Approximately 20% of the women were wearing uggs at target last weekend. the silly all-over sasquatch-shaggy ones. that’s a lot of furry boots. With short skirts. I had to smile.. I love when something totally ridiculous is trendy. They’re the leg-warmer/headband combo of the new millennium!
Trust Wikipedia for the full unabridged history of the Christmas Tree. Leave it to us crazy Germans to take a tradition of hanging sacrificial slaves from a tree into a wonderland of lights.

Man, I really dig this song’s mix.
Healthy thoughts for Graypumpkin‘s outpatient surgery today, and I hope he gets a decent dice pouch out of his gall bladder!
I alternately fear and welcome the torrent of backlogged email that’s going to hit me once the notifications are fully fixed. Looks like it’ll be soon! I just got an email that was supposed to land in my box on 11/20. eep.

7980 – Monday? Already?
Like Barney says before he steals Fred’s Holiday Pebbles cereal… “Ho, Ho, Ho, I’m Huh, huh, hungry!”
A bowl of cinnamon life will do in a pinch. Slices of banana sound weird with cinnamon, but it’s pretty tasty. Bananas are better tossed into pancakes or monkeys, I think.
Oh, the joys of the holiday season. Dave Barry’s annual gift guide is here.
This is not your ordinary gift guide, the kind that features gifts that somebody might actually want or use. The gifts in this guide were selected because they meet a very strict criterion, which is that when we saw the item advertised, we said to ourselves: ”Are they SERIOUS?” The idea is, if you give one of these items to somebody on your list, that person will be much less likely to want to exchange gifts with you in the future.
Finally, some real humor in the Cathy comic strip. AAAHH!

 Dear Santa…
Dear Santa, This year I’ve been busy! Last Thursday I gave juliabee a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Last Friday I pulled applelard‘s hair (-5 points). In October I turned heartsarts in for tearing the tag off a mattress (3 points). In November I helped eryx_uk see the light (8 points). In February I broke enigma_one‘s X-Box (-12 points). Overall, I’ve been naughty (-11 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal!

7979 – chart7
7978 – I rewind about 19 years after emulation.
Nice relaxing day with Danny. Went to CJ’s for Lunch, hit target to do a little holiday shopping, roamed the neighborhood a bit on foot.
It seems that Dan thinks that I have a higher IQ than he does.. he sells himself a little short, I think, or maybe he’s selling me long. He confided in me that a lot of his goofiness is premeditated, although mine is generally off the cuff. Kristy the bartender much more “crushworthy” than Miranda the waitress. Miranda was nice, but seemed to be running on very low fuel cells… in need of a few red bulls.
I told Danny about OGRE, and he was fairly enthused. Maybe I’ll pick up a copy just to keep in the games closet. I wish I still had the version for the Atari ST… I’d love to run that on my caSTaway emulator on the palmtop. Maybe a disk image of it is somewhere around. What brought it to mind is the local Zion Lutheran church looks just a bit like a Mark V. (Minus the bristling weapons, giant tractor-treads and malevolent AI, of course.)
update, an Atari st disk image of ogre can be found at #202 here, and a windows emulator here SainT I just spent about 2 hours playing Ogre, and some other classics.very spiffy emulator, even plays a sound file of the old floppy drive noise, if you want. boy, I really stink at Ogre these days… practice makes perfect! Chessmaster 2000 and the Temple of Apshai Trilogy (image 141) really brought me back to 1986, junior year in high school, wasting time in my room when I should’ve been doing homework.
It’s sort of funny to think that I was playing these video games before a few of my friends were even born. Ah, the generation gap. (Temple was released in 1980… I remember playing it on a few different systems, the first being an Atari 800)
Fracas is a great word.
I haven’t felt much desire to hang with Magda this week. Not sure why. I know my time is limited, but the drive isn’t there. Not sure if it’s a loss of interest, or some subconscious way of protecting my feelings.

7977 – a meme before breakfast.
1. What’s your name?
Most folks call me Scotto or Scott or Big Guy or Dude! or Hun.
2. Favorite fright:
Probably the most effective were the jump-scenes in Poltergeist or Alien when I was a kid. I rather like Hitchcock’s stuff now.
3. Got any weird phobias/hangups?
I’d think that we all do! I get a little vertigo when I look straight *up* at something rather than down at a depth. I also stay close to the wall rather than a banister near a ledge or deep fall. My greatest personal fear is suffering at the hands of an incompetent.. whether it’s a doctor after an accident, or a fry cook dropping hairs into my onion rings. I don’t like the idea of someone “helping” me while being unqualified for the task. People mishandling guns near me. People who cheat on their partners physically disgust me.
4. Who’s the best James Bond? Come on, now. It’s obviously…
Sean Connery – though Roger Moore was the best Saint.
5. Pick a happy childhood memory.
Here’s one! – dad packs lunch & tonka trucks
6. Who was your first ever crush?
My babysitter’s friend Patty, I think. Or Diana Horton, my first “girlfriend” in first grade. Not sure which I had a big hug-fondness for. I wonder where either of them are now?
7. Favorite bands/singers:
Talking Heads, They Might be Giants, Soul Coughing, Cake, Concrete Blonde, Beach Boys, Grateful Dead, many, many more.
8. If you could have one material thing besides money… and just for kicks (in other words, nothing you desperately need), what would it be?
A personal masseuse/maid would be nice. Someone to work my shoulders, back and feet and then clean up the apartment.
9. Current celebrity crush(es)?
Hm… lots of attractive people out there, but no celeb girls that I’m currently “crushing” on.
10. Wisest thing anyone’s ever said to you:
“Pick your battles” (not that I always follow that advice.)
I’m Naboo!

Chris Yerina, from Gloversville, NY, who some may know from Respectables, O’Sheas, Culture Room, Fetish Factory parties, Club Exit, etc, or maybe as the guitarist for the bands Monkeypaw, No End, 30 Odd Sicks and Kimsagro, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday night.
They are holding a benefit in his honor tomorrow night at Respectables.
They are trying to gather up a few bands to play between 9pm and Midnight.
If you know of a band that’d like to join in honoring Chris, please have them call 754/235-5206.
There is no cover at the door, but donations will be greatly appreciated. All donations will go directly to his family to help cover the unexpected costs of his funeral services.

Starmark had their Holiday party last night. I wonder who the entertainment was? Three years ago it was Jimmy Buffett.
Happy Birthday, Becky, wherever you are!
I’ve lost a lot of interest in Lost at the moment. Maybe when season 2 comes out on dvd, I’ll peek at it again, but it just hasn’t held my interest the last three episodes or so. I suspect it’s suffering from “Twin Peaks” syndrome. What I once considered a 9 of 10, I’m now putting at about a 6. I never cared about Shannon’s character, and really don’t much care about the new group, especially the cliche of the “tiny twerp actress (that’s not a great actress) who is supposed to be a tough badass”. Boring. Alias, Buffy, Rain. Enough already. Rodreguez in Aliens… she’s believable. The island scenery is more lovely in HD, though. I hope that it turns around soon.
Revised plans for today, no gaming – Danny prefers not to go, but I’m unsure why. I guess I’ll find out once he gets here, about 11:30am. Maybe a dip in the pool? He’s bringing a swimsuit and towel in case things are good for it. Maybe a trip to Crabby Jack’s for lunch. I’m not sure that I can make it to respectables late night, or Dave’s early night yet.
7975 – Tea Gee Eye Eff.
tick-tock, tick tock.
Heard from Hippie Dave yesterday! he’s got some recurring sinus infection going on… I wonder if that’s a sign of some deeper issue? The kidlets birthday party is Saturday, but I’ve already told Danny I’d go with him to the Gaming thing. Maybe I can divide the day, somehow.
No word from bro since he got out of the hospital.
I was bushed last night… I crashed out right about 9:30, which is about 3 hours earlier than usual, these days.
7974 – The gift of Cake! And cute cartoons!
I wish I were a Christmas tree
a pretty little pine
I’d wear a star upon my head
and ornaments that shine
Oh if I were a Christmas Tree
I’d dress myself with care
‘Cause if I wore bananas
I’ll get monkeys in my hair
I’d have nice presents at my feet
and tinsel to my toes
I’d be all wrapped in twinkly lights
with pine cones on my nose
I wish I were a Christmas tree
a pretty little pine
I’d wear a star upon my head
and ornaments that shine.
*POP* Oh yay!
Kitty Kitty Kitty you are pretty pretty pretty big
Kitty Kitty Kitty I like you!
Kitty Kitty Kitty you are pretty pretty pretty red
Kitty Pretty Kitty I LIKE YOU!!

7973 – It’s December!
Ok.. ’tis the season now, I guess… Not sure if I should trot out the Santa Scotto, xmas sleestak, or just stick with starry-eyed. I should probably drag out the December background image too. Pretty basic, just added a starry night.
Danny and I are going to check out a gaming convention taking place at Nova Southeastern this Saturday. Warhammer, MtG, GURPS, etc. Maybe I’ll get a game of Zombies!! in… or Maybe I’ll see Jeff and B there.
KT at work got $850 from FEMA as a result of following those post Wilma links I posted… I got big thanks at work yesterday as a result.
Herm Cracked me up with her latest gauzy, yet shiny noggin-photo from 2L… man, I’m missing that place (and playing/gabbin’ with her, especially!)
One of my fave holiday icons not seen on my reading list proper –
Ralphie!
