Soon I'll be one of those folks who peers at the outside world through parted slats in the window blinds. Posted on 07/29/2002.

Didn't leave the house today. Not once. It's kind of creeping me out, in retrospect. Good night.

COMMENT #1
You're not about to go and put aluminum foil on your windows to block out the harsh sunlight, are you, Peter?

COMMENT #2
I would say that during any given week, there are about two days when I don't leave the apartment at all during any point in the day. Of course, I'm not what you would call a "people person" most of the time.

Hands off my aluminum foil, fucker!

COMMENT #3
There's nothing like hosting a party to do that for you. It's a necessary part of recovering, unless you wanna do like always-sociable Frank O'Hara and die early-middle-aged run over by a dune buggy. Seize the solitude!

COMMENT #4
start to worry when you realise you didn't even put pants on for the whole day.
