I bought myself a Sega Genesis last week.  I also bought 
Sonic 2 to go with it.  I think I like Sonic 1 better, but 
the fox is really cute.  I now play the Sonics obsessively,
instead of playing Macintosh games obsessively.   I'm looking
for Marble Madness, so I can play *that* obsessively.

All this is just fine.  The problem is that I keep singing the 
"Labyrinth" level song at work, complete with breathing sound 
effects.  Woop-weep!

  "I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing, I can't, I can't, I can't
  stand losing, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you"

have been proposed, but currently I think that the prize goes to the

     Some people have their entire family on the net.
     But not me.  My mother, father, and brother all have
their own accounts.  The only person in my family without
an account is me.  Since graduation, I have been forced 
to freeload.  Until tonight, I had to freeload exclusively
from my mother, from whose account I could read news and
send mail, but not post, followup, or even reply.  But no
more.  Now I have my father's account as well, from which
I can post.  Unfortunately, my father also uses his account,
unlike my mother, who has for all intents and purposes given
me her account.  So, I cannot use it for e-mail.
     So, for those people who have an urge to send anything
to me, send it to the old "lvacca@saintmarys.edu" address.
I'd set it in the "reply-to" line, except this machine does
not let you set that.  It also seems to not permit "world"
distribution posts, but I think I've gotten around that. 
Hey, it's access.
     This means that, in 1992, I've had a total of no less
than FIVE addresses- davidv@yang.earlham.edu, davidv@math.
earlham.edu (those sites are NOT aliased together), dvacca@
nyx.cs.du.edu, lvacca@jade.saintmarys.edu, and now this one.
Carasso should be so mobile.
     We now return you to your regularly-scheduled bizarre
programming...
