Peace on earth, good will towards men... er, persons. OK, individuals. Oh, whudja get, whudja get, whudja get?!?!
Thanks for axing! I got two (outstanding) volumes from the ‘rents by Orlando Figes — on Russian cultural history and the revolutionary movement — and from the gf a massive box of chocolate truffles. Which I think I’m supposed to, um, share liberally when we watch the next Russian chick-flick DVD.
So, no new bike (with streamers on the handlebars)— but you gotta have something to look forward to, right?
Happy Christmas to all!

I got a new computer
a bunch of mxpx stuff, and doing a first pitch at a Suns game…feel free to come and mock me when I bounce the ball in front of the plate, everyone.

Gotta start practicing!
I always thought it would be funny if somebody snapped off a nasty slider or something for a first pitch.

As soon as the snow melts, obviously.
Thinking a knuckleball would be pretty fantastic.

Its a pain so far
my gf got it at radio shack (thats a mistake to begin with…) and they said i’d get all nfl and mlb games with sirius and the best of xm package. I checked with Sirius and you only get the NFL games plus MLB talk, but no mlb games. With XM and the best of Sirius you get all MLB and NFL games, so that thing is going back. I almost never use the radio for music anyway, just sports talk.

oh yeah, take that crap back
the mlb games is about 75% of the reason for why I have XM radio.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

truly, i never did.
i had seen the first reel or so about 6 times, but had never sat all the way through. with the number of commercials they tack on, sitting all the way through is a serious commitment!

In an effort to be more inclusive I’m thinking of canning duck and replacing him with someone a little bit more diverse. Would that help?

yes, we could use some color here.
fire duck and replace him with anyone-not-white, wouldja?

And why did I draw the short straw? I posted Adam Sandler’s Hanukah Song as one of the quotes! During Hanukah? Where was our West Coast rep then, huh?

Yes
I have been pushing for duck’s removal through e-mails for quite some time due to simple unsatisfactory performance, but if we can diversify our staff at the same time, then duck should be removed yesterday.

The first 10 minutes of Zombieland, and especially the opening credits, maybe the coolest 10 minutes on film.

Inglorious Basterds was my Christmas gift to myself. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a director’s cut on the special edition version. But the movie is just amazing.
