son just said to me; “25 isn’t funny, why isn’t 25 funny?” which at once makes no sense and is in itself - funny
when you have kids, New Years Eve is all about which friends (with kids) gets the party invites out first, othewise you’re home w/no sitter

i don’t know how to put this, but i’m kind of a big deal … i have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany
this old dog is still unwilling to learn new tricks (i’m looking at you iPhone SDK), or perhaps just unable to learn new tricks …

Somehow listening to The Bee Gees “How Deep Is Your Love” feels appropriate in the waiting, cuz we’re living in a world of fools…

mourning the loss of a website I designed. once you lose your “in”, you lose your design: http://www.crestviewchurch.com/ (eew)
Watching 1 of 11 iPhone SDK tutorials. I have a few big tiny projects on the horizon.
i must have an unproductive cough, because it sure isn’t doing much for me.
Fun and well done site (pretty great flash 3D), NASA @ Home and City, learn how NASA helps your everyday life: http://is.gd/e6aO

who are you when no one is watching?
blurb books came in, disappointed with print quality, and definitely upset it took 27 days. anyone use Lulu? What’d you think?
saddling up for an interesting week of work. somehow in the car i was much more motivated and had everything figured out. now, not so much
determined to get the blog up and running in all its newness glory by January 1. I promise. I also lie all the time. But never purposely.
its been 15 minutes and I’m already ready for the kids Christmas break to be over. Now. Or for them to move out.
Feels good to be home
told the kids i just drove them 500 miles, they’re putting me to bed after i drown there bickering out of my head with scotch

feeling slightly better; at least glad to not be whimpering by the toilet and laying in the shower, wondering if death would be better …
apparently the stomach virus has found me for Christmas afterall (and its found my coat, shoes, shirt, and an unfortunate bag of gifts)
When push comes to shove, shove usually ends up crying like a girl and hiding in the closet
stayed up till 2am watching Season 1 of Friday Night Lights. Also, did my first video with new toys: http://www.vimeo.com/2635380
received a portable backdrop system, transmitter/receiver units for the lighting kit AND remote timer control. total photo-gasm day.
Merry Christmas friends of the Internet! Here’s hoping your kids didn’t get up at 1:30am like ours did
Sonya is feeling better, no hospital visit needed (just needs to rest more often); thank you so much the prayers
Here’s my Christmas Mix for 2008: http://blip.fm/profile/wiseacre/playlist
When did I lose that childhood excitement for Christmas? Might have been when I never got that AT-AT I asked Santa for when I was 11
please pray, Sonya is having cramps/pre-term labor. Baby’s not due to Feb 10th and we’re not at home (and without insurance). Thank you …
woke up at 10am which is a Christmas gift in itself. seem to have a throat troll that sounds like tom waits, i guess i win again …
If could give you an answer that left you content, at peace, without doubt; then I would- but I can’t; and therein lies the human condition
http://twitpic.com/vq0a - Eating Morroccan … mmmm
apparently the Yankees did NOT get the memo about their being a financial crisis. perhaps the big three should have begged Steinbrenner
feel so bad after criticizing my iPhone for anything that I whisper an apology: “I’m sorry baby, I didn’t mean it, its all good .. shh”
also, the random auto-correct substitutes are creating new words like “Neq” and “fugheing”: http://oopsyoufailed.com/
I believe the Internet needs a Neq Years resolution to not allow ANYONE to say “fail” anymore (it’s time has expired, really, just stop)
Facebook for iPhone won’t work (keeps making me log in over and over). Also, eating Morriccan food tonight. And, what day is it?
“You can never go home again Oatman, but I guess you can shop there”
the raggin dwarfs have been subdued with peppermint mocha and a stern warning (no back punching!), now its time for a hot shower …
i have a fantastic idea for a product, but i have no idea 1) how to get it from mock up to actual, 2) how to sell it/distribute. erg.
definitely an acquired tasted (with warbling vocals of Alec Ounsworth), but I enjoy CYHSY, and you might too ♫ http://blip.fm/~19tmt
Music to wake up to, by the superb 2 piece (can’t believe they’re just 2 guys). ♫ http://blip.fm/~19tld
Destination: arrived. My back feels like a thousand angry dwarfs fugheing over a turnip
