Last Jan Sat

Saturday, Jan. 31, 2004 - 5:45 a.m.

I don't know what to write about today.

Let's see. What does my horoscope say today?...

ARIES:
Things are off to a good start, but it feels a little slow for you. Don't jump the gun. Keep your eye on the ball instead. What you see at the beginning is only part of the curve. Your investments still have a lot of mileage, and you might be witnessing just a fraction of their earning power. Although your adventurous nature recoils at the thought, the old and enduring is a safer bet than the new and untried. Work your way up to something instead of getting all worked up over it. Learn about patience from the earth signs around you.

Well, that could be anything at this point.

Maybe it's referring to the screen picture I took of my French friend when he flashed me today.

I'll wait until he becomes famous and see if Le Monde wants what I've got. :)

or not. :)

And -- Of COURSE it's slow for me. It's a Saturday.

---

Mary-Ellis Bunim, the co-creator of Real World, and a pioneer of reality television, has died.

You watch. The funeral will be private with no cameras.

Okay. Here's the deal about That Guy Who Reappeared. Yes I know what he's like. Yes I know to keep my guard up. The thing is -- I want to get to a place in myself where I don't have an emotional reaction either way when I see him log on -- neither good nor bad. I want to neutralize him; white-noise him. We have mutual online friends, running into them or him is basically unavoidable.

Quit with a pack in my pocket.

And you know what?...

I'm almost there already.

---

Incidentally, for what it's worth, the last person I tried to 'white-noise' was Jamie Lord.

Then we fell in love. Or whatever it is that happens with a straight woman and a gay man.

But -that's- because Jamie turned out -not- to be an -asshole-.

I can't even remember what it was like to not love and adore the guy.

So as for the previously mentioned fellow? I'm okay with things as they stand.

Civility suits me just fine.

And finally, please send good vibes to Dave Marron's wife, who was home with the grot yesterday.

Dumb question: if the funeral is private with no cameras, how can we watch? And my wife is feeling much better, thank you - I appreciate all the good vibes sent. :)

OBD: Re-read the question, and replace "Just watch" with "You wait..." It'll make more sense then. :) Brin - I *have* been an asshole on occasion. How dare you suggest to people that I'm.... NICE!!! ;) ILY F&E... xoxox - Jamie
