I am my own pet. 
 
Anyway, did the soup kitchen thing again this morning and now I smell like  
cheap beef (how many people can say =that=? that that that...)  No need  
for the rowing machine today, I worked out the old fashioned way --  
stirring 30 lbs of ground beef with a big wooden panel.  You should've  
seen the bucket we filled with the grease. 
 
Last week's tone was a little bitchy, I think.  Sorry about that.  I  
realize I had some chemicals missing in my life and I went back to the  
store for a refill.  Ah.  I have some happier thoughts now. 
 
For example, I realize that I have learned quite a bit already -- for  
example, I can now write a zeta like it's supposed to be drawn.  zeta,  
zeta, zeta.  I used to use the hiragana "ro" or some nondescript squiggle  
before I took Japanese.  Today's entry is brought to you by the letter  
zeta! 
 
Also, I learned that I should read my books.  They sometimes have the  
answers to homework and exam problems in them. 
 
I did a major chill-fest at Aunt Patti's this weekend, soaking up the 
tater chips, watching _Clueless_ twice (marvelous! fantastic!), and also 
got to see _Ed_Wood_.  I understand why Martin Landau got an Academy 
Award.  He was really good.  I was surprised to see Bill Murray so subdued 
as a queen.  Stuart was by video-watching, salty food-snarfing, and 
general all-around partner in the weekend's activities and here's a 
special "I miss you!" just to you.  And here's a big THANKS to Jason (and 
a chin scratch, considering you're a cool cat) for getting Stu to the 
airport, and to Fran for giving him the tickets.  
 
Brad the Mad(man) is moving to Reston, VA and so he'll only be an express  
train trip away.  Come back, Brad.  Let's rip up this town! 
 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -- may you all live very very interesting lives, so you  
can entertain me. 
 
MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA
