"It's all of you who make it great"

The Ho Ho Ho-down was a success again this year. I want to thank everyone for coming out because as the title says, it's all of you who make it great. I also want to give a special thanks to my wonderful sister for capturing all of the Santa pics. You're amazing at what you do. Any interested in checking out more of her work you can find her blog here!

There's a stale donut on my desk

I didn't ask for it. I don't want it. But there it sits...

I think I might be getting sick. This is very bad news, since I've got a large number of people to entertain come Saturday. Luckily I've got a bunch of the decorating already finished. Check it:

I'm actually probably getting sick from being up too late working on all this nonsense. Or maybe it's from the multiple walks to Home Depot, usually in torrential rain. Either way I have to figure out a sure fire way to fight this thing. First things first - pho...

I really want my warehouse-mates to do a cover of the Bed Intruder song on Saturday. Hopefully it happens. I'm thinking something acoustic like these guys put together:



Sometimes I'm a bird or candy or a butterfly or an elephant or a frosted pint glass full of 4 Loko...

You're all wonderful

Saturday was the Holiday Ho-down. It was a great time. Good people, good food and good drinks. Here's some of my favorite pics from the night.

When we break we'll wait for our miracles

Ted Stevens has failed in his reelection bid. Kudos to the people of Alaska for realizing that you shouldn't elect convicted felons to national office...

...I'm still sore today. I wish I had remembered to wear my deep tissue heating pad. Those things are awesome...

...Today is all screwed up. I keep forgetting what I'm doing and making more plans. I'm going to a lecture at Kane Hall with my Dad, which should be good. It's about nature and the next techonology revolution. I am a little bummed that I'm going to miss Of Montreal though. But I doubt that I'll have the energy to go down there after the lecture...

...I also was talking with Jeremy about dinner. And for the first time in weeks I came up with a great menu, unfortunately I won't be able to make. Maybe I can convince him to hold off till tomorrow. Here's a run down on what I'm thinking: Bacon Mustard Pork Roast w/ Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Green Bean w/ Shallot Dressing, Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes, and some bad ass rolls. Doesn't that sound good?...

...People do weird things on the toilet. Actually I can't say that. I've done all of those things...

...Morgan introduced me to The Gossip today. It's so good. I haven't listened to anything else since she told me about them...

...Holiday party planning is in full effect. I really need to send out the invites though. It's getting down to the wire...

...Lunch time...
