- Last week.
- The reports are true, Lunacy (Crobar Wednesdays) is getting good again,
and so is Phantom 45. American Science and Surplus is still my
favorite store in the world (Hi Feather!). Spent another Saturday at
Screenz playing Counter Strike. The new web phone access (http://bedno.com/site/mobile) is SO COOL!!! Plan
ahead for my birthday party at the BrockOut (Liar's Club) on November
16th.
- The Code.
- I regularly make reference to an unspoken code between men that
includes such things as DON'T pursue attached women (lest it happen to
you), and I keep getting told (by both sexes) that there is no such.
