On the day before Christmas Eve while having a playdate with Hz, I threw my back out ( Read more... )

It's been nearly a month since Douglas the Computer has been connected to the Internet. He'd refused to connect every time I tried, and then today all of a sudden, it clicked. Needless to say, the first thing I did was check my email.

Here's a quick update on the Life of Evan: ( Not too long, but still behind a Cut... )

To the Person Who Posted the Following Valentine's Classified in the Portland Mercury:

"♥ EVAN Happy Valentines day! I think you're Awesome! Will you be my Valentine?"First, let me say "Thanks!" Regardless of what happens, it was pretty cool to see my name in the Mercury ( Read more... )

First of all, I had the day off from BHFT. Yes, we get Good Friday as a holiday. I didn't ask why, I just accepted it.

I really can't complain; it was a very social weekend ( More about that behind the Cut... )
