	Oh, I have been laaazzeeee in my writing lately.  I have been.  Not just to the robot - but in my continuing efforts to be like sunshine jen and john ball and others of you - and have at least a tiny stack of frequently copied short stories and screenplays sitting off to the side awaiting approval from various publishers.  But I don't.  I don't have a single complete thing.   Hopefully this - and my "itsa holiday!  eat drink and be merry" will change soon.  I have done a bit of handwritten stuff - titles for my future columns like "But I am Sweeping You Off Your Feet" and "My Life as an Ipod Wearer"  and "Jenkins Did It" and "Fuckit, Myspace Changed My Life and I Haven't Been on it in a Month" and "Let Me Tell You About My Job"...  It was interesting I suppose.
  I am wearing sweatpants today.  I need to do laundry, and I've eaten like a mad cow lately.  Dan was in town.  Guests are always a cause for going out to eat, and I'm hardly a "I'll have a salad with dressing on the side"  person.
  People from "home" are always so very nice to see.  Mark and I talked last night on the emptiness that ensues when they leave, so I'm not alone in that feeling.  (hooray!  misery loveth company.)  He asked me if I felt lonely, and I replied that it's not that I don't have people around me and nice lovely acquaintances and a fascinating thing... but that there's not that familial blanket of familiarity.  We both feel homeless but must try this route eh?  I told him that the Big D (of which we've screwed the papers up again!) was something that I thought of in fear and fright, but that it felt very fervently like the proverbial "right thing to do".
  However, it's what it is.  I merely can recognize that I'm nascent.  What's to come? Have I said things like this before?  smile smile smile smile wink wink.
  I'm living a week as if it's summer vacation.  Remember Summer Vacation?  Oh so sweet.
