holing up for y2k

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1999.12.17

Counting down the days. I've secured the days off on the last week that I bargained for in coming to *data. Sarkuwacha and I are going to her parents' cottage for the week between Xmas and Y2K. At work, I'm the only one in the entire organization who doesn't have to be on hand for the latter.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.

—Lenny Bruce
