Happy V-Day!

it's been a while

Wow, it's been a while. That's what happens when the holidays hit, and then I just check out of reality for a while. I suppose a trip to Colorado, and a subsequent one to Cairo don't help.

So a quick update on things new: I've been indoor rock climbing several times now - enough, I believe, to call myself a beginner instead of just some lame ass on the wall. The economy has affected even my side projects, canceling a website project I was ramping up to do. The bright side of this: I've redone the koasynth site because I had some time, and I was sick of the flash placeholder that had been there for almost two years. My day work is still solid, though the number of projects has slowed dramatically, leaving some days a bit longer than they should be.

I'm still flabbergasted at how differently browsers render sites, still. It's frakin 2009, and still they can't settle on a standard that they all follow correctly? Amazing.

And speaking of frak, BSG has nearly gone off the deep end. It's now the 'Weekly Kill Show.' Yet still entertaining...

Merry Christmas

Or "Happy Holidays" if I'm to be politically correct. So Schuba's is on the list for tonight to see an old high school acquaintance that happens to be a friend of my girlfriend play with his band. Should be a fun time and a good way to kick-off my holiday break.

I'm still not done with gifts. 30 hours until Christmas and I've got one Amazon order trickling in, a few more to wrap, and they all need to get from Chicago to Elgin tomorrow in a wonderful snow/rain storm. I can't wait. Actually, I'm way ahead of schedule compared to my norm for the holiday season. Looks like I won't be up til the small hours tomorrow night. Sweet. Sleep.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Enjoy what warmth you find in family, friends, and bottles of joy.

And if you need some lewd humor from a few years ago:
