given the choice, i would really rather not be a grownup anymore. my wise, and sage, 29 year old advice to you is to stay in school for as long as you can. if necessary, switch majors often, study things you are not particularly interested in, and get incompletes as often as possible without attracting suspicion. this is the key to happiness.

well, i put a new alternator in my car yesterday. now all my radio stations stay where i put them. tomorrow we have actrons onstage for christmas carol.. i think we'll be ready but it will require a certain amount of "dedication" (read: lack of sleep) on the shop staff's part... ewww...

praise sweet jesus for flannel sheets.

last night i finally saw the matrix for the first time. that's a pretty cool movie. i've seen the fx copied in so many other movies but i gotta say that they're cooler in that movie than in any of the copycats.

we also moved nikki into her new apt last night. i want a new apartment. one that i can paint. i like the one i live in now, but i really wish i could paint. damn!

ballyhoo strikes tonight and xmas carol loads in starting tomorrow. this afternoon i'm going in to paint the scrooge bed before strike so i can be slightly less behind.

right now i'm listening to a bootleg of radiohead doing "cinnamon girl". rock out!
