slack slack slack (or, happy holidays, everybody!)

i'm not going to bother to make apologies for not updating more recently... i think that my posts are going to be of the decidedly short variety until the project i'm trying to kick out the door goes (dec 31). -i was in rhode island and m.a. this week... flew out late monday night, and flew back tuesday night. couple of quick notes from that trip: --people in r.i. and massive-two-shits can't drive. they sit in the left hand lane of the highway, doing only the speed limit, with two empty lanes to their right. (and they won't get over) --i had a cool car to cruise around in, tho. i had a nissan maxima from the rental company. fast, and with those fun hid-xenon headlights. --radio there is just as bad as it is here. their clearchannel owned "alterna-station" wfnx (like, as in, "wow, man! effin x rocks!") was just awful with their playlist. --the meeting i went to was in a very nice hotel... they kept stuffing you full of snacks on your breaks; breakfast junk, little candy bars, etc. it was nice.

-i'm completely unprepared for xmas this year. i think i only know what i'm getting for 1 1/2 people, and i haven't bought a thing yet. i'm going to have to either do all my shopping (around work) this weekend, or it's gonna be an xmas eve extravaganza at target.

-finally, this is too funny.

more later (maybe)... i need to fill in some more links on this post, anyway.
