I watched the History Channel's Vietnam Day in its entirety yesterday, and I must say, I feel like a vet. It was draining.
Also, I may take advantage of this rebate on Amazon and finally buy my new computer tomorrow, before the deal is up. I'm thinking the 15" G4. Between that and the drunken tour of Europe that's in the works, my life seems...

I figure if I watch the History Channel all day and work from my computer...the bills will be paid and I will be educated.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and survived the storm. I was dreading it, but to tell you the truth, I really enjoyed it. New York was gorgeous, all white and lit up and I got to sit with some red...

My computer's kinda sorta working now, so I'm back for the time being.
Anyway, not too much to report here. I'm cold, tired and bruised (my girl likes to bite when she's angry...And these are no little love-bites). I saw In Good Company this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it...Probably because of my affection for dads. It's a great dad movie. And it was just cute...

My computer is broken. Done. Gone. At least until I am able to revive it once again. Anyway, until then I'll check in when I can, but it probably won't be too often. Hope everyone's well here!

There's just something wrong with my body...if my knees bend, my...

I watched Barfly last night. That is one helluva movie. It's sort of hard not to feel attached to Mickey Rourke. I also could have sworn last night that my place was haunted. I kept hearing creepy shit everywhere I went. But I made it through the night, so I won't let the accusations fly just yet. And if I had a friendly ghost, well...

Hey all - Hope you had a great holiday. Sorry, not much to say, but I did get all kinds of cool kids spy gear (ages 8-12) and the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology. Good Christmas. I hope everyone's doing well.
