Bachelor party for Dave this weekend. I'm psyched for him, what with his impending marriage and all. Should be fun seeing everyone too. Ah, Atlantic City.

Well! It's been a while here, hasn't it. Time to self-consciously give the life update.

I got promoted at my job. I'm now Web Design Manager (or, officially, "Manager of Web Design and Development." Quite a mouthful). I'm supervising two designers and a production assistant. Finally got the career in gear the way I wanted to, and our team is kicking ass.

Went to the Pacific Northwest for a vacation and a lovely wedding. I want to move to Vancouver. What a gorgeous city. Bellingham, Washington, is kind of a bore, but the whole trip was a blast.

My apartment is a mess, I'm no good at the harmonica yet, and I'm single again. But life has been good lately.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean my living room.

For my money, the Broadway play "Closer," which I saw today, is much more compelling -- and racy -- than the similarly sexy "The Blue Room."

Mind you, I certainly enjoyed seeing Nicole Kidman naked, and I liked the latter play. But "Closer" digs deeper, and deals with a much messier situation. And succeeds.

Theater patrons "of a certain age" were shaking their heads at intermission, surprised at the general filthiness of it all. But hey, the cybersex scene was tremendous. Welcome to the end of the century.
