wow. how about that new design, huh? i've been itching to let the world see this one from the moment it hit our inbox. jessie really outdid herself. it's amazing that this entry came all the way out of hong kong, land of superior action cinema. and also land of very cute girls, if jessie is any indication. important fact: jessie's native language is cantonese. just thought i'd kick a little science.

i've been running about all day, taking care of some outstanding bills that have been laying around. i happened to get all of my taxes back, as well as a bonus from work, all in the past week. and i get paid on friday. needless to say, i've had a ridiculous amount of money to burn lately. ridiculous for me, anyway. while i was out, rolling around, i was thinking of how much my life has changed in the past year. i'm making way more money and, in turn, have finally gotten ahold of my finances. i used to go out and buy big ticket items when i didn't have near enough money to spare for them. now, i refuse to buy those items, even though i have the money. complete 180, i'd say. other "hmm" factor of the day: i've been living in this house (and sharing living quarters with matt) for almost a year now. bipolar itself has been around for just about as long. it really doesn't seem like that much time has passed, but you know what the say about the passage of time when you're chronically depressed and unhappy with your job…

another comparison between this time last year and now: this time a year ago, jess (another current roommate, not to be confused with jessie) and i were ending our short relationship. i say we were ending it, but to tell the truth, folks…she dumped me. i can see now, a year removed, that this was a good thing. we didn't get along in that capacity, and we were both as miserable as we were happy. we're now better friends than we've ever been, and we're going up to see weezer together this weekend. everything worked out in the end. now? i'm hopelessly in love. there are a million things i can say about this girl, about 999,999 of which i'm sure you don't want to hear. for the record, the feeling is amazingly mutual and we're both really happy. i won't bother you with it any more than necessary…

the sinus infection seems to be lingering around more than necessary. it's definitely on the downswing, but it's still a bitch to wake up every morning with about six pounds of shit in the back of your throat. not actual shit, mind you, but you get the picture…
