factoids: a sort of list
like all the cool kids, i'm listening to weezer right now. but not their new album. their first album - the blue one. it wasn't until all the new interviews with rivers came out that i learned this album is called the blue album. can you believe i purchased the first issue of blender? i'm a big fan of inside.com and simon dumenco - he writes a great weekly column about magazines. a great weekly column. it's fast become one of my favorite reads on the net (i sound so 1995). during college i used to spend hours using the mosaic web browser and searching for web pages about "my so-called life."
factoids.
i've been drinking again. i went out after work to celebrate the going away of a co-worker. he's moving back to oregon. another night spent at the bar drinking pint after pint - not smoking. i don't know how i'm surving without smoking.
there are moments when you feel so weak - when you're about to give in and just bum a cigarette from someone. but i didn't. i am strong. at least, that's what i keep telling myself. i plan to go out tomorrow and saturday night so i'll continue to test that theory.
saturday night will be spent watching a friend's band, "tweezer." they're a weezer cover band and i hear they're amazing. in town from dc and playing a show in the big apple - how could it not be fun? and that's why i'm listening to weezer right now - to get ready for the show.
i just watered my peace lily - those things go through water so quickly! i need to call a friend in boston - i haven't talked to her in over a month. lots of big news to share. why am i so hesitant to share some of that news?
one of the key activities for this weekend needs to be a trip to the library. i have books that are two or three weeks overdue. i've also got to update my real website. and i should open the window in here. it's getting too hot.

introduction
maybe i'll start by getting up from this desk and pulling a fla-vor-ice from the freezer. or maybe i'll settle for a large glass of cold water.
(i went with the water, but i checked the spelling of the name brand for those freezer pops)
i feel like i'm moments away from starting some 8th grade science project-
NAME: marc
PURPOSE: to experiment with journal writing (and other things, now dealt with and deleted)
so that describes part of the impetus for why i'm here and why i'm writing. i've got no real expectations, but i'm looking forward to getting away from my regular website (which is all about the snapshot photos) and concentrating on my written voice. looking inward is something i've done for years and years and i think it'll be fun to put those thoughts into typed form.
more to come...
