I also hate the term “journalist” in the sense of “one who keeps a journal.” It’s perhaps slightly less fey than “diarist,” but at least as lame.

I was almost positive that I met you at Slavdom, but now I remember that the conversation I had with some Chinese guy at Slavdom was with some Chinese guy from St. Louis. But my friend Adam definitely met you at Slavdom and you definitely knew Steph, so I have decided that I know you as a friend of friends.

With the high likelihood that an overheating hard drive burned away the vast bulk of my digital photo archives, it’s very difficult to refrain from dropping the f-bomb as every other word I utter…indeed, as a long, vehement string of meaningless profanity. I’m off to find the CEOs of Macally and Western Digital to find out which is responsible for my tragedy, and even if only one is responsible, I’m still going to make them fight to the death, gladiator-style.
