I will endeavor to explain (but never excuse) my absence yesterday by saying mean things about Earthlink, and also with the following, excerpted from my msg log: [joel(joel@cloaked.nyc.kbcfp.com)] IF YOU ARE COMING HOME DRUNK AND READING THIS THEN THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON

What I really ought to do today includes action items as appealing as Cleaning Out My Fridge and perhaps Doing Some Vacuuming Already For Crying Out Loud, but I think it’s safe to say neither of these will get done before the end of this particular gem of a Friday. Once I stagger my way through a faintly hungover morning I think I’ll end up repeating yesterday, with regard to soaking up what little air conditioning I have and working until oh hey it’s two am again.

Maybe not, though. There’s been talk of a movie (oh yes) and very possibly Mexican food. Seriously, I cannot overemphasize my fondness for Mexican food. While the weather remains vile and inexcusably moist, spicy food and air conditioned movies might just be enough to lure me out. Today’s supposed to be not quite as bad as yesterday, which is sort of like saying “Oh don’t worry, the rack won’t be quite as bad as that unfortunate disembowelment incident earlier, you’ll be fine.”

Oh yeah, and there’s a new design. Et cetera. Let me know if anything seems broken, with one exception: Netscape 4.x users are cordially invited to upgrade to something that wasn’t written in 1996.
