I'm just in a curmudgeonly mood when it comes to christmas. I think brought on partly by knowing it is going to be a stuff heavy one courtesy of the in laws. It makes it feel perfunctory, not fun. I need to get over it. And get some ideas.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Best Thai food I've had is Amarind, in Chicago (across the street from Oak Park)--the chef there had trained at Arun's downtown (highest rated Thai restaurant in the country) for nine years, and now cooks meals that cost under $10 per plate, instead of $80. Best mung bean custard I've ever had!

Me too, sarameg, except for the stuff heavy part. That's why I spent today buying things for people I wanted to give presents, rather than people I have to exchange gifts with. It made me feel much better.

I think I may have to do that. I just wish I was crafty, but sadly, I'm not. I just have to come up with a good concept. One year, I just got everyone unique kaleidescopes, and enclosed a letter with each. That was fun.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I have lately been working with graphic artists. There is something about this experience that has made me doubt my sanity, or the sanity of graphic artists, or the existence of sanity altogether.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
