well, there are still threats of a rolling blackout, but wouldn't that be sort of fun? think about it, in the middle of the day, the power goes out and you don't have to think about that horrendous report for another 90 minutes, of course you would have to have saved it recently not to worry about it. you could go outside and walk around and witness the very belated california leaf change. i keep waiting for the power to go so that i can pretend to be a student again and play in leaves, as there is no snow here. but i am really adoring the christmas gift exchange. i am having fabulous fun making stuff, but in light of my location and the fact that i am indeed making these items, they might be a slight bit delayed, and so, i apologize in advance to my two recipients. but the wait shall be worth it all. anyway, i have no real belle and sebastian content. how am i supposed to learn anything interesting living in the san joaquin valley. i had better luck in connecticut. but i would like to proclaim how much i hate nbc, the american television network, tonight as "ed" was preempted by some stupid election coverage. they seem to believe that none of us predicted that they would settle on just giving it to gw. is anyone else disturbed by the fact that gw's cabinet is going to essentially be his dad's old team? i thought we said no to the texan oil millionaires years ago. and if anyone from "vanity fair" is on the list, i would like to thank you for the december issue, so much jude law that i might be content with just the magazine and stop envying sadie frost. it's a pity no one remembers him in "gattaca." but now i must return to making gifts and trying to figure out how i can get a rolling blackout in my city so that i can enjoy tomorrow. take care. marikka. ===== One woman's 'Titanic' is another woman's 'Love Boat.' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
