Or click here to play the MPEG4 (.mp4), which I prefer, for some reason

It’s stupid to complain about it because it is, in fact, winter but DANG it’s cold! And DANG I hate brand names plastered all over my clothing!(those two topics may seem unrelated, but they are not, I assure you)

On another seemingly unrelated (but not) note: I loves me some Play-Doh! Why aren’t more artists working in this medium? It’s easy to sculpt, comes in rad colors, dries quickly and is 89 cents for a four-pack at Target! Kindergarteners don’t know how good they got it!

Or Here for MPEG4/mp4, which I have to say, looks ever so slightly cleaner.

I have a love/hate relationship with the bus. There is nothing worse than schlepping to Port Authority–a little piece of recently renovated hell on Earth– straight out of work first thing in the morning and standing on line in a stink, bleak basement to take a jam-packed three-and-a-half hour bus trip upstate. I hate it. However, as the trip progresses and you pass the seemingly endless sprawl of Paramus the trees get bigger, the towns get smaller and the distance between them grows wider, I start to love it. Three hours seems like nothing when you end up world’s away.I will, however, make 2007 the Year of Learning How to Drive.*

*Note: I have been saying that sine 1993 when I received my first learner’s permit. I’ve been renewing it every five years. But this time I really mean it.

Musical Bits:
Ministry “Reload”, Filth Pig, 1996 Warner Brothers Records
Milton Nacimento “Minas” , Minas, 1976 Water Records
Because these two songs are completely fabulous in totally different ways, just like NYC and Upstate.

Surely I’m not the only person freaked out by this East Coast weather. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful day…but, still…it’s just too, too weird.

When will the computer issues cease? I do not know. But my recently rebuilt Powerbook is NOT behaving. Complicated hi-tech activities such as cutting & pasting seem to be difficult for the poor little thing. Crashes every day. I’m stumped. But 2007 is going to be a booming videoblogging year for me, dammit, and this computer had better start doing its damn job pronto.(it just froze again…I think the silver bastard reads my every thought)
