Don't rain on my parade. Or I'll fuck you up.

Hope the two or three folks who read this had a nice New Years celebration. we sure did--got to see The Mistreaters (best i've seen them in years!) and Aluminum Knot Eye (fantastic, but they usually are), then hit a couple of nice, low key shindigs with old friends. not too bad.

I kinda wish I hadn't worked over my xmas break--i would have liked to get more stuff done around here, but i couldn't pass up getting paid for not much work--not too many people come to the helpdesk over break.

well, I'm skippin class tomorrow so Jen and i can jet to Texas for the weekend to visit my sister and bro-in-law. in the meantime, go check out these goofballs: Finntroll, I guess its a bunch of Finnish folks who sing songs about trolls. I guess they started this as a joke, then decided to run with it--its a type of Finnish folk music reminiscent of celtic folk and polka called humppa played by a death metal band. Sure, its a little goofy, but i dig it.
