This is my new journal entry.
I'm feeling remarkably uncreative at the moment, so I'll just list things that have happened recently.
1. I moved. Or rather, my parents moved, and I followed
. Suburban hell is actually kind of nice. It's very quiet. And I have broadband now, and it's free, so I can't really argue with that.
What's better than porn? Really fast porn. Ah yeah.
2. There's a remarkable number of bugs out here. I've already killed three spiders in the house in just a week, which I think were brown recluses, but could be wolf spiders (they look pretty similar, and I wasn't about to get close enough to get a positive ID). When I go out on the back porch at night to smoke, I see a new insect I've never seen before every time. Last night was this thing that was carrot-orange and sort of a cross between a fly and a wasp (except it didn't really look mean like a wasp). Never seen anything like it before, and I've lived in this area for twenty years. So I spent all last night here, reading about bugs: http://www.entomology.ucr.edu/ebeling/
Yes, I'm weird. I had the heebie-jeebies for about four straight hours last night.

Haven't read Darwin's Dangerous Idea (by Daniel Dennett!) yet, though it remains on my list of books to read. I think I'm in line for it at the library.
It's great to discover a bug you've never seen before. It makes me fill so wonderfully ignorant.
