Since I am such a giving soul, I hereby bestow upon the uncaring masses the gift of song. A song sung by that champion Jewish jester, Allan Sherman. 
The Twelve Gifts of Christmas

No, I did not make it to the airport on time. I blame the idiot drivers on 275. Just because the road looks wet & it's a mite chilly (15) does not mean the highway is icy. That little wiggle your car does during braking? THAT'S how you know it's icy.

For nine hours last night/this morning, I was Mayor/Dictator-for-Life of my SimRegion. 5PM to 2AM.
My alarm sounded its grating beep at the appointed time of 6:30AM. Being the man that I am, I hit the snooze button, rolled over, and instantly entered a dream in which I was running a machine whose alarm went off every nine minutes. No matter which button, lever, or...

Hmm... that came out kind of bitchy. Take it in a slightly mocking tone.
oninotaki:
I cant stop playing Civ4 lol must rule the world over and over and over again
Last night--and a healthy portion of this morning--I played Civ 4. Wow. Even with all the crashing it did on Oninotaki's computer, wow. 
Now the wait begins for it to be ported to Mac...
While I wait, I'll have to console myself with being Mayor/Dictator-for-Life of my SimRegion.

It's 15F right now. Cold, yes, but not Really Cold.
My lone experience with Really Cold came during mid-February 2001 at 1:40 AM in Laramie, WY. It was -38F, -50F with the wind chill, that arctic day. School had just let out and my warm dorm room (actually a room at Motel 8) with BEER beckoned from the opposite end of town.

You are, I think, one of the most positive people I have ever encountered. That's why I like you.

To cleanse myself of this week's inanity, tonight I watched that 1932 classic, Horse Feathers. "...whatever it is, I'm against it!"
To prepare me for tomorrow's insanity, I'm watching another classic, this one a bit more recent. 1990's Juicy Lucy.
While my cinematic choices may not be as artistic or thought-provoking as NoPantsDave's, I revel in my eclecticism.

Two things I have learned today:
Apocalypse Now is based (loosely at times, plagiarized at others) on Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness".
Instant iced tea kept in the fridge for a few months grows some wicked mold. (henceforth referred to as Fuzzy Tea)

It's not plagiarizing.....it's called "an homage"

You JUST learned about Apoc Now?
God, you're just WAY behind, aren't you?
damn, she beat me too it!

I am back from the jewel of Monroe County. Once again, this favorite grandson made his grandmother ecstatic.
It was a nice, quiet holiday, just myself, my grandmother, and her new stove. It's a nice stove but it's electronic. I hate electronic stoves. It's just plain un-American to push buttons when twisting a knob worked just fine before.
Wait, what am I talking about. Pushing...

You know, I was just about to tell you that.
Heart of Darkness is on my "to read" list for the month between semesters.
The used DVD store in town had a couple copies of the '32 version for sale, I bought one of those. I've owned the DePalma version for awhile now.
The museum is doing Apocalypse Now next weekend, I think I am skipping it. I can appreciate that it is a good movie, but I just don't think of it as an entertaining movie.
Speaking of the museum....Duck Soup is this weekend.

Shh...secret pr0n site update on my not-as-devout-as-she-used-to-be-Catholic grandmother's phone line.
The biggest topic of discussion this Thanksgiving trip? "Will you still have a job?" (referring to the respective quagmires that are FoMoCo, GM, and Delphi)
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Yes, but I'm curious how those may affect my benefits and/or wages.
Okay, that's enough of a secret pr0n site update. The time has come...

I dunno about "cooler", but "uniquer", for sure!

what do you want? i work there
In a bit more than nine hours, I will be ensconced in an aluminum tube winging my way to the Crown Jewel of Monroe County, Rochester, New York, to spend Thanksgiving with my grandmother.
I'm flying Mesaba Airlines--the bankrupt puddle-jumper air service whose parent is bankrupt Northwest.
Tempting Fate, that's me.
