the rabbits of the night

no complaints, really. santa was good to us. new year's was well in hand, with little to no drama (once, there was drama, and it was bad, bad, bad). mostly, it was great to see some faraway friends, live and in the flesh, rather than here, in the cold yet familiar landscape of "the internets". also, here's a live news update.....the latest in the series of episodes involving guys getting shot in the head with various projectiles (usually nails, but in this case, a bullet), and somehow, they just don't notice. these are either the toughest bastards out there, or they're just so numbed by a beer that undoubtedly ends in the word "ice", that they no longer feel pain. maybe these guys need to be hand selected for covert, sexy black-ops type stuff, because clearly, they're unstoppable. anyway, you see what happens when i watch the news. i'll be off now. there are stacks of dvd's that need watchin', and lots of books that aren't going to read themselves. here's hoping everyone had a good time.....now, brace yourselves, get some sleep, and get ready for winter.
