Well, I'm baaack! At least for one more year.

Gonna see City Lits adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyles A Scandal in Bohemia and The Final Problem. Those arent necessarily the 2 Holmes stories Id adapt but Im just going to see the play. A Scandal in Bohemia is the first Sherlock Holmes story and my favorite. It was brilliantly changed into the film Zero...

The trouble with buying Japanese CDs is that they're hella expensive. I know enough nihongo to have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting but until you actually listen to what you get you never know. I tried to buy a japanese christmas cd which had japanese artists singing traditional english language songs. The kitch factor on stuff like this is incredibly high. my...

So I buy a buncha stuff from amazon.com including the West Wing season 2 and Ironbound Vampire for Al. (I tried to buy her underwear, I figure this may go over a bit better.) Now she's already received her presents while the rest of my order is still awaiting shipment. What's up with that?

Edit: No sooner do I complain about it here and...

shovelling 9" of snow sucks. my left arm hurts. I'm gonna go see narnia.

you can drink a smirnoff twisted at any time that you'd drink soda and not even realize you're drinking alchohol. evil.

Edit: Narnia was fun.

Wow, I haven't posted here in a while. Things have been redesigned slightly so I don't have favorite SG's anymore.

It's snowing lots.

I'm pretty bored but that is tempered by my discovery of the Smirnoff Twisted drinks. They're like drinking soda. Even moreso than Smirnoff Ice. Raspberry is easily the best and the new Wild Grape is no where near as good as I'd...

Went to see Serenity again last week and got to see a seek preview of Domino last night. It was good, not great. After the showing, outside the theater, there was this group of pre-teen girls (pride? flock? murder?) who may or may not have been trying to come on to us. I really am in my mid-30s as are my friends. Very surreal. Paris...

I hate computers! I just updated firefox and then Norton Internet Security prevented it from working for the past 3 and an half hours! Yes, the reason I logged off for the previous entry was to update stuff. I think it's OK now though I'm strongly considering getting rid of NIS, it's such a resource hog and almost not worth it.

ugh.

At least Cat...

Al just wrote about people being zotted. What the hell does zotted mean? A quick google search lists lots of instanced of being zotted but no definitions (a search on "zotted definition" has lots of HDTV listings for some reason.)

This is what urban dictionary says
zotted
Something that is zotted is broken, dead or screwed over. This term is usually applied to computer parts....

Went to the bears game yesterday. They got slaughtered! We had front row North endzone seats where you could see us on tv a few times even.

Anyone think Shakira has a spinal brain (like dinosaurs were believed to possess) that helps her move her hips like that?

Just got back from seeing Gaiman. Read a bit from Ch2 of Anansi Boys, a very short Q & A, and then a signing. I did a drawing of Neil but didn't show it. I'll see how it scans and maybe put it up here.

Apparently going to see the Bengals at the Bears this Sunday.

Hmmm. Not very whimsical when I'm not sick.
