Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So, um, does anyone have any ballpark estimations of how much lobbyists cost? Or graphic designers? No reason.

Jesse, check this page (scroll down) for a chart with data from September 2005 on fees for graphic designers: [link]

You know what's helping today? Listening to my punk rock playlist on my iPod.

Even if I barely had time to throw any tracks on it this morning before I left, and by barely, I mean I only have 200. Woe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Steph!

Christmas shopping, huh? Fuck. I forgot about that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I need to pull all the stuff out of my gift closet and figure out who I have bought for and who I still need. I should be able to finish all gift getting this weekend.

I'd really like to spend tomorrow in front of the tv catching up on shows and maybe watchinf a netflix movie for the first time in about a month.

I'm tossing the idea around of making a Christmas mix CD for a family present, so now I'm listening to what I have, to see if it's interesting enough to do. Eh.

Any minute now, I'm going to start writing the paper that's due on Tuesday.
