a true story. read it and weep.

friend via IM: jennifer and i did another 1.5 hour walk on the beach today. hooray!
me via IM: boy that sounds like fun. i had two martinis and a bowl full of pretzels while making fun of english stewardesses. for 1.5 hours.

q1

i've been poring over my q1 performance--a mixed bag of results. revenues, while up 7% from the same quarter last year, are still well below expectations, close to 20% down from 2000. the getting-some-action index is also way down from this same time last year. overall satisfaction and morale are taking a beating, no doubt due to the two aforementioned factors. in the positive side, we saw the year anniversary of the move to the the new space in venice, which cut monthly expenses by about half--we're seeing the results of that as credit ratings climb and debt tumbles, unfortunate effects of the dot-com crash.

next steps:
make more money and get more action.

the plan.

hey. hi. yeah. i know, it's been a while. sorry. it's been weird lately--busy, you know. i know that even while i've been here, i've been distracted. i mean, i can't get into specifics, but you know, it's been good. it's been good. you've gotta trust me on this.

in any case, allow me to break out of character here by saying yes, things have been good lately, and yes i will be writing more here lately. i have, however been photoblogging a lot, and i'm probably going to be writing about the pictures that end up on the blog and taking pictures about stuff i write about now, so... yeah. that's the plan.
