Reflections in the Dragon's Eye: A Journal

January 2000

1	We watched the ball drop at midnight, drank our champagne (or sparkling grape juice), kissed our loved ones, hooted on our noisemakers, and ran out into the street to watch the world end.
3	"Well, if you start squealing in binary, I'll know to request that you be transferred to another team!"
4	I think the word we're looking for is draconian.
5	He's trying to talk me into playing some EverQuest, and I gave him the URL for the Meade Hall.
6	I've got this very strong feeling against letting myself become addicted to things.
7	Many an awful piece of lingerie has been displayed as a belt or hat.
10	Not bad for a Monday. Especially a Monday that, at the beginning, promised to be awfully long, subjectively.
11	I think I'm just looking for an excuse to make meringue kisses again.
13	So now there are little pockets of friends all over, purposely "offending" and "sexually harrassing" each other, as a sort of reaction against overreaction, I think.
14	For no reason in particular that I can think of, I woke up this morning thinking about the milkman.
17	It was scary, and we fled.
18	One dream involved a snake. At least, I think it was a snake.
19	...I hope you'll bear with me if I venture into fiction. I've got what might be a story rattling around in my head.
20	That's when I discovered the snow was still falling; the flash didn't make it to the house for catching on the snowflakes in the air.
21	Fuck you. Chíngate. (pause) Shit. Mierda.
24	There were a couple of good scenes, a few amusing lines, but at the end of the movie, I could only be glad that it was over.
25	"Be careful," I told him, and went back to scraping snow.
26	Ah, well, the best laid plans...
27	Okay, that's enough exclamation marks for now.
28	"Diet tequila! Right!"
1	As I pointed out, "Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."
