writing you.

i’m still around. popping in every now and then for a little update. i should have told you earlier but Keith and I were on the cover of yesterday’s USA Today. we’re the poster children for what Bush hates. you can see us here:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040224/480/xfx10202241744
don’t we look like we’re tearing apart America’s moral fabric and sacred institutions? Guess that officially makes us one of Bush’s Evil Doers. Maybe we should get t-shirts?
amend this,
