merry christmas dudez!

momz r funny too:
Dear Robyn:
I hear that my daughter is up baking cookies in an altered consciousness. Do be careful with all that, my sweet.

which is funny for many reasons but partly b/c look who's talking, mom. (also, next time i see my brother he is getting a punch for passing on that info.)

i frosted the cookies this morning! in neon colours! (b/c i bought neon food colouring - why get regular when there is neon??) but frosting is maybe the most frustrating substance in the universe, sent from the planet frustror to make me hate cookies. but whatever, not only do my cookies taste good but they're like a tribute to new wave + sofia coppola's marie antoinette.

Mom: Ooh, this one says it has interactive menus.
Me: They all do, mom.
*after a crazy few minutes, gets "Animusic" dvd going, cgi robots play corny casio beats
Mom: How do they build those machines and then get them to play music?! Isn't that amazing?
Me: Mommmmmm, they're not real! It was all done WITH COMPUTERS.

also, finally interviewed my grandpa on tape today. Turns out he was in the Battles of Midway and Coral Seas, which I never knew. Whenever he'd promoted to Electrician 2rd Class, he would inevitably do something dumb and get demoted again. Something dumb would usually involve drunken adventures while ashore at Perth or various other ports in western australia. He described the members of the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy as "good guys." The only black sailor aboard his sub was usually a mess boy.

And I just got a call that my flight tomorrow to the cincinnati hub has been canceled. Great.

The lady gave birth to you and made you pancakes and this is the thanks she gets? Sheesh!

I am deleting lots of really old backups. It is taking many hours. Still more than 300k files left.

*this* is the app store, it's where you get apps. app is short for application

Drove 25 miles roundtrip to the parents' house to hold the power button down on their tv for five seconds.

Parent's purchase of a new laptop earlier this year has surprisingly reduced the amount of IT support I'm called upon to do.
