	This is much more fun than sitting around by the phone which is what
I suspect I'd be doing if I weren't here trying to waste time. I have sort of
spent the weekend shoring myself up for the realization that I suspect is 
coming....that is that Joe Melvin and you are right and that I lose...sigh.
He's really sweet anyway, and it is my sincere hope that we atleast can have a
decent friendship. So, I'm currently sort of working up a depression which I
will then spend some time burning through my system. I'll probably need to do
fun things like go to funny movies and such, so be prepared for a request for
fun-things companionship....maybe we can BOTH go see Tummy Trouble... :-) 

	Hmmmm, so the Bond flick was that bad? I had heard that it was more 
stripped down gadget wise than previous flicks, but the reviewers thought it
was okay. They thought the woman had been sort of lame.....oh well. I'll 
probably see it eventually.....but now maybe I'll wait until it comes to LSC.

	Moping sounds rather like what I'll be doing....sigh....

	All the good men are either straight, taken, or uninterested in me.
Sigh, someday I'll find someone and it'll work......glumph.

	Movies movies movies........I plan on talking to Rebecca and seeing 
about more frequent movies.......they've gone over really well.....

	I should think about going home and giving him a call. I've decided to
call him tonight if he doesn't call...to invite him out for dinner and a movie
on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll have the whole mess figured out soon.

	Joe Melvin is really cool, and I hope we get to be better friends in
the future. We've started to talk more often, and he seems really nice.


	Oh well, I'll talk to you again soon! By the way, I love your machine
name...... :-)
