Yesterday was a normal Sunday: Laundry, games, web surfing, movies – mostly vegetation. So we were in the process of said vegatating, when the Beast began honking in the driveway. Both of us were dressed, more or less, so we grabbed my keys and ran out to see what was going on. Now, the Beast has a factory installed anti-theft thing. It's not super sensitive; you can shake the truck pretty hard and it won't go off. We didn't see anyone around, no damage, nothing suspicious at all. So we shrugged it off and went back inside. A bit later,…

Oh Great Cthulhu! I have been an extremely industrious devotee this year. In August, I made a burnt offering to the Dead Dreamer (100 points). In November, I wore an Elder Sign (-10 points). Last week, I sacrificed icecelt to Cthulhu (500 points). In July, I stopped geodyne from defiling Lovecraft's grave (-20 points). In March, I prepared an ocean voyage to R'lyeh (200 points). When the stars were right, I bombed a cultist gathering (-100 points). In short, I have been very good (670 points) and deserve to get hooked up with one of those cute Innsmouthers. Your humble…

I got an early Giftmas present last night. See, pre-ordered Animal Crossing (DS) for me as a Giftmas present. I do the bookkeeping for the family1, keeping track of bank accounts, credit cards, etc., which means that I get receipts. Around Giftmas and birthdays, he keeps the receipts, but tells me the amount and what card it went on (credit or checking). The amount doesn't matter, because we agree on spending limits before hand. So had gone to GameStop to buy a new controller, and pre-ordered Animal Crossing. He looked at the receipt, and saw the controller, and an item…

The drawback, it seems, to listening to 27 different versions of Carol of the Bells in a row, is that the song will not leave your head. Good thing I like it. Still.

Does anyone know if there's a way to convert Impulse Tracker files to MP3? So far, my googlefu is weak.

My world got a little darker today. I turn on the car radio on my way into work, and am confronted with the horrifying fact that someone made a cover of Professor Dumbledore Richard Harris' MacArthur Park. I have no words – merely an inarticulate scream of horror and despair.

Damn, but can cook a turkey! He's in charge of cooking the turkey, making gravy, and making the bread. (Ok, so we cheat and use a bread maker) I'm in charge of the mashed potatoes, green bean casserole (la la la la I can't hear you, it's good stuff la la la), and carving the turkey. I call it carving, but really, it's just hacking all the meat off. It works. I (heart) my electric knife. Rob played Final Fantasy most of the morning while I slept in. I played .hack most of the afternoon. After dinner we attempted to…

The menu for tomorrow: Turkey Homemade Gravy Garlic Mashed Potatoes Green Bean Casserole (hey, I love the stuff) Cranberry sauce (the canned jelled stuff, because that's what likes. Bleh – it's all his. Homemade Bread – either honey white, or beer bread w/ guinness or fat tire – undecided as yet. Ice Cream for dessert. The plan for tomorrow (other than cooking) is sleeping in, video games, movies and stuff.

Off work for a nice long weekend (more about that later), I just played an hour's worth of .hack, and I've also discovered that I like Guinness beer. Wow. Great start to the holiday!

I just joined Netflix! So, add me to your netflix friends list! jenbooks. gmail.
