I'm a bored/boring slugabed, biding my time on the east coast (Boston), until the end of March, when it's back to Michigan with me. In the interim, with no job and nothing much to do, I imagine I'll post 'round here pretty often. To answer some of the questions floating around on this thread, I just read Balzac's Lost Illusions, and that's got me amped to read more of La Comédie Humaine (any recommendations?). When I had money I bought lots of music. I'm excited about the prospect of once again having money and being near Record Time and Stormy Records. I also look forward to listening to Gary Chandler on 'JLB. My favorite food is bok choy, which I like to fix up with tofu and garlic and rice. I can't recommend my looks or my personality. My fondest wish at the moment is that I could stop squandering my abundant free time--and I don't mean reading ILX, which is a much more constructive use of my time than, say, staring out the window for hours on end, then nervously pacing for a while, then contemplating starting smoking again, etc.
