I hope everybody had a wonderful thanksgiving, mine was pretty 
nice.  I got to see a lot of family, eat massive amounts of good 
food, and I even saw a few friends. 

Work is going well.  I don't feel like doing any at the moment;
 thus the group e-mail, but don't feel like I love y'all any 
less b/c I'm doing this as a distraction ;) 

My private life is actually more interesting.  I got a "Language 
30: Japanese" set from the library Wednesday, and listened to it 
all the way up to TC and most of the way back.  After the 5th 
hour it was too aggivating and I had to turn it off!  I don't 
think I'm going to really learn much Japanese, but at least I'll 
have a better understanding of the Anime I watch.  I'm trying to 
pick up some cultural things as I go. 

Speaking of watching Anime, John left his Cowboy Be-bop DVD at 
my house, and i got the DVD player out and rarin' to go last 
night.  I also have 5 free DVD certificates left, so if anyone 
wants to come over and watch movies, let me know (OK, all 4 of 
you that are local).  OK, I take that back - If you're willing 
to drive here, you're welcome to drop by and watch videos even
if you're NOT local, nyah! 

I'm still crocheting like a madman - my grandmother asked me to
 make her an afghan for Christmas (Shh, it's a secret!) I'm 
actually trying to do it.  I think I might get it done on time,
if I CONTINUE crocheting like a madman.  But it does get 
boring... 

I might not have mentioned this last time, buut my bedroom is 
geting more hospitable: I have a desk now, so the computer is 
properly set up, and the nightstand is serving its proper use.  
I even have a lamp for it!  I also brought my lava lamp back 
from TC, so my room is feelin' groovy!  I have a big rug that 
covers 80% of the floor, so my feet stay toasty in the morning 
when I hop out of bed.  I bought Nag Champa inscense, the one & 
only, so my room smells good too. 

The fish are doing well, things with the roommates are doing 
well, all-in-all life is good.

P.s. Anybody have any rental suggestions for those DVD 
certificates?  I'm thinking of renting Gladiator, but that 
leaves me with 4 others open...
