Shout out to Amy, your Christmas card arrived today, thank you.
For some reason looking at the DP website in mobile Safari pauses music playback.
The DP requires your COMPLETE attention. Thank you.
Compleat complete. :)
Morning Pan,
My 1st gen Nano is already on the way back. Maybe I’ll get another 5 or more years out of it now.
Morning Pan!
Back to work for the bunny today. Hubby still has a couple of days off. Lucky him.
Inkling! inkling!
You already know where I stand on mmmmmmmeetups, Jack.
Hello everyone! I get to be eighth!
now, how did that happen?
You came after 7?
Cough
I thought I was just another Henry…
uuuuuhhhhh. I have this thing at work that has to be signed off on before the end of the month. All of my alternate signers are off until Tuesday. All of their superiors are also off. I finally reached someone, one of the VP’s of the company. You don’t know how polite my e-mail was requesting him to do this. It felt strange going so high up to get a such a low level thing done.
Ha! The VP just contacted me saying he won’t be able to get to it until Tuesday also. I’m starting to think I’m the only person working today.
One word: hooky
Unfortunately, month end doesn’t wait for anybody.
I forsee a compny wide memo in your future -
Attention:
Due to lack of participation, the month of December 2011 will NOT be ending until Tuesday, January 3rd 2012.
Thank you.
I hereby grant The Energizer Bunny temporary signing authority.
Fans of Lykke Li will like these stripped down versions of 3 of her songs.

Got em!
What about the rest of us?
snap!
New Sleigh Bells:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9aeGHsZCdo
Wow, it sure is. It wouldn’t be Sleigh Bells without your ears bleeding after listening.
Like it tho. Good to see they’re still them.
Me too.
I’m going to hurry to this place and claim it in the name of Deadpan! Quick, someone sew a flag.

Hubby made lunch today. Now must go back to my spreadsheets. ugh.
Lunch today is looking to be Beefaroni.
Maybe I should resolve to eat better foods in 2012.
Hamburger Helper?
Heh. More spam.
Spam, spam, eggs and spam?
Bloody Vikings
If you are wondering where Beefaroni appears on the food pyramid, it has actually been sealed inside it in an attempt to try and protect us.
Why Metroid kicks so much ass:
http://i.imgur.com/vNyDm.jpg
Ugh, I just did the math to figure out how many years it’s been since I last played Metroid. . .
Simple in its brilliance, really
I have a very strange hubby. He decided to get a Facebook account the other day. He has no friends on it and will refuse any friend requests, even from people he knows. He doesn’t want to be bugged, he just wants to access some things that seem to be on facebook only. (like the behind the scenes stuff for the Hobbit, some stuff from one of the Warhammer podcast he listens to, etc.). I know of at least two of our friends who asked to be his FB friend and he said no. When we saw them in person recently he explained, more or less, what I did. They think he’s funny too.
I “get” him.
I had (I guess I still do) an account because it seemed the best way to keep up with a race car driver I like.
I didn’t do the “friending” thing because I didn’t have time for all the social.
In the end, apparently my driver didn’t either as there were seldom ever any updates.
So I haven’t been to facebook in a loooong time. I’m not sure I can even remember my password to sign on anymore.
BTW – for those who didn’t see my last post on the previous show …

It is the update on the PR guy who thought the World Wide Interwebs should just automatically respect and fear him.

What an steller douche bag!
This is the guy from the yesterday’s email tirade link.
Key quotes from his “I’m sorry” interview -
“I didn’t know who that guy at Penny Arcade was,” he admitted. “If I had known, I would have treated the situation a little better.”
– So … unless you can do something for him, expect to be treated like crap.
“At the end of the day, I’m a human being, and it feels like the entire world was bullying me,”
– Bullying him? Has he gone back and read what he wrote? This is a case of reaping what he hath sown.
“They’ve pretty much ruined me in the past 24 hours,” Christoforo said.
- At the end of it all, it’s still the rest of the world’s fault. “They’ve ruined him”. The only thing he’s sorry for is that it came back to bite him. He takes no real responsibility for creating this mess … and he claims to be a PR guy.
BTW, some enterprising web denizen has already found (and posted a link to) the police record of the domestic violence charge against him. Not that hard to believe if you read his e-mail responses.”
Well, I’ve caught up to December 22nd. I think the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.
Van, re: Christmas card shoutout above: You’re welcome!
Cj, re: Secret Santa present: You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it! It didn’t leak in the shipping box, did it?
Bunny: Thank you for my Secret Santa present! I’m planning on enjoying my hot cocoa tonight. :)
Amy,
Next year, I swear, I’ll make it to Santahood, come tropical climates or bong water.
Yeah… that… is… actually… what… I… Meant… to… say…
I can’t handle the higher order math required to determine how long it’s been since I played Metroid…
http://youtu.be/aSq1cez_flQ
Hope nobody already shared this – most specifically for
this one.

Ever want to play a game because of the music?
I used to play Tony Hawk’s skating games just for the music.
Firefly.
Oh wait, that wasn’t a video game.
I think I owe Jack a hundred dollars. Jack will you take my money?
Jack, we just looked at the awkward family photos – LOL!
“I can see your pad.”"
LOLLOL
CE: Spam, egg, sausage and Spam, without the Spam in it.
Sausage omelettes are yummy. 
Avs vs. Yotes. Excellent game.
Pretty sure I;m a closet Jets fan. (Winnipeg, Jack)
The epic battle for 11th place in the West.
And how!!!
TO be fair tho theyre only 1 and 2 points out of a playoff spot respectively
The interesting thing about being right all the time: Nothing. Not one thing. Being right all the time is boring. Fortunately for me, I am not afflicted with that malady.
You’re wrong.
Thats right
CD: Hot cocoa, made from the cocoa mix and using the mug that were part of my Deadpan Secret Santa present this year. Thanks again, Bunny!
Evander Kane is the greatest player in hockey at the moment. That is all.
Gabriel Landeskog is the hardest working man in hockey at the moment. That is all.
I heard the Colorado announcers soiling themselves over that guy too. . .
Lest I come across as too grumpy… I actually kinda liked the Avs’ TV announcers. Their enthusiasm was infectious without being grating.
Yeah theyre quite the homers. But to (kinda) be fair, theyve been announcing Avs games on TV/Radio in one form or another since 1995.
Nice find, Lejon.
Skyrim is certainly bringing out the inspiration on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAnQQcIncq0&feature=related
Of course, it is also inspiring some other diversions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrhDamN82k
The name of our album?
Well, if “99 Luftballoons” could catch on, then why not.

GTFOOH!
TEB, your Xmas card arrived today, thank you.
You only got it now? I sent it in the first week of December. Stupid post.
Wow! I sent all my cards somewhere between the 12th and the 22nd. How did my card from California get there faster than Bunny’s card from Alberta, which was sent earlier? Weird.
Wow, Cointreau is expensive for 500ml
Good morning,
I’m 45 minutes away from finishing BSG during my morning workouts. I guess it was a 2011 thing! I really do not remember these last several episodes at all, and I’m really enjoying them.
For 2012: LOST. At least for the first several months. 42 minutes a day x 5 days a week, carry the # of episodes = I dunno how long it’ll take.
CW: The Thing before going to Evil, which has been especially evil of late.
Kissies, all y’all.
back to spreadsheets. *sigh*
Any chance of a new round of Earbuds occurring? I’d be up for it…
And we’re heading out for a quick overnight trip to San Antonio. My son hasn’t seen the lights on the river before and it seems we’re never able to make it. They keeps the lights up until New Year’s, so we’re taking advantage.
Be Deadpan to each other.
1) today’s Groupon is for singing Justin Bieber toothbrushes (53% off).
2) don’t mess with Firefly: http://youtu.be/4iAOtkpFGhc
What do you think youre getting for your B-Day!?!?!?!?!
If only!
JB, I’d love to rally another Earbuds session for 2012.
I’m in on Earbuds again!
Certainly preferable to nostrilbuds.
Make sure you get rid of those hairs.
Ignoring the peanut gallery, I too am up for a new earbuds.
That goes without saying. :)
Say it.
Personal stats for the year:
Books read: 40
Graphic novels read: 28
Movies watched: 45
TV series watched: 49 (mostly anime)
Games played: 7
Songs listened to: 13871
Wow. Even I don’t keep track of all that stuff for me. I’m impressed
It started due to a bad fit of depression a long time ago. I felt like I wasn’t accomplishing anything, so I decided to track some of this stuff. In a way, it makes it fun to look back on the year.
BTW, the number of songs is easy to track. iTunes gives that to you for free.
So your songs value is really 13871 + n, where n = every song heard in public restaurants, stores, elevators, friends’ cars and homes, etc., plus anything heard on commercial radio, television, internet, passing cars *thud*
Yeah, I don’t count those. I’m anal, but I’m not Raymond. ;)
But everybody loves…wait
Finally got work caught up to today. Now I can start on month end. And I have to work on Sunday. ugh.
Impressive list, ditto! I’d have to go through my blog to count up books read, and I think I have you beat on TV series, or at least tied.
Anyone have any BEST OF 2011 picks for music/movies/TV/books?
I keep meaning to do those, but I always seem to run out of time. Maybe I’ll force myself to get it done this year.
I was curious about that myself.
I’d love to here what the “best new to you” thing was that all of you found this year. In any and all categories. Maybe it was a best new beer or best new band or song, maybe the best new to you book.
The book count covers all genres, since I read tech books, non-fiction, as well as novels. The only reason I split out graphic novels–this is the first year for that–is that it I felt it threw the number out of whack.
Here’s mine:
Books: (most of the books I read in 2011 weren’t published in 2011, but this is my favorites among 2011 books) Area 51 – Ann ____ LA Times writer, Malcolm X bio – Manning Marable, The Sacred Band – David Anthony Durham, Dance with Dragons – GRRM
Albums: Wild Flag
TV Series: Homeland, Treme, Nurse Jackie, The Killing (U.S. and Danish!), The Good Wife
I’m sure I’m forgetting lots . . .
2011 is a blur.
The best album of the year was Devin Townsend Project’s “Deconstruction”. Brilliant, although heavier than most would find tolerable.
I did a few TV series this year, but The Wire was my favorite.
Best movie… The Killing Fields.
Oh yeah!
Best book I read in 2011: The Grapes of Wrath. Steinbeck.
I only read one book this year, “Crescent” by Phil Rossi, so I guess it has to be my favorite.
I’ll have to think about the others.
I always have a hard time ranking music: it depends a great deal on how I feel at the moment. Books are much easier to rank.
Nuclear weapons are NOT New Years fireworks!
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/12/30/russia-submarine-fire.html?cmp=rss
I have to admit that I’m desperately going to enjoy the next four days of nobody calling me a douchebag.
Seriously… those are small bags filled with warm water.
I’m a large bag filled with love.
how do they not see the difference?
Is this due to the Go Daddy/SOPA mess?
What assholes!
People are calling you, personally, that? That sucks.
Do you work in customer service?
And yes, we should do another round of Earbuds! I’m in!
Carrie Brownstein starter kit:

THHHHIIIISSSSS!!!!!
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/physicist-builds-lego-large-hadron-collider-033000100.html
Well back from seeing the US version of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’, much better than I was expecting, and the ending explained Lisbeth’s relationship with the Journalist better than the swedish film.
Haven’t read many book this years, so would have to say ‘Infidel’ by Kameron Hurley, even if it was rather flawed.
Music, nothing new all old.
Much better than we expected too!
We had to laugh that Daniel Craig said he really let himself go (eating what he liked and not working out) for the film.
I do wish Hollywood would move on from fat people being sexual deviants though.
I’d say my 3 favorite albums from this year, in no particular order, are:
Wild Flag’s debut album
The Joy Formidable’s “The Big Roar”
Florence + The Machine’s “Ceremonials”
Special mention has to go to Bio-Digital Jazz’s Tron Legacy remixes, in particular the Bio-Digital Jazz Edition released in March. I haven’t listened to the new one released earlier this month.
Special mention also has to go to Valve and their Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory for releasing 3 volumes! of the Portal 2 soundtrack for free.
And my favorite older album added this year is Lykke Li’s “Wounded Rhymes” released last year.
Finally kudos to Lo Pan for properly introducing me to Tegan & Sara. I still have to properly explore their collection.
Biggest musical disappointment: Death Cab for Cutie’s “Codes And Keys”. I was seriously underwhelmed.
Well, supper has been eaten and the dishes have been washed.
Now going to crack open a Tempt 12 cider and then fight some elder god minon in the “Savage Worlds”
I think my favourite book I read this year was Hellhole by Kevin J Anderson and Brien Herbert. Although Reamde by Neal Stephenson came a close second
Music..hmmm. I don’t think I have a favourite song. Same with movies. I have trouble remembering what I saw earlier in the year and am too lazy to go back, either in my mind or physically, to figure it out
Today’s news has a story about some lady who makes sweaters for chickens. I might put this near the top on strange stories I’ve heard this year
Here’s the link. http://swo.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20111230/chicken-winter-sweaters-guelph-111230/20111230/?hub=SWOHome
I’m waiting for a story about a woman who makes sweaters OUT of chickens. LIVE ones.
My Favorite book this year was a tie between Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games” trilogy, and Mira Grant’s “Deadline”, the sequel to “Feed”.
Probably my least favorite book was “How To Live Safely In A Science Fictional Universe” by Charles Yu.
As for Anime, it was a great year. The best were “Gosick”, “Ano Hana”, “Steins; Gate”, “Usagi Drop”, “Madoka Magica”, “Working!!”, and “Chihayafuru”.
Avoid “Dragon Crisis” and “Level E”.
Fuck I miss Gosick
I do too. I’ll probably buy it when it becomes available.
Happy New Year Deadpan!!
Hope 2012 is good to everyone :)
ooo, favorite books and music of the last year? I’ll play. I need to think about it..
Favorite books from the past year
I also loved Hunger games
I read Conn Iggulden’s Genghis Khan series which was excellent
Justin Cronin The Passage
The latest Harry Dresden – Ghost Story was really good
I discovered Ken Follett as an author, really loved Jackdaws, Pillars of the Earth
There was a good historical fiction series about Rome by Steven Saylor i really enjoyed too
Just finished reading Steve Jobs biography and loved it
Favorite Albums from the past year:
Project Pitchfork – Quantum Mechanics
Ohgr – Undeveloped
Massive Attack – Heliogoland
The Kills – Bloodpressure
PJ Harvey – Let England Shake
Twilight Singers – Dynamite Steps
So, playing a Cthulhu RPGs with hubby and a spider comes down from the ceiling and lands on my face. For real! Put a damper on the game
Go Calgary Puck Bunnies!!!! You can doooo eeeeett!!!
I’m happy wit second or third from the bottom. Better than dead last anyway *shrug*
Yeah but fifth place gets a trophy too :)
More on that later…..
Think I’m just a little too far back to think fifth at the moment
My dice case is cracked. I think it happened when it was used to squish a spider
TV for the year –
I think “American Horror Story” became my favorite “new” show.
“30 Rock” continued to make me laugh out loud at least once every episode so maybe it should be my favorite.
Reaper: Thanks for posting the link to the “Do you own too many guitars?” flowchart on the last show. I sent the link to my dad, who is also a guitar enthusiast, and he laughed out loud. :-)
I guess, of the “new” shows that started this year Grimm is one of my favourites
I hope the “Deadpan Secretary” is collecting all these favorites in a chart.
What?
No Deadpan Secretary!?!
We need to bring this up with the Board immediately.
What!?!
No Deadpan Board!!!!
Hey, I keep track of monthly comment stats. That’s as far as I go
I think I’m too scared to argue.
http://x.co/cC2J
Ziggy Stardust has sparkled for many years.
Oh, he’s just imitating Lady Gaga.
You’re face to face with the man who sold the world.
Goodnight :mess:
Booze acquired to see in the new year (Bailey’s).
A very picky friend has bought a single malt to see in the new year.
..and and old crate of Stella Artois for a less discerning friend.
Crap joke alert (spotted by NS on twitter):
Why did Bilbo resist the power of the one ring for so long?
Because old hobbits are hard to break.
I’d go with the picky friend’s pick if given the choice . . .
Weird friend requests are weird.
So let’s see,
been thinking about new music and the only new ones I can recall are Nikki Yanofsky’s self tittled CD (young Canadian, jazz singer phenom), Jamie Cullum’s “Pointless Nastalgic” (jazz/coffee house singer)and The Vocal Majority’s “12 Days of Christmas” (Barbershop Chorus).
The two singers were “okay”.
The Barbershop group is amazing! The tightness of their singing is remarkable.
In the “not new to me” department,
I got the new TMBG Album “Join Us”. I was underwhelmed.
I also picked up The Bare Naked Ladies “Snack Time” which is silly, fun and frequently makes me laugh.
SNAP!
http://onefte.com/2011/12/30/2012/
Let’s hope it is not not instead of just not.
Hey, gang!
The Hunger Games shoulda been on my list too – loved it.
Just for Lo. She doesn’t have green eyes, but… ;)
http://fashionablygeek.com/costumes/lovely-ahri-cosplay/
I looked, even though it wasn’t for me. How old is that girl!?
Don’t answer that.
http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/1254843_460s.jpg
Geek readings have just gone off the scale, Captain.
Yeah, I think Abbott and Costello are going to come back from the grave and shove those guys into their lockers.
Ha!
What are you all doing for New Years’ Eve? I know Van’s drinking Bailey’s, but what else?
We’re watching the UK Prime Suspect – we started Series 1 last night and are enjoying it so far! We love the US version lots.
Just hanging around.
Maybe work a jigsaw puzzle. Probably drink something.
Make some noise at midnight.
I’m working on this jigsaw right now:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000T7ADMY/ref=asc_df_B000T7ADMY1842707?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B000T7ADMY
Packing!
We’re going to watch Tucker and Dave vs. Evil tonight. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/
Order in something for dinner. I’ll probably be in bed by ten. I’m not much of a late night gal.
However, as the day job runs in Ontario time, I can always say it’s midnight when I go to bed at ten and still be partially true
We’re back from our whirlwind trip. Heading out to my Sister-in-laws for their traditional New Year’s Eve party. You know we’re getting old when it’s all our kids jumping about in the hot tub and us adults are hanging out inside. :) I’ll probably play some Texas Hold’em tonight and lose a few bucks to some kinfolk.
Best of 2011?
Well, looking at my music rotation, I’ll have to go with the Tron remixes. The official “Reconfigured” one has grown on me quite a bit, though there are a few tracks that are absolutely unlistenable. The unnofical “Bio-Digital Jazz” and “Perfect System” editions have also been competing heavily with audiobooks for my drive time listening. Sounds like there may even be another that I need to check out.
Books – Haven’t gotten around to The Hunger Games yet, so that may have to wait for my best of 2012 list. When my left wing and right wings friends agree on a book series, that is to strong a recommendation to ignore.
As for what I did read/listen to – I have to give high marks to the first two Hyperion books, which were new to me. The two Endymion books didn’t follow through on the promise and I didn’t care much for all the retconning. Despite it bogging down some in the middle, I found “Keynes Hayek” and fascinating read. Considering it was about the life and influence of a pair of economists in the 20th century, it made for a compelling narrative and provided me with a lot of insight into why both left and right oriented economists think the way they do. Looking back on my audible history, I see this was also the year of plowing through all of GRR Martin. I can recommend the first book without qualification. I wasn’t as keen on the latest two where he split the story up to cover the same timeline in both books with the different groups of characters.
TV and Movies? Not a lot sticks out in my head, though things like “Dark Matters” and “How it’s Made” on the Science Channel have been one’s I’ve enjoyed. Punkin Chunkin was again a hit this year in the from Texas household.
I’ve also got to give the big endorsement for Skyrim. While they are very different types of fantasy games, I do think Skyrim delivered far better than Dragon Age 2 did for 2011.
Though, I’ve read that Bioware indicates that they are learning some lessons from Skyrim that they will apply for Dragon Age 3. Honesty, with Bioware’s exceptional story telling and character building crossed with Bethesda’s massive world building could result in the kind of perfection in gaming that might signal that we’re ready for the end of the world as there’s just nothing more to be done :)
Well Pan it’s just gone midnight, so Happy New Year and that all stuff.
Happy new year Van. *kiss*
Happy GMT New Year, Vanamonde!
So we just hears about, and started watching on Netflix a tv show called Leverage. Only seen two episodes so far but we both are liking it
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1103987/
I watched Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame in sections while taking breaks. Pretty strange, fun movie, if you can get past the 2 scenes with the talking deer.
http://soundcloud.com/centurymediarecords/auld-lang-syne
Auld Lang Syne. \m/ !!!
Happy New Year, Van!
The Nerdist guys LOVE Skyrim.
I have 150 hours into Skyrim. Nah, I don’t like it at all. Nope. Uh uh. Nada. Nay. Etc.
The Nerdist TV special made the same crack I did about getting Skyrimmed…
This bunny has to word tomorrow
Word = work
I’m not sure if it’s the iPad or the cider to blame this time
I think my cider might be just a little strong. Feeling the buzz
CD: cloudy scrumpy cider. This one has a bit of a kick to it
CE: sweet chili heat Doritos
I need to get some food in me to offset the cider buzz
Hello Vanamonde! …. come in Vanamonde!
Can you hear us? … How is the future? … can you tell us what next year is like? … come in Vanamonde …
I’m afraid I can’t reach him.
Perhaps the world DOES end in 2012.
We went to a party and left early because my wife wasn’t feeling well. Now I will watch Akira with my daughter until midnight rolls around. Oh, and I’m drinking champagne tonight.
My hubby is being silly. He’s watching an episode of the old original Battle Star Galactica
Well I’m at approximately T minus 30 minutes to midnight here in Oklahoma. As I text the lovely CJ, and help my little sister clean her room.
To end he year I’m drinking Ommegang’s Adoration their special edition Winter Ale, a delicious beer. The yeast is more understated than normal for belgian beers, allowing the cherries to shine in the front for both the aroma and flavor. Sweet caramel and slightly burnt sugar augments the cherry with a slight bitterness from hops to cleanse the palate.
As for my new year beer, that you’ll have to wait a bit for. :grin:
Welcome to 2012. Please keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
Woo!
*throws hands in the air*
You just dont care…
Hey, Deadpan!
I’m having a really fun New Year’s Eve. I went to a Saturday evening church service, for which everyone was encouraged to dress up a little because we had our own New Year’s Eve party afterward (even though it was only about 6:00 PM). I drank champagne. After we got all the party food and drinks cleaned up and put away, I came home and had dinner with my parents, then we went out to our city’s New Year’s Eve celebration. It was better than ever! Here in Temecula, we drop a big bunch of grapes during our countdown to the New Year (because we live in wine country). This year, they dropped them from the top of City Hall (instead of just using a freestanding crane), and had a big “2012″ on the front of City Hall that lit up at the end of the countdown. We were there for the East Coast countdown – they always do one countdown at midnight East Coast time (9 PM our time) for families with kids and others who don’t want to stay out that late, and a second countdown at midnight our time. The City also pipes party music over the Old-Town-wide sound system, has an ice skating rink set up, and has live music in outdoor areas. We got to listen to a live swing band before the countdown and watch people dance. We had a lot of fun.
Going home now – have to work on some recordings-for-hire. I will probably stay up until midnight doing that. Happy New Year, Deadpan!
That sounds pretty neat Amy!
It was!
Good night :ugh, up too late:
Happy AZ Time New Year!
goodnight 2012
I’m hoping for many good things this year.
Good morning, Pan. Come one, come all to the first last and only 2012! This offer available for a limited time only! Once it’s gone, it’s gone! You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave.
Good morning, and happy 2012!
So Akira was pretty damn good. We had a hard time understanding the ending, but I think the plot summary on Wikipedia cleared it up for me. Definitely a good way to bring in the year.
Good movie. It can be hard to understand, since it is highly condensed from something like 6 huge volumes of work.
Tetsuo!!!
I couldn’t help but chuckle at the name because long ago I saw the movie Tetsuo The Iron Man. Now THAT was a hard to understand movie. Not like Tampopo. That was pretty easy.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Pan!
I get to spend the day looking at big numbers in little boxes.

I swear the drawer on my filing cabinet is haunted. I’ll close it and it will open itself at random times. Very annoying. I guess at some point I should see about levelling it properly.
CP: I Still Have That Other Girl – Paul Gilbert
Well, I’ve done as much spreadsheet work as I can do for the day. Will have to be back on it tomorrow though, even if it is technically a a holiday here in Canadaland.
Still… so much… more… to be done.
It’s like a mine of clutter.
And I think the canary is dead.
Goin’ down down

I believe I was sexy and 17 in that photo. Egads.
They only want you when youre 17. When youre 21 youre no fun
Dexter season 6 finished. I think I agree to an extent with Van with a semi-underwhelmed feeling. Save for the last 20 seconds or so. That made the year for me.
SEE??
It is too late to get a hearty “fuck 2011″?
Nope. Add my hearty “Hear! Hear!” to your declaration. :)
While I can’t join your cause this year, I’ll give you a sympathy fuck for your troubles.
What are you going to do?!
Please allow me to introduce myself,
I’m Lo Pan of wealth and taste.
I’m with Ed. 2011 wasn’t that bad for me. I found a doctor that didn’t try to convince me I was either crazy or dying. I was able to travel again and even go to Arizona to visit my Goddess, Jack, Rhett, Dan S. Michelle and any other Arizonians I may have forgotten.
All in all, my 2011 was much better than 2010
Minus the wealth and taste…. woo woo
I’m almost certain he’s not serious.

So, the first day of 2012 was half-immersed in packing hell, half-spent with good people and incredible food. In addition to the usuals, Paul Fischer and Martha Holloway (of Balticon fame) plus their ERF were in town.
Apparently, they refer to the Balticon I attended 4 years ago as “Jack’s Balticon”. I don’t know if I should be proud or perturbed by this news.
Goodnight :ancient history:
