And also beware of toxic amounts of self-pity. 1. I will not consume another goddamn drop of alcohol in the month ...

I stayed in to do work tonight, so of course, no work actually got done. I did finally watch Y Tu Mamá También, which is an excellent film, though I’m even more disturbed that Alfonso Cuarón is going to be directing the third Harry Potter movie now that I’ve actually seen the movie than when ...

I seem to have come down with inner peace. A friend of mine told Megan (Rugby Girl) some things at the Co-op party tonight (which I had skipped the beginning of to go downtown with other friends) that, well, I would have preferred she not tell her. I won’t go into it here, but suffice ...
