Crikeys, where do I begin? I had been sick for several days and yesterday I finally started to feel healthy. I went for a run after work and afterward I felt like a guitar string. I glided on home and took a quick shower. While I was only half dressed there was a knock at the door and I opened it to find a strange African man and his daughter. They asked me for my electric bill. Normally, I would politely slam the door in a solicitor’s face, but I was in a rare mood so I let them in. After a a canned sales pitch he convinced me to switch energy providers. Either that or he began a long scheme of identity fraud and my accounts are being drained as I type this. Once I was able to shoo them away I headed over to One and One to meet Erik and Alex. I have a strong addiction to One and One’s chicken fingers, beer. I got smart this time and split an order with Erik so I didn’t make myself sick. The three of us snuck in a game of Grand Theft Auto III and then went to the Edge to meet some folks. After a few more adventures, some of them very good, we ended up playing darts with the guy in the picture. He’s the dancing guy<\/a> who was moderately Internet famous for a week or so. It’s a strange world, but I really like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
