It's been nearly a month since my last entry. Here's the lowdown:

- got a promotion at work.
- rejoined my drinking crew for our weekly midweek gathering.
- developed a crush on our bartender.
- found out that the aforementioned crew will be reduced to nearly nothing by Christmas.
- realised that I suck at Russian and that finding a private tutor for conversational...

The work week is finally over! Soooo many things I should be doing right now instead of putzing about on the interweb. Such as;

- cleaning up this apartment
- paying more bills
- studying russian (I am getting MY ASS KICKED in that course)
- taking a nap

Thanks! I actually don't have a lot of free time because I have a lot of homework and housework to do, plus I am not a big fan of exercising, so we'll see how it goes whatever

Met up with an old college buddy last night. He's *this* close to getting his PhD in some kind of science. It was genuinely good to see that cat again.

We met at a place in the district that was a bit outside my comfort zone, but I held up well and managed to avoid drinking yet again. My willpower is on point, but I...

Got back from th' Jerz around noon today. The wedding went off without a hitch and I managed to stick to my guns and avoid drinking alcohol. God knows I could have used some, though. Social anxiety like whoah.

Swung by the Koreans' place for a haircut. I'm looking sharp and my receding hairline is a lot less obvious. I think that after next...

One should not try to type journal entries whilst intoxicated. This is my third attempt at doing so, and it's not going so well. In any case, I cannot wait for SGB to come through Baltimore (at least 90 minutes away from my stomping grounds) in October. I'm a bit intoxicated right now, so I must apologise for the lack of coherence. I had a...

So I've got laryngitis or something and I'm stuck not speaking for god-knows-how long. Now I've been reduced to writing notes in an effort to communicate with people. Sure, it exposes just how terrible my penmanship is but it's not all bad. I find that since I have to think before I put words on paper I'm less likely to waste my words on nonsense...
