watch out stupid people

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Slap stupid people in the head. Get your resolution here

thanks to Crystal for the above link (you win on the more fun resolution!) and for the impetus that brings another post to this relatively barren blog. so...let's see. well, things have been slow here. working here and there, some amount of loaf-age, the occasional acid flashback. i really need to get back on track with thesis related things, especially considering that my thesis proposal that i scheduled to do by now is 110% non-existent. on top of that, i still can't get the max external that i'm contractually obligated to finish into a stable, working state (goddamn dynamic memory allocation...one day, just one day, i will smite thee!). "just nine more months...just nine more months..." echoes through my head. i'm really hoping that i'm going to have the willpower and perseverance to write this thesis even though i'm not going to be doing much of anything with my degree in the near future.

i went to the mall yesterday...it was a bit disorienting. the most poignant moment was hearing "the most wonderful time of the year" being blasted through the PA in a store. with the arguing customers, overworked employees, and the foul stench of unbridled consumerism in the air, it may have been the most ironic time and place possible. but i digress...

anyway, nye should be a blast. teaching my boss how to brew early in the day, hoping to hang out with Crystal after that once i roll into the area, and eventually making my way to Gill's party in nazareth, the birthplace of jesus. (you didn't know that jesus was born in pennsylvania?? ha...even if he was he still wouldn't have been white, you stupid people...slap!!) this should be one for the books. considering that none of the media people are making it to Gill's party, it rests upon my shoulders to bring the insanity that they would have. therefore, i'm just hoping that i'll be alive when tomorrow comes.
