Computer for one?

Oh, hello there. I'm Adam. I have a computer. And a job. With health insurance. I find things I like, I press a button, and hopefully this blunts my habit of starting up disturbingly strange conversations with people I meet in bars. You're welcome!!
PS I should point out I live in Greenpoint and try to follow my neighbors. And: hello neighbor.

More terrifying to me than actually being eaten by a bear is: A wizard gets angry at me, said wizard turns me into a bear, and then, to top it all off, he makes my fur fall out.  I am trying to not anger any wizards.

While the prevalence of online social networking sites have made mailed party invitations all but obsolete, they can add a personal and purposeful touch to your soirees. Also, they provide you with the opportunity to give each attendee a map detailing the best directions from their place to yours, notifications about any road closures or public transportation service advisories, a map of all the sidewalk cracks to be avoided on the way to your front door, and a list of required immunizations. It’s best to prepare food before guests arrive, since hosting duties will require most of your attention once they do. Keep asthma inhalers stashed at various locations throughout the house in case of hyperventilation when people touch your belongings. Quick tip: Never actually allow other people inside your home. - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: The Modern Obesessive-Compulsive Hypochondrical Gentleman’s Guide to Style.
