i love N. dearly, but i can't help but wonder what he did the whole time i was gone. i think everyone at the video store must know him by first name, heck, probably by nickname now. he was living in some sort of bachelor world time warp that included doing none of the things that i asked him to do while i was gone. maybe he should leave for a month so i could get them done myself. (i can't imagine why he was so anxious for me to come home)

duty calls, i soo hate duty.
