I'm not on crack. I swear.

You may have noticed that the time of my last post was 4:26 a.m. That, my friends, was no lie. It wasn't edited or nothin'. That being said, I'm fuckin' tired. Maybe I should just buy some Tylenol PM or something. I feel like I haven't slept in years. Also, I'm pretty inclined to agree with Dustro's theory of PCD.

But back to work.

Yomping in the yeep

Pull on your Depends and turn up your speakers, kids: this video's a keeper! Why? Let's just say "I want it that way."

Brie traded in her truck today. She now has a Jeep again, just like good ol' times. I'm so relieved. In fact, we were so excited that KT thought we should take a mini road trip so that Brie (and I) could meet a couple of her friends — a (lesbian) couple who have four (yes, four) childrens. The youngest is around 8 years old; the oldest is 17. We got there quite late, so the kids were in bed, but I managed to meet one of them, who woke up bleary-eyed and parched and came to the kitchen to get some water.

Epiphany

Today is Epiphany in Greece. I'm feeling a lot bit wistful, because at this time last year I was tromping on the Acropolis, taking pictures of all sorts of rocks.. I was looking at some pictures for a while (that site's in Greek, but don't let it stop you!) and then I remembered HoJo's photos, which, miraculously, are still on Luther's server. He must've had an in with the techies. But really, I miss Greece so much right now. I'll just go listen to some Greek music that Demetrios would always listen to on the bus ...

If I remember correctly, Ashlee's heading back to Belgium today. Safe travels.

And, to comment on yesterday's links, I was again reading Blogging Project Runway — the latest post (From the mailbox) even has a comment from Diana. (I neglected to mention yesterday that she's got another website, iHEARTswitch, which is a web-based show geared toward getting girls hooked on technology. You should check it out — Diana hosts it with Alison Lewis. There's not much up yet, but I suspect it will be going strong in not too long.) And I've gotten word (via Blogging Project Runway) that Project Jay airs Feb. 22. Whee!

I'm fairly certain we're going to see Brokeback Mountain tonight, as it's finally arrived in the Big O.

Finally, I adjusted the code so that, if the blog entries have been smooshing down to below the sidebar in your browser, it shouldn't. But let me know, just in case.

Miscellany

I need to leave a few links that have been amusing me lately.

First, this movie by Jonathan Coulton will probably make you smile — it's an amalgam of interesting Flickr photos put to music.

Next, to those of you who are fans of Neil's and Terry's Good Omens, HarperCollins presents Crowley's and Aziraphale's resolutions.

And fourfour's analysis of the beginning of Project Runway 2 was pretty funny, especially if you're addicted like Dustro and I. (We all remember Jay McCarroll last season: I didn't steal the bitch's dye!) He also provided a link to another PR blogging extravaganza: the aptly named Blogging Project Runway. I think I'll keep an eye on both these, even for sheer entertainment purposes. And, against my better judgement, I added Santino's blog to my blogroll. It's nothing spectacular, so it'll probably disappear after a while. But Diana's blog — that is staying. I love Diana because she's so nerdy and normal. And yes, Dustro, Zulema's last name really is Griffin (and her website has mood music).

And I really want to make Ron's Animal Cracker hat. I think it would be a good introduction to stranded/fair isle knitting. I'm also going to jump on some mosaic knitting soon, whenever I find (or make) a suitable chart.

But now I have to go to the post office and send my journal to NY for the Penpal Journal Swap.

Karaoke

I just spent the last three and a half hours at Brie's house, playing with their new karaoke game. I managed to score perfectly ( 50,000 points ) on Time After Time. You should have been there — my mad skillz were rockin' the house.

Let's go!

Here we are, standing at the edge of 2006.

I think it's time to grab life by the horns.
