“Witches can be right. Giants can be good. You decide what’s right. You decide what’s good.”
Getting ready to head to the airport for my holiday trip to see Joe & Doug for a 5 day NYE vacation. Very exciting! Now… dinner food…?
I honestly can’t stop watching this Zelda Wind Waker theme remake, SO GOOD, SO CUTE! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRv8gnBMiWM
I’m ranked 292 in Chicago Twitters and 49,058 on Twitter in general! http://twitterholic.com/shivian/
Wisteria has Starhawk (solstice) & Dragon Ritual Drummers (fall equinox). Makes me kinda wana go there. PSG local / guests still TBA, sadly.
Zelda Wind Waker Unplugged - perhaps the most amazing song remake I’ve seen in freaking ages - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRv8gnBMiWM
Ensorceled tomes & codices, FTW
I got a super-mini fridge to store my Dr Pepper’s in at work from my cube-neighbor Nina! I’m the luckiest geek at the office right now! :-D
City of Heroes installed on my laptop now too, so I can play when traveling (etc). Hopefully, though, I’ll read instead: likely the Umbris
According to weather.com it’ll be below freezing by 6am tomorrow… oh well, was a nice suprise / day while it lasted! Welcome back Mr Frost
One of my favorite holiday gifts: a 50 degree day that melted all the fracking snow and ice :-) thanks mama nature!
Got “Tree of Enchantment” by Foxwood from Keith for Yuletide. Gave him “How to Speak Icelandic” - it was a nice evening!
Oh my christ, its so nice out! My body is so confused right now… MotherNature MindFuck strikes again!
There are times when I want to throttle my cab drivers for sheer ineptitude. I think that’s why they have the plastic shield…
I caught a purple line home, I think I’m in heaven! Debating if I should take a nap before going out again… hrm… yay weekend time!
No purple line express service today? Really Santa? You sure? Awh… you’re the best! ((palmface))
Riddle: Why is Shivian going into work today? — SuperClue: There is no known proper solution to this puzzle! — A: ???
Yay! Getting to bed stupid late! Huzzah! Not like I have to work tomorrow or anything… oh wait… I do… ((eep!))
“Missing me one place? Search another. I stop somewhere, waiting for you.”
I just broken my glasses (was petting the neighbor dog that was *way* to excited, and jumped up on me) — oops :-D
Drinking Yerba from my new guampa with my bombilla - I’m in heaven!

A very special Christmas Morning… a great way to celebrate the holidays… http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1894873/
Already an “interesting” morning. Wishing the day was ending in minutes rather then many, many, many hours from now. Ugg hardcore.
Potential new copyright law threatening creative works / forcing you to pay for copyright protection - http://zi.ma/abd03c
Stuck on work laptop while my regular computer installs CS3 Premium. Ugg @ the wait… takes sooooo long. Naptime?
Purple Line Trains resume counter-clockwise loop rotation starting next week. I’m overjoyed! 6 less stops to work! Huzzah!
Album: 8-Bit Jesus - perhaps the best holiday collection of our time, download free, share, and donate if you like it! - http://zi.ma/9207a2
Had to buy a space heater to keep my desk warm enough at work to type / expose fingers. What’s next? Bringing in my own toliet? Sink? Chair?
The Christians and the Pagans: great song, great for everyone, every year! Share share share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Xdk4PujOE
From George: “Transported to a surreal world, a girl kills the first woman she meets. Joining three strangers, she sets out to kill again.”
Holy balls in a hat! Meebo (meebo.com) now connects you to Myspace and Facebook chat! Meebo FTW!
“I like winter” they say. “Cold and snow are great” they say. I hate you all. Winter FTL.
Heroes Oz reference in final episode: Daphne = Dorthy; Parkman = Lion; Hiro = Scarecrow; Ando = Tin Man?
New 1TB external drive (thanks mom!) as a replacement for the dying external 500GB drive. Hoping I can transfer the data off before it dies.
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry / Lwaxana Troi / the LCARS voice, has passed away. I mourn this loss of a geek legend.
Oh yeah ((grin)) and I titled it “Veritas Intus Lux” - perhaps I’ll release it for production to close friends if it’s a hit, dono yet…
Made Mom a photobook for Yule, hope she likes it. I couldn’t think of a single freaking thing she’d like… but I think she’ll love this!
New Chicago City Motto: “Snow shovel?! What are those?! Never heard of em!”
On my way home finally. Have been knee-deep in a sears.com project that’s VERY exciting! Looking forward to it testing soon! YAY! Naptime!

Updating the Euterpe (iPod / Music Library) with lots of new albums from various artists. VERY excited! Can’t wait to start to listen! YUM!
Heroes: what the frack! Last night’s episode was really good, so why were the past 2 episodes before it the worst ever?
Someone’s playing an old, Old, OLD school gameboy on the train (first generation) - I’m fascinated! In other news %$#@ing COLD!
