I find that I have yet again blown off my New Year's resolution to write more. It's quite vexing!! I honestly do have alot of talent in that area, not that most of you will ever get a chance to witness it.

Wahooo!!! I survived being social!!! [shudder] Sorry, had a quick flashback there. Did my first ever SG Event. Met some people almost as insane as I am, which is always fun. Had a blast actually. I may have to be social again someday...

Argh!!! My friends are forcing me to be....social... I hope I survive the experience. I've gone to alot of work to fashion a safe, sterile and dreary buffer zone between me and the rest of the world.

I started watching the extended version of Lord of the Rings at 8pm. At 12:30am we were done. The extra 50 minutes of footage was so very worth it...wow!!!

Nyquil is the nectar of the gods....

Just got back from a six hour drive from Vegas--it's 4am Sunday morning. Couldn't leave till I got to see Penn and Teller shoot each other in the head, and catch the bullets with their teeth. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Large sums of money were spent on booze, gambling, shows and lap dances. The gambling was a complete waste, but the lap dances...

Wedensday morning I embark on my Vegas vacation. I intend to do all the things I have been warned not to do, and more. Care to add any other suggestions?

Work is shut down between Christmas and New Years. Starting today, let the free paid vacation begin!!!

I just received the following in an email, author unknown:

"A Viking Christmas Carol"

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my greaves and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze...
