yay! go jake.

how are you going about this? are you using any prescribed method, like trade-offs or self-rewards?

[zenravn]

zyban, extra money, massive guilt, chewing gum, heavy drinking. pretty much it. no time for rewards this semester.

here's some of bryan's famous unsolicited advice: as a reward you could calculate the amount that you would ordinarily spend on cigarettes and then go blow it at the end of the month on something that is purely pleasurable: massage, loose women, comic books, heroin... a road trip.

yeah, i kind of am i guess. at least i notice there's more money floating around, i buy groceries instead of smokes....and instead of 40%, 40%, 20% smokes, booze and food, i'm now up to 60% booze, 40% food (by cost, not volume) getting there. i like your unsolicited advice. hey did you know that there are all these beautiful women in bellingham? who'da guessed. a roadtrip sounds fabulous but hopefully by the summer i'll have gotten my recent drinking antics down to a repectable level so you can introduce me to all of them.

get your ass up here! i'll widen the streets and roll out the red carpet. the ladies will flock.

..there are a lot of beautiful women here; credited almost entirely to the university, with a fresh batch rolling in every year.

..the land of milk and honey my friend!

well chico has some of that too, also thanks to the university. sadly so many of them seem to take their cues from paris hilton and pop culture. but they're still perty. the ladies don't exactly flock to ol' jake, though sometimes my sheep's clothing seems to work.
