My expensive habit

I think I've crossed the line into the world of official blogger -- that is, I have no other life -- since I'm paying 30 cents a minute to type this at a Kinko's. But since there is no Internet access where I'm staying (but no, I am not without running water, electricity or even cable), I am doing it this way.

I gather that I'm missing the Northeast's transformation into a blast furnace, and I'm glad for that. For those of you sweating away, I'll report that it's sunny and a pleasant 80 degrees in Portland. Now, I moved away from here because ... ?

Because my former employer here in Portland hasn't bothered to turn off my e-mail access -- and for some reason, I feel compelled to check every few weeks and see if I can still get in -- I know that there's a department party Saturday. So, I'm debating whether I should crash. I don't know if this will be too awkward, and I'm already seeing most of the people I care to see in other settings.

So, what should I do?

There's no better material for blogging (and storytelling in general) than extremely awkward situations. By all means go... and bring some strippers.

think of it as another class reunion. show up, drink, and start swapping your name tag with everyone else.

on the other hand, if you show up it will probably give away the fact that your account is still active.
