On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I have so much work! And I'm technically still on break for a week and a half! Can you guys come lick envelopes for me? It's like porn; it involves tongues.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sweet -- the person I'm supposed to be meeting with isn't here. I guess I'll go back to eating candy and avoiding editing.

Oh, I have a question: You know that thing about celebrity deaths coming in threes? Do James Brown and Gerald Ford make two? They really don't seem to go together.

Well, Dennis Lynde and Dutch Mason recently died. Dennis Lynde wrote an Elvis song and Dutch Mason was a blues musician. Maybe with James Brown, that's the musical trifecta?

And Saddam is supposed to die within the month, so that could be another polictical death. (though a planned execution seems like it should hardly count.)

Liese, I'll come lick envelopes for you... but it'll have to wait until I can schedule some time off and make a plane reservation.

I sent two e-mails, and then looked at cat macros.

Yeah, in a couple of hours, I probably will break out the porn.

Art Crawl!!!

So, we can expect two more politicians to die? or two more presidents?

Happy Birthday to people whose birthdays I've missed.

And I still don't have heat. So, I came home to an apartment with temps in the 50s. (Low 50s in the bedroom) But I was awoken this morning to pounding on my door and they are getting ready to install the new heaters. I tried to warm up the apartment with the two space heaters and by turning on the oven (I know - not recommended) and it helped a little. But you can understand why, once I was snuggly in my bed, I did not want to get out again.

Aside from all that: Christmas was fun! My niece not only remembered me she wanted to sleep downstairs on the aero-bed both nights I was at my brother's house. So cute!

Our wings are not tired.

Ford, Pinochet, and the Turkmenistan dude would be a political threesome.

I really do have to get to work, and yet not quite productive yet. And there is just not enough activity here to keep me from getting started.
