foolmaker: December 2004

true to my word

i've updated the image of the day, the astro fact and the weird stuff :)

beautiful durban palms during sunrise.

me at work!

i know i've posted this before..

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks.

What happens when you predict snow but don't get any.... True to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked
"So Ken, where's that 7 inches you promised me last night?"

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did
too they were laughing so hard!

holiday season or not, i'm encountering a fair amount of aggravation!

i've been put under pressure, treated disrespectfully, asked to perform impossible tasks and generally made to feel as if i have very little power of choice.

and i'm determined to sail through this.

me: i cant find a good front end bra for the boxster.

he: car scrotum would go well with a car bra to complete the transexual auto image

the long holiday has given me a chance to reflect.

there's been enough time for me to think about
what i'm doing with my life
where i'm going
and
who with.

so what conclusions have i reached?

well, i appear to have decided that i need new batteries for the remote control, the sofa is not as comfortable as it used to be.. and i need to go on a diet!

those damned holiday pounds.

i had a bad fall. so i just sat there.. in the middle of the slope.. taking pics.

down the slopes!

from l to r: ashley, (some girl), evan and kate!
i must confess - i have a huge crush on kate.

happy birthday, harris!

please stay healthy and happy this year! that's all i want. i can't afford to lose any more people!

and if you dont take care of yourself, i'll kill you!

Merry Christmas, World.

i am now the proud owner of the U2iPod! and it matches my hair!

> I just got it.

good. i was worried maybe i sent it somewhere else. did you take pictures
with it yet? does it hook up ok to your computer or do you need a flash
card to make it work?

> why did you do this?
>
> it's too expensive.

grrrr. i didnt know you measured sincerity of gifts by their cost ?
quit being ridiculous.

>
> I can't accept it.
>
> dont be so nice to me.

i am not being nice to you. its just something i thought you would enjoy.
nothing more. nothing less.

i still miss you. i got a new U2 iPod and thought of you. you'd love it. and you'd tell me to stop being so ridiculous. and you'd tell me you weren't being nice to me.

ha.

yes. i do miss you. and i hope you're safe and healthy and happy this christmas.
