Heh, heh, heh. No, that's alright, thanks.
Are you sure? We could start with "...shiny nickle" and end up anywhere you want.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Our wings are not tired
The first three carloads of stuff have been moved to my new place. It's going to be a really great little apartment. Now I've just got to get all of this other crap packed and moved.
Okay, really, back to packing and cleaning and hauling stuff to the dumpster.

The presumption of Christianity is a stifling one.
I dunno. Is "Merry Christmas" automatically presuming Christianity? Christmas seems the big nationwide party in the U.S. I take "Merry Christmas" as "enjoy the party!" not "Hola fellow Christian!".
I will point out that there is some rational basis for taking it this way. After all Yule is a much older festival than Christmas; adapted by the Christian churches when they gave up trying to stop the old pagan celebration, and slapped a Christian label on it instead. In point of fact the Puritans, at least some of whom where the ideological ancestors of the Christian right, came to this country in part to escape the British practice of Christmas. Up till the early eighteen century, Christmas was outlawed in large parts of New England; people observing it were fined. So Christmas in a way represents a victory of people who like to have fun over po-faced fundamentalists.

In other news, it took me almost six hours to drive home from NJ. It was snowing like a thing that snows for the last four hours of that, but I think my key mistake was deciding to take the Jersey Turnpike, instead of the G.S. Parkway, not realizing that the Jets-Patriots game at the Meadowlands would let out just as I reached that exit. Feh.
