Well, another year has come to a close - that's really all I can say about it. I'm still alive - hooray!
Let's hope 2004 sees us all in a more peaceful mood. Relax. Enjoy yourself. Smile. : )
And leave me more comments! ; P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACY!
The Particles of Star Trek
Omigod, the Faux News Channel now shows here on an Australian owned station at night, and we were surfing and saw the big TERROR ALERT ORANGE or whatever the hell it is now, and we couldn't believe it. Is that really necessary? Please, let me know how you feel about it. Because I feel it is not necessary, and I certainly wouldn't watch a channel that blasted that at me all day every day.

Movie: The Gift
Do you ever have one of those days when you are just in an annoyed mood? The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, but people you talk to just really annoy you? Today was that day for me.

We had the traditional Xmas roast last night, with chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. We are bloated, but it was good.

Movie: Outland, Rabbit-Proof Fence
Man, is there anything worse than going to a barbecue where you don't really know anyone, and then get stuck sitting at a table with a bunch of people who have known each other for years who start talking about their sex lives? People you know - funny. People you don't know - not funny.
I saw this guy on a documentary recently and I liked his pics, especially the ones of himself and his family.

Odd Facts About Lewis and Clark
Texas Beyond History
History of Grand Prairie
OK, why didn't we learn the history of Grand Prairie in school? Did you learn about your area's history when you were in school?
I was watching Dr. Phil today, and the station breaks in with a special news bulletin to tell us - the new All Blacks coach. I was pretty annoyed, but then I thought, well, a new Cowboys coach might be big news at home. What do you think?

Movie: Men in Black II
OK, I am currently obsessed with some guy on BookCrossing who keeps posting nude pics of himself on his BookCrossing site. I have seen three so far this weekend. He shows everything but his privates, and then he will put back some picture of a statue in between nude shots. If you want to become obsessed too, e-mail me and I will e-mail you back his BookCrossing bookshelf. I mean, that kind of thing is fine on your own website, but don't post pics like that on a general interest website where kids might stumble across it.
Panama Canal Live Cams - we watched a documentary on the Panama Canal not long ago, and it was right fascinating.

I got ambushed on the phone today with someone I had applied for a job with - she was doing pre-interviews for interviews, and I think I probably botched it, but I didn't really want that job, so I don't care. I hate interviewing, especially this kind of out of the blue call on a Saturday, and then asking about any "specific" bad calls I have handled in the past. I don't really handle "bad" calls well, so I probably should not be applying for any customer service jobs like that. In fact, I'm not anymore. Whew, that's a relief.

OK, how about some holiday links?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY STACY AND JAMES!
Hump Day Hottie - Hot or not?
Just watched a video of someone named Mindy Smith singing "Jolene." I guess it is from a tribute album to Dolly, and Dolly appears at the end of the video, and I really wish Dolly had sung the song herself. Nice try, but no. I'll be sticking with the original, thanks.
I'm glad this chick didn't give me my driver's test, or the same thing would have happened to me. Sheesh.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TERRI AND ERIC!
Short music clips from some good bands.
Well, the project I was working on is finally finished, and I am now unemployed. Yes, EDS did let us go right before Christmas, with no Christmas pay or bonus or anything. Dicks.
Our neighbors on one side got in the habit of feeding some ducks that hang around their house, but now they have gone on holiday and the ducks don't have anyone to feed them. Dicks.
Adios Ruben Gonzalez.

OK, here's a couple of papercraft sites, just perfect for those Christmas holidays when the kids are home from school and need something to keep them entertained for a few minutes. Or maybe someone has quit smoking and needs a little something to keep them occupied - Simon has made several of these. : )
Yamaha Motor Papercraft
Canon 3D Papercraft
Fun and educational - what more could you ask?

Anyone have any wacky baby name anecdotes?

OK, put down your drink before checking out Tanya's church sign:
So great.
Show Tanya some love with some comments if you laughed as hard as I did.

Hornblower Hottie - Hot or not?
I know I've shown him as a hottie before, but he is my favorite hottie, and the movies start tonight in the US, so I had to show him again.
And my favorite LOTR hottie is now Sean Astin. I heard a really nice interview with him on the radio, and he gave a nice little speech at the premiere, and brought his daughter on stage with him, and she is just beautiful and obviously loves her dad very much.
