What happened to Chris and Jake?
I remember when you guys lived together. Soon after seeing him last I was married and whisked away to Berlin for two years. Lost contact with everyone.
Anyways, nice to see a familiar face around here(I normally stay over at inthewire.com).

Sorry to leave a comment lacking any substance, but I just wanted to drop a quick line that [1] I found and added your journal and [2] Sorry I didn't call! I accidentally must have left your number behind and alas, did not know what number to call. HOWEVER! Now we have other means of contact, tra la la. My aim name is 'electrohotnoise' in case you forgot. Take care, you!
