In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

The internets have come a long way, baby...

December 5, 2003 My San Francisco Milkshake
"My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're right "It's better than yours."
Damn right, It's better than yours.
I can teach you, but I have to charge."

-Kelis, "Milkshake" (You really should go and watch the video right now. Really. I mean it.)

I'm so busy with work and writing and drinking and kissing that sometimes I barely remember to eat or to breathe. There is so much going on that I'm not even sure how to document it all. My housemate Ric helped me paint my bedroom bright cartoony colors. Microsoft transferred Andrew to Seattle, and I threw him a going away party. Heather and Eugene got married. Allyson started working with me at Yahoo as my co-producer on the broadband portals' content. Selena and Carlos visited from LA for Thanksgiving. Jen had a birthday. Lana got a chihuahua puppy that she wanted to name "yogurt" but she ended up naming "Agent Dale Cooper" after the man we all love. And everyone around me has been so damn productive in their art. As a new friend of mine says, "It's hardly worth noting. That's just something San Franciscans do -- we make stuff."
