So as a college student, I use the Internet a lot. I mean, there is so much information out there… so many papers to write, so much injustice to blog about and post on Facebook.
Today, I was at Alex’s apartment and his Internet exploded. Wouldn’t work. Couldn’t work. It was sad. And after about 2 hours of trying to restart the router, cursing at the modem, pleading with our computers, writing a death letter to Comcast, and trying to guess the passwords of his neighbor’s wireless networks, we gave up and went to Taco Bell. After Taco Bell I went home, sat on my couch and booted up my computer, and my Internet was working.
So I went on Yahoo Games and played my Sudoku and all was right with the world.

Alex and I, the Jew and the Least Religious Person on The Face of the Planet, decided to each pick something to give up for Lent.
This decision came from a conversation that started as a discussion of Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday and Easter and resurrection and what we find most annoying about each other. Because that’s how in love we are.
I honestly don’t find very many things about Alex annoying. I think he orders a lethal amount of pizza and needs to eat more vegetables. So he said he would give up delivery for Lent. When I told him that Lent is 40 days, not a week, he almost backed out.
But he agreed to do it because of what I told him I would give up for Lent. I’m going to give up all negative body talk. No more “I’m fat” or “I’m disgusting” or anything similar. According to Alex, it’s the most annoying thing about me. So for 40 days I’m going to try to not saying anything bad about myself. I’m hoping it breaks this bad habit of self-loathing and self-pity.
Alex is hoping too. And anxiously awaiting the day he gets to order pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hey look, “booze cruise” rhymes.
Another shot from Mexico. Alex claims he took this picture, and he might have. I think I remember taking it off the side of our balcony thinking “I hope I’m sober enough not to drop this extremely nice camera into that extremely nice little dinghy.”
