I’m quite sick with a cold and it caused me to lose my appetite earlier in the week and sleep quite a lot. I dropped two pounds in a day. But I think I might gain some weight while I’m in the Netherlands this weekend. On the one hand, I should be getting a lot of exercise. On the other, the only meal that is described on our hash program is ( Read more... )

I lost two pounds this past week. I’m pleased, but I haven’t expended a lot of effort so far. It’s time for me to really start, and so I’m going to order one of the diet books that David recommended and also see a nutritionist and/or have my thyroid tested, which the last doctor I saw wanted to do but never did ( Read more... )

I had dinner last night with my friend John who wants wanted to date me, and it was terribly unpleasant.  Everything seemed normal until right after we ordered, when he asked me about upcoming plans and then used my answer to tear into me about how he doesn’t think I’m an honest person.  He wasn’t entirely rude about this judgment, saying that he ( Read more... )

Last night, I was reconsidering the two messages that David sent me on Monday and I realized that he’s still a douchebag who is using me. What he’s getting from me has changed, though, of course. Now he wants me to edit things he’s written in English (because he’s a native French speaker) and find a cable that would work with his movie projector ( Read more... )

In my last post, I wrote about how I made a new friend named Honza and he and I went to the cinema together. He’s new in Prague, so I decided to invite him to dinner with my friends on Saturday. I was sort of thinking that he might be interested in dating Leslie, because she’s fantastic and he's, presumably, single. I didn’t know because we didn ( Read more... )

Lenka, my former chum who unfriended and blocked me on Facebook, called me yesterday. She wanted to know if I had any new mail to deliver to her, i.e., she’s not even going to pretend to be my friend anymore but she still expects things from me. Beautiful ( Read more... )

A brief update on Dan. He emailed me, and I was right. His wife was unhappy about his female Facebook friends, and he is trying to make her happy. I hope that they can work it out, and I told him I understand and am here if he ever wants to talk again. This is a tough loss for me, but his marriage is more important than our friendship.

Dan unfriended me on Facebook. We argued a few weeks ago about a Guantanamo-related article that I posted on my profile, but I thought we resolved the matter. He did, however, say in the middle of the argument that he feels like I’m very nice to his face but mocking the things that are important to him behind his back-things like the Republican ( Read more... )

Lenka unfriended me on Facebook. Not only did she unfriend me, she blocked me. I was a little surprised that she has the computer knowledge to do this, but Caroline said that Lenka is still her friend on Facebook and when I search for Lenka, she doesn't show up, so there's really only one way that this could be accomplished, i.e., she blocked me.

Fouad called me at work yesterday to ask me for the password to one of his 853 (rough estimate) email accounts.  First of all, buddy, we broke up 10 months ago and, while I had several passwords to several of your email accounts, I don’t remember them.  Plus I’m pretty sure that the one you were requesting the password for is the one secretive ( Read more... )
