Sometimes I feel like I neglect my friends. I thought for a while that I was becoming antisocial, but I realized that this is not the case, and that really I am just lazy. Keeping in touch with so many people can be stressful, and I don’t “do stress”… so I tend to just shutdown. However, I do Google-stalk my friends as a way to keep up with what they are up to and try to feel like I know what is going on in their lives — Facebook has made some of this easier. Today, I Googled my old friend Kal and saw he has revived the wonderful Kal’s Gift Shop. I used to host the archives of KGS on my website, but now Kal has chosen Big Brother to host it for him. I can’t complain though, they have more reliable hosting than I do.

Anyway, this one goes out to all those people I’ve neglected to call recently — especially you Kal!

PS - no birthday party this year, just drinks next Friday somewhere in Champaign if you’re around.

–update!–
It looks like Kal has left the Gift Shop to stagnate for about a year — almost to the day. Which had me confused, because I thought that posting was from today (no year in the date). So, maybe this will motivate Kal to start posting again (again).
