It's supposed to snow tonight. Can't seem to manage anything better than a light drizzle, though. I don't want to say I'm envious of those people in upstate New York with 4m of snow piled up (that's a classic "careful what you with for" scenario, eh?) but maybe if they could spare just a little instead of hogging it all? Jerks.

Oh well. Nothing much going on lately. As always, "the vicissitudes of life." January's busy, February's dull. It's the one time of year I'm glad I don't have a girlfriend, though. Valentine's Day, while nice in theory, is pretty horrible in practice, just like anything that everyone in the country does at once. All the restaurants and florists count on the girls to get men to buy expensive stuff regardless of silly things like "available funds" or "income" and jack up all their prices. So for at least a day a year, I'll revel in my freedom. (Then back to looking for a girl I like that isn't married or a thousand miles away or a determined celibate or any of the other fatal flaws the best girls I know always seem to have.)

Also, I think some clumsy fat people moved in upstairs. There's been an awful lot of banging around up there. I want to go say something, but "hey, stop being so heavy" wouldn't go over too well even if it were something they could just do at my request.



PS: My friend introduced me to a Japanese band called "Boris." The Japanese culture has many flaws, as do virtually all cultures, but never let anyone tell you that they cannot be totally fucking metal!!!
