Yes, I'm still alive. Just busy. Gonna try to get back to doing this every day. You know, this is the longest I've ever actually kept up with a journal/diary thingy. If you allow for month-long breaks of course.

The week-end was ok. Tired of course. We made a couple new dishes (I like to pretend I cook) from TV cook books. Alton Brown (from FoodTV's Good Eats) made those mini-burgers like White Castle makes. I hate White Castle but these were really good and really easy. And Mella and I made North African Chicken. Peanuts and spices and whatnot. It was really good on pita. Kinda soupy though, and I don't know why that happened. Anyway.

We've been getting free cable stations above and beyond what we normally get. I don't know whether it's a mistake or a teaser preview we weren't told about but it's pretty cool. Lots of cool channels with movies and other stuff. And new kids channels for the little ones.

Seeya tomorrow... I hope.

What, so it's raining now? Actually, I'm not sure if it's raining NOW. I haven't looked outside just yet but the yahoo weather page said it's raining and it's a little early to stick my head out into the dark dark morning and check. But I'll bring my umbrella when I get up the courage to leave for work just in case.

Oh, and happy birthday, Newton!

And that title comes from Stuart Stevens from "Northern Exposure", the episode called "Jules et Joel" in 1991. I miss that show.

Happy New Year! Resolutions? Nope. You?

Still got the Christmas tree up. The little lady got the ornaments out and I'm not sure where they go back. She's not here so it'll just have to wait until she's gets home to get put away. Well, at least it takes up a bunch of space that I don't have to clean. And I am putting away the candy canes. One at a time. Occasionally. When I'm hungry. Heh.
