Blah

4 months. 4 months since I have had even the slightest inclination to post anything here. Maybe its because you can only say the exact same thing so many ways before you just...stop.

Did I finally find employment since December 2007? Yes. Am I still a wretched individual trying to pretend that I am a functional human being? Yes. Am I still depressed and wishing I could find at least one small shred of a redeemable quality in myself that could actually be of some value to another? Yes again.

Guess that just about sums it up then.

I just fucking love being me.

Christmas

After all the gift giving, visiting, eating and time with relatives, Christmas is officially over for another year thank god. I've learned a great deal this holiday season, including:

• A 125lb body can eat roughly double its weight in turkey without dying.
• My slightly hearing-impaired son can still manage to learn two guitar chords and write songs at the drop of a hat, including such future hits as I'm Better Than My Sister.
• Its nice to visit, and its even better to leave and go home.
• You don't need to receive $500 worth of presents to have a great Christmas, and that free time to do absolutely nothing is the best present ever.
  
• If you have a materialistic 10 year old, you really can purchase their love and admiration.
• Christmas Eve is not a good time to make a 3 hour drive on any 400 Series highways, and that other drivers are apparently afraid to go the speed limit or get out of the goddamn way for those of us without this fear.
  

Technorati Favorites

I came across this very handy little program in my internet travels. Basically, it sits on your desktop and whenever you run it, it runs through everyone who has favorited you on Technorati and favorites them back.

I have been running it daily and it picks up new ones I've missed every time. After all, if someone has favorited you it is only fair to return the favor!
