Losses

The laptop is working nicely, but I do have one slight problem...I lost some data that is valuable to me by having my computer die on me. It's not much, most important shit is on my external hard drive anyway, but it's little things like bookmarks and my address book. I was one of those folks that used their computer for everything and now that I had one die, I'm scared to do it again. I have not one single address. And he's something funny, I use IChat on Mac for instant messaging purposes and there is a feature that allows you to link people to your address book. Oh, and you can also view everyone by their real name instead of screen name if you take the time to type it in. Anyway, about 3 years ago I did this to my computer and now that I lost everything, I am struggling with communicating online with people. In simple terms, I don't know who people are. Everyone comes up by screen name and I don't have a clue who uses what name online.

The point is, if you can leave me a comment with your screen name and mailing address. Or email me with it. Or hit me up on Myspace with it. I need everything...as I can barely remember my own address these days.

I was at the gym today for the 4th day this week and I'm happy to report I have lost 10 lbs in a little over 3 weeks on my new approach to life. I'm certain this weekend will be another challenge with The Weasal coming to town, but I am certain I can push myself to behave. Maybe he will want to hit up the Y on Saturday with me? You never know...

I went apartment hunting today and it's not going to be as easy as I thought. Masters Week is coming up in early April and all vacant apartments get rented out for a week's stay to travelers hitting up the classic golf tourney. As such, places are not even worried about renting out mid-April to the likes of me based on the ridiculous profit they make for a one week rental. Homes here rent for 15K and up for one week during Masters Week. Yikes! Well, I do have time...but I got paid today and wrote out all my checks for bills and I have $200 until next check....and next check is rent time. Fuck.
