Today is December 25. I'm at my dad's, sneaking onto Earthlink. I was going
through some old stuff trying to find my Nerd Illustrateds (my zine from grades 6-8)
so I could start transcribing them. Also I found a stash of book covers that I had
decorated in HS. They had pre-printed ones with the Norseman head on them, but you
could turn them around and have plain white to color and style to your heart's
content. The physics one is really cool. Not only does it have a little sampler of
all the nail poilshes I owned at the time (labeled--I must have done it when I had
the book home for homework one night!) but also song lyrics rom a variety of bands.
Not only the expected Yes and Rush (Xanadu!) but
also Pearl
Jam's Jeremy, Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight, and Nirvana's Heart-shaped
Box. Plus a lil' bit of Landslide for good measure. It's kind of like a time
capsule of whatever songs were getting stuck in my head 3rd period of my senior
year.
Here is an entry I wrote last night at Grandpa's
Today is December 24th. I am at my Grandpa's house in Ames. If I really absolutely
needed to, I could grab yon phonecord and dial in to Earthlink. I only have an
access number for Boone, though so I woudln't want to be all long-distance dialing.
I seriously wish nano (the word processing program) would actually word wrap. It
doesn't want to, no matter what sorts of flags or options you set. Or if I had
unix *skills* I could maybe get nano off there and return to the glory of the Pine
Composer.
Right now we are straight up watching Bad Santa. When I first got here, they were
watching a Chris Rock special. It's the one that features tussin, the dry ball, the
big piece of chicken, and some other lines that Chris (Stormy, not Rock) used to
quote all the time. Then the Blue Collar Comedy Movie came on so we watched the
first
couple guys on that. It was kind of a tradition from when we used to go out to
Colorado - Joe H. had their CD from before the movie was even out.
Tomorrow we're gonna come back to Grandpa's and have a nice meal. I may have
mentioned this here before but I got Bill, Lisa, Louie and Jay Seasons 1 & 2 of
Arrested Development. Hopefully they are still
into the show. Otherwise, I dunno, I think
Jonathan had put them on his
"list"
and so maybe if they don't appear in his stocking, my copies could find a home
with him and Katy.
Well that is probably all for now. The late great John Ritter is arguing with
displaced-Santa Joel(?) Murray. Catch ya later.
So that was fun. This morning we have been listening to some good stuff - Beggars
Banquet, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, a christmas CD my dad's friend Erika made for
him, and of course Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper. The first 2 were on CD's I burned
for Dad for part of his present. BB was dl'ed from iTMS and I printed it up with
cover art and track listing and a sticker for the CD. I also burned him a disc of
AC/DC, Back in Black and Dirty Deeds, just from my own collection. I had to take 1
track about balls off to get both albums to fit, and then I hand-wrote the
tracklisting on the CD. Hopefully he can still get some enjoyment out of it.
