This guy I used to hang out with, Jake Dobkin, appears to be stalking me. I'm setting up this log so that the authorities will have something to refer to if something bad happens.

The occasion for setting it up is the latest and oddest 'contact' from him. He bought me two books from my Amazon wishlist. Odd enough, perhaps. He chose two that were already on the very long list: "Last Exit to Brooklyn" by Hubert Selby Jr. and "The Logic of Failure" by Dietrich Dorner. Clearly they're meant to be ominous and spooky gifts to receive. He sent them with fairly minimal enclosed messages. The first included "Indeed. -J." and the second a quote from Morrissey's "Now My Heart Is Full", to the effect of "...wind up nowhere. -J".

That's it for now. If he tries to add me to his buddy list or anything, I guess I'll post here again.
