You know all of those cute little credit-card sized gift certificates you got over the holidays? They may not be as safe as you think.

HOLY CRAP!

I'm betting that this guy hasn't offered to donate any of the money he's made from his bond-trading career or that he might make from this film to the family of the man for whose death he's responsible.

I know that this "really condensed books" site gets blogged everywhere, but I can't help laughing at it. The Tolkien ones are priceless.

 I am Mario.
I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You?

Here's a fascinating story about a soldier who disappeared in 1968. It was assumed that he stole money from his ship and then went on the run, but it seems that that's not what really happened at all.

I'm at work, which really sucks, especially because it appears that my sinus infection is not gone, I have a sinus headache that makes my head feel as if it's going to explode, and they're jackhammering right outside of my office area. Grrrr. I just spoke to my doctor, and she's decided to send me for a CAT scan of my sinuses. Oh, joy, oh, yay.

A joyous and peaceful Christmas to all of you celebrating today. Dave is in the other room playing with his new toys, and we're getting ready to head down to Highland Park for the family holiday dinner. I hope Santa (or your relatives or friends) was good to you, and that you're enjoying this beautiful day.

If I were blind, I'd certainly tune in for this. Hell, I'm sighted, and I'd tune in.

We just got back from a surprisingly lovely visit with my folks. We all sat around and watched the (bastardized) remake of "Miracle on 34th Street," featuring Dylan McDermott and his ultra-poufy hair, and then today we slept late, opened presents (it was a gift-certificate Christmas around the old household, and my parents were *incredibly* generous), ate yummy turkey, and visited with an old friend. We got back earlier this evening, and I'm doing laundry while Dave wraps presents.
Tomorrow, it's Dave's family's turn. Hope you all are having a great holiday season so far.

Well, our landlords (including the guy, who apparently isn't living here any more but is still our landlord -- don't ask) came through a few minutes ago, and were really nice about everything. They walked around to look at stuff, and it didn't seem like anything was bothering them. We informed them about the temperamental freezer and the leaky radiators, and they told us several times how much they would miss us and what great tenants we were. Bizarro.
Anyway, we're about to head off to my parents' house until tomorrow afternoon, and then we'll be back here until Christmas afternoon. Hope everyone has finished their shopping and is enjoying a nice cup of cocoa and some football.

"They were checking trunks and drivers licenses at the parking lot is what took so long. Because what those terrorists want to destroy is musical theatre."
Kymm never fails to crack me right up.
