I know, I know, I haven't written much here lately.  Have been keeping daily log on programming studies and writing lots of emails.  Mostly to -----.  Some to women I am trying to meet (wasn't my sex drive practically nonexistent a week ago?  and wasn't I happy about it?).  Got one juicy bite from a personal ad left in netscape netcenter / digital city NY.  Gymnast/psychopharmacologist/cook/camper.  Very friendly and bubbly like.  Hope to hear form her soon.

----- finally replied in kind to my long series of rantings, most of which were just bouncing back things I read in his online journal.  I really don't like the idea of publishing my journal online.  Not like the one I'm writing now.  A lot of things are too personal, expressed in Chasterus's Secret Code to Himself only.  And should remain that way.  I do sort of like the idea of not doing things in private that i wouldn't do in public, but, yes, i masturbate a lot and i'm not ready to do it out on the street.

I'm really feeling a bit trapped at work.  Like I don't belong.  Time to move on.  ----- of course invites me to come live with him on his couch, free to "live on rice and beans and study compsci 10 hrs a day."  This is really tempting.  Maybe when I've erased the debt monster, I'll consider something Bohemian like that.

As an experiment (whose results I already have decided to expect) I am refraining from drinking alcoholic beverages for a longish period of time.  Like a few months at least.  I expect to improve my learning curve and memory, which are now worth a great deal to me.  I hope to find improvement in my sleep patterns (less sleep time, better rest, no more insomnia).  And in general I hope to enjoy an overall improvement in physical and mental health.   I did the binge-before-quitting ritual Friday and Saturday, actually needing those two days/nights to kill of the second bottle of Ricard I schlepped back w/me from Paris on my way back from Stuttgart.  I really want to see if i can get to the point where I can understand Knuth.
