Let's Go Away For a While / You And I / To a Strange and Distant Land.

I came into work this morning with my fears confirmed: it seemed all my clients were waiting in ambush. Ugh. If I can just make it through the next few days, I'll be okay.

My Christmas was nice. I got to hang out with Ericka a lot, which was really nice. I read a lot of books (re-read the Abyss, the Fortunate Fall, the Peace War).

I gave a lot of books for Christmas. I gave Ericka the cyberpunk starter kit: Neuromancer, Snowcrash, & a Deepness in the Sky. I gave Jesse the beginners cyberpunk kit with Neuromancer & Ender's Game. And I gave Joe A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Now I'm reading (also by Dave Eggers) You Shall Know Our Velocity! Man, he comes up with really great titles!

Speaking of titles, I named the Merediths song about screaming the Wilhelm after the famous movie scream.

I got a number of CDs that've been out for nearly ten years: the Cranberries No Need to Argue, the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack, and Rachel's Handwriting LP. Does this somehow indicate that I'm stuck in the early 90's?
