The Dinner Debate:
M-D: Do you want to go the Americana, or do you want to go to Fridays? Make a decision.
Darren: Well, I’m in the mood for an Angus Burger now. (Although I did have a burger for lunch…)…but I’m in the mood for something else!
M-D: …
Wow. A politician actually doing something useful. Whodathunkit?
Lawmaker: Is CD copy-protection illegal?
And speaking of…let me get this straight. First, Virgin pays over $100 million to sign Mariah Carey to an exclusive contract. Now they’re paying another $50 million just be rid of her??? Is this some kind of sick variation of the “How much do I have to pay you to NOT sing?” joke???

All is quiet on New Year’s Day…
The title pretty much says it all. Today was spent sleeping, relaxing, watching the “Alias” marathon on cable, and generally prepping (mentally) to go back to work tomorrow. Last night was a pretty late night, as I was helping Darren with the load-out at Triumph. The Bedbug Eddie boys played a good show last night, although as Denise is quick to point out, they kinda mangled the lyrics to “Pinch Me”. Overall, a fun way to spend the Eve. Hopefully Darren will be posting some of Ali’s digital photos from last night soon.
This is the time of year when every blogger seems to make some kind of year in review post. Well, I’ll probably post some kind of general wrap-up in the much-neglected “My Two Cents” area, but I don’t intend to go back and pick up the Random Thoughts high and low points. The low points (personal and worldwide) are pretty obvious, and the high points were few and far between. If you’re really intent on seeing what the last year was like, click the Archive link at the bottom of the page.
Every New Year’s, I wonder if the coming year will be better than the one that just past. This year, the question is “how much better will it get?” I mean, could 2002 possibly be worse than 2001?
LET’S GO ORANGE!!!

Tonight, an “underdog” team made a lot of sportswriters eat their words.

Now try and tell me that SU didn’t deserve a better bowl bid.
Your semi-daily reminder of why Joss is the MAN.
I know/
I should go/
But I follow you like a man possessed/
There’s a traitor here beneath my breast/
and it hurts me more than you’ve ever guessed/
If my heart could beat it would break my chest/
But I can see you’re unimpressed/
So leave me be…
Wow. Based on this article, I can’t tell if this movie is going to be incredible (like “T2”) or totally suck ass (like “Independence Day”). I guess time will tell. Assuming Skynet doesn’t obliterate all of us first.

How to turn yourself into a walking sight gag, in 8 easy steps.
1. Go to vending machine, purchase 16oz beverage…say, orange juice. (Preferably the kind without pulp.)
2. Return to your desk. Place bottle on desk.
3. Shake bottle vigorously. Open cap, without removing it. Return bottle to desk.
4. Forget about juice for about 5 minutes.
5. Remember that juice is on your desk. Pick up the bottle.
6. Shake vigorously. Hold expression for approximately 15 seconds after realizing you have just splashed juice on yourself and your computer, alternately.
7. Say “D’oh”.
8. Excuse yourself from your desk (and your hysterical co-workers), find some paper towels, dry self off.
