Back

I'm back safe in Chicagoland. Had a blast times 1000 in NYC, but while there my laptop got stolen. So I'm without a PC for a few days, and without a PC during nighttime hours for a couple of weeks. I haven't read my friends list at all since July 2nd, so I'm sorry if I haven't replied to things I am supposed to. I will try to get time later today or tomorrow to sit down and read through. In the meantime, leave a message if you have something I should be caught up on, because clearly your posts from the last seven days have swarmed right by me and will probably not be read.

And books.

Oh, read CivilWarLand in Bad Decline and Slaughterhouse Five over the weeekend. Started Portnoy's Complaint last night.

Smoking

I smoked two cigarettes on Thursday night, and I LOVED THEM. Smoked another on Sunday night which I also loved. Blame is not to be spread. I practically BEGGED for the second one on Thusday (smoked approximately 5 seconds after the first one ended).
