merry merry. kiss kiss.

do you see what i see?

here's a cool game-guess the movie from stills in which the actor(s) faces are erased...

should i stay or should i go?

too little too late?

so what i wanna know is-is one week before christmas too late to start christmas shopping? we're giving everyone this cool little thing we made (i can't descibe it because some of the recipients might be reading), and not really anything else because we're pretty lean on $$ for christmas presents. but the we decided to get a little something for the folks who we will be with on christmas day. i got a couple of things today, but we are also trying to get the top secret project items out in the mail for (hopefully) delivery in time for christmas, so i had to buy delivery packaging and other stuff as well. i'm burnt. even in a sparsley populated place like the upper valley, you run into traffic, and stupid drivers when out shopping. i'm already ready to give up!

bwa ha ha ha

you're on your own man...

just beat it

open mouth, insert foot

great op-ed piece in the NYTimes today about trent lott's bi-polar personality when it comes to his opinion/stance on segregation and civil rights.

holy cow

powerball jackpot is now up to $160 million which translates into about $40 million (net) if you take the lump sum option. can you even imagine going from a normal old joe or josephine to a multi-millionaire? it's a little mind boggling, to say the least.

jane austen's birthday

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

what will they think of next?

for cold weather strippers?

wake up call

nothing gets you going on your way to work on a 4 below morning like seat heaters set on broil and 'let's groove tonight' blasting on the car stereo with the bass turned WAY up.

my new obsession

the powerball lottery jackpot is over $100 million. if you win and take the grand prize as a lump sum, you get $54.5 mill. if you figure that you pay about 50% in taxes, that leaves you with about $27 million dollars.

that's $27,000,000,000.

i could live on that.

so i've been composing a rant about our president in my head the last few days. it all began with reading about more snowmobiling being allowed in yellowstone national park, and then talking with my sister, who is a federal employee, who will NOT getting a cost of living raise this year so the shrub can give bonuses to his cronies and pour lots of $$$ into the department of homeland security.

but every time i think about what i want to say i get too worked up and i can't really think straight enough to make sense of what i'm writing. i NEVER would have guessed that, as an adult, i would get so worked up about politics.

so anyway, you will just have to imagine my wrath because i don't think i will be able to coherently express it in writing anytime soon.

oh, and read this (from sadu), which is very interesting.

remember the movie weird science? remember wyatt? ever wonder what happened to him? i think i need to rent the chocolate war

so, what do you think of the new look? i wanted something a little brighter, a little less dark.

a quick note about winter colds:
if you are sick and tell me not to get near you i will tell you to just shut up because:
-after having strep throat for much of my adolescent life, i have developed a pretty bulletproof immune system. i figure when i get sick, it's a sign from god or the universe that i need to take it easy.
-puleez. i have a child in daycare. if i haven't already been exposed to your bug and 15 others, then those kids in daycare with rory are not real, they are robots.

what's will ferrell doing now that he's left snl? why he's playing santa of course!
