So I'm a crappy boyfriend and a crappy watcher, but apparently there is something I'm good at. I can cleave things in half with a katana. I hit with all the precision of a surgeon.

I took a good philosophy course at Cal. Might've majored in it if I wasn't so big on being useful and giving back to the world. Nice to think that if I had, there'd be more people alive today.

Anyway, something I remember from that class is "The thought of suicide is a powerful solace: by means of it one gets through many a bad night." Nietzsche quote. Thing about the .. it that's particularly bad is that it takes that away from you. In so far as you care about the people you know.

I care about you guys. You're doing fine. You're good people.

"The true measure of a man is what he would do if he knew he would never be caught." (Lord Kelvin)

I wonder how Monique measures up. I imagine, in her mind, she thinks that thanks to Discreet she'll never be caught.

Hey, Max, I found a shirt on the internet that you oughtta see. I don't know if you'll like it or not... It's definitely silly.

Also, I saw somewhere a site that makes haikus from your LJ posts. Kinda neat. I have no idea where it's getting these, though.

Do you ever feel like you just want to skip ahead to the time when you're in your late 40s and wear tweed jackets with patches on the elbows and have already made all the really major mistakes you're going to?

Well, that really sucked. On Friday we went out drinking in SF, and that helped a lot, but I think the stress in general maybe exacerbated some stuff. Anyway, sad worried times.

Maybe I should take up Kendo or something. It'd be cool if I could do it with someone, but I don't know if asking Chip would be good right now. Maybe Max. Maybe once I've moved.

I went to a MSF benefit sort of dinner party last night, sort of so my boss would have someone to go with... So it ended up that me and this girl were the only people under 40 there. Fortunately, she was pretty. Unfortunately, I really suck at talking to women.

The evening ended in a huge mess. A mess of biblical porportions. I mean, it didn't have anything to do with me or her, really... I mean, kinda, but not really. Anyway. I don't know. It was kinda scary. I think maybe I'll just give up on the whole "dating" thing for a bit.

Another reason to hold off moving: Vampster is moving to new offices. I think they've settled on a place, but it was kinda strange.

Now that I've been working with them for a bit, I think I might fit in with these guys pretty well, though. So that's really cool.

I got a job! The people at Vampster.net hired me! No more ramen!

Maybe they just felt bad for me because the Beast broke down in the parking lot. They did an interview with everyone, and then I left, and the damn thing wouldn't start... Just turn the key and nothing, but it wasn't the battery. So I was hoping they weren't watching, but maybe they were because about 5 minutes later my phone rings and they invite me back in, and then they offered me the job. Thank God...

Anyway, so I'll probably be moving down to the South Bay if it pans out and they let me keep working there (it seems like a really cool company) but it won't be for awhile, since I have to give 30 days notice, so for now: hour-long commute. Whee!

Totally worth it, though. I was beginning to get really worried.
