Awesome! Haunted Mansion!

Yeah, that's all I got.

...guys, my entire mind has been sucked up by this show. Seriously. I've seen it 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and I'm going again on Friday. Never have I loved something this much.

I know none of you have seen it or are fans (yet), but I'd love some intelligent input. I'm trying to start a message board / community for the show that isn't on MySpace or the Facebook (because... shudder). I would love if some of you people who have been involved in hundreds or dozens of boards would visit [link] and look for the implementation mistakes that I'm sure are everywhere.

If I can get it working well enough, I may be able to swing Official Board status, as I'm on speaking terms with at least 3 of the producers at this point.

Yes she can get email. Send the address to me and to her. I'm not sure what her plan is.

ND - sent to your wasted monkey account and K's mac account.

Excellent. Thank you and backflung.

I lost a little weight! It's a Christmas Miracle!

....well less of a miracle and maybe thanks to the medicine. But Dad just sprung on us that he has a dance thing tomorrow and it's kinda a semi fancy dress. There will be a sit down dinner and dancing and an exhibition. I tried on a skirt I wore to a wedding a few months ago, a skirt that I only wore thanks to control top underwear AND control top pantyhose (and I still tore one seam...luckily it's a guazy two layer thing so you can't tell).

It fits! Not perfectly, it's a little snug around my thighs when I sit down, but I don't have to mash myself into this thing.

askye, that's really good news. I hope you have a good time at the dance.

brenda, congratulations on the new job! I just got caught up in Natter and saw the nifty climbing pictures. Wow! That looks like a fun vacation.

Yay askye!!

Whoo. Little tipsy - just had dinner with Suzi & K-Bug at my friend's wine bar. Another friend sat with us the entire time & monopolized the conversation - at least he's hilarious.

Woot! Just realized I can get a free 2-month Trial of XBox Live, so I don't need to pay to join the Halo 2 Frag-Fest next week...

(I'm begrudgingly trying to save money for my upcoming move, thanks to my landlord's asshat of a son!)

Hopefully I'll get the XBox comm headset I requested for Christmas. Then I can listen to Pete singing "Killing, Killing, Killing..." And respond with cries of despair and anguish.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Hey juliana. The bug and I are home. I made her drive from BART. I figured she was more sober than me. Had fun, even with entertaining friend...we will have to find alternate talky time.

eta - there was an earthquake in Berkeley while we were in the bar. I thought I felt something, but neither you or K-Bug commented when it felt like someone stumbled into the back of our booth, so I figured I'd had enough wine. Nope. Earthquake.
