my day to day

i was anxiously awaiting my first cup of coffee this morning at work. I had paid my $0.25 and had added the sugar, and was looking to pour two creamers in as well... the first went in no problem: peel, pour, chuck. but as i was peeling back the foil seal on the 2nd creamer, i became lost in thought regarding the thermal cycle the creamer was taking in the hot coffee, and how it relates to our current low-level fog experiment for Wonder of the World. 2nd creamer: peel, bend down, pour... into the garbage can, curse.

think about how long it's been since you last updated your blog... since the first. huh, let's blog about our stupid little creamer-distraction-story. huh... ACCESS RESTRICTED in 50 pt. font. guess i can't blog from work any more... =(

the last word in the Bible

it's been a long year.
i am ready and anxious to start a new one.

i believe this is the last song i'll list, and it's only appropriate today.

so this is the new year
and i don't feel any different
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back
there'd be no distance that could hold us back

so this is the new year
