howdy

Oh my god - can it really be over two weeks since I updated! Oh, wicked, bad, naughty evil Howdy.
Top 10 Excuses for not updating more often
10. I'm a lazy good-for-nothing without any sense of duty or honor
9. Hibernating for the winter
8. Stunned and despondent that Pan's Labyrinth wasn't best foreign film at the Academy Awards
7. Too busy with all the new sets here (including one from my good friend Salome)
6. In training to set a new world record for pizza and beer consumption in a non-leap-year February
5. Wasting way too much time on YouTube
4. Trying to convince myself that the sniffling, cough and irritated throat isn't a sign that I'm about to die from bird flu
3. Noticing that at the moment I have 69 people in my friends list, and daydreaming about the cosmic significance (or lack thereof) of this milestone
2. Still in mourning about the Bears...
1. Busy planning trip to Chicago with my little brother and his friends to watch college basketball - March Madness, Baby!

I'll leave you with this video in appreciation of meat.
