I wonder how much of a kick back The Council is getting from Comcast.... Probably Free Cable.

good to see they're paying attention to the big little stuff.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

I have a new favorite frankenfood: Crasins. Basically, dried cranberries. What's so special about dried cranberries you ask?

They're strawberry flavored. Impost-A-Licious!

PS: Next year's holiday craze is going to be stealing your friend's stuff, wrapping it and giving it back to them. You heard it here first.

i'm sort of reeling from cranberries that are flavored to taste like other fruit.

why not just make dried strawberries and cut out the middle fruit? wink
unravled:
I love craisins.

Also, thank you for your support in the Gazongas group and sorry I had to delete your comment. It got a little out of hand.

This year I resolve not to get hit by any goddamn hurricanes.

Its funny, there's an awful lot of "This year really sucked..." running around. I really don't feel that way, this year was just very, very hard.

I should be entitled to sleep in each and every fucking day of 2006.

I said that exact comment to someone earlier today, er yesterday now.

2005 didn't suck, it was just really really hard.

If its tourist season, what's the bag limit? A terrible joke, I know, but I was in the belly of the beast today. Fortunately, Big Nick is still my friend.

On an unrelated note, Santa brought me:
A New Orleans weight overcoat
A scarf with pockets
A lifetime supply of chamapgne coupes
The Muppet Show: Season One
A doormat shaped like an NYC manhole cover....

I have discovered the last hipster free place in the first world: The Staten Island Mall.

Overheard in the parking lot:

Her: Do you even care?
Him: Wha?
Her: Do you even care? Do you even have a heart?
[Pause]
Him: You look like a bag lady. You look like a freakin' bag lady right now.
[Pause]
Where'd I park the goddamn car?

If there are no hipsters, it's got about 250% more going for it than the rest of the major metropolitan areas in the U.S.
obd:
so where was the car parked?

So, for the record, unless youre lookign for some prime, forboding real estate for your evil supervillian's lair, you should probably stay the fuck away from places called Skull Island.

Perhaps a genuine update, in (hopefully) significant contrast to the maudlin, pithy and self indulgent trend my journal has taken on as of late.

Things here are proceeding apace. Slowly slogging though the insurance company's calculated ineptitude, (again, hopefully) solved the dog sitter woes, done most of the Christmas shopping, decorated the house for a holiday we won't actually be present for. The usual post...

The week or so before, there was definitely a slow down, but I imagine it'll be much more severe over next week.

Personally, I wish the union could have found a better way, or a better time to take this action because I really think it's killing them with the public. They have a serious, very legitimate complaint, but people aren't listening because it's cold and Christmas. The MTA has somehow found a way to fuck commuters, its employees, and working people and come out looking better that the union (to many). If they could only be this good at doing their real jobs, you know?

If you think you're a good judge of character, I will tell you this: sometimes he finest people you meet turn out to be scumbags.

Just because they're good to you doesn't mean they're worthy of sucking air.

Quite true...and quite the personal quandary at times.
