I share my office with my team leader, an empty desk... and a cricket. I've taken him outside twice now, but he always returns. I like to think it's the same cricket, but it's probably not.

Why wasn't "Facinating" on R.E.M.'s "Reveal"? Or at least a b-side. C'mon!

At times I feel I'm the happiest man on earth. Now is one of those moments. Maybe it's the photo of my girlfriend in front of me. Maybe it's R.E.M.'s "I've Been High" blasting the hearing from my head, or maybe it's the fact I've figured out how to solve a problem that has had me stumped for the past two hours (the Walken website is back up and running).

Damn it, I'm happy.

I read somewhere that a feeling of euphoria usually comes before getting sick.

Oh shut up.
