The toaster oven that Denny gave us had a short life. After I nuked the metal insert plate, we decided it must go.

It's that time of the year. The blissful lull right before finals begin. I have one good week before it becomes awful, then becomes awesome again. For Christmas, I want a big piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

What a good Thanksgiving Break. I know that Jean will complain that there wasn't any stuffing at our Thanksgiving, but I don't care. I hate stuffing. I'm kind've glad it wasn't there, just so I wasn't obligated to take a dallop.

Anything I forgot?

The new generation of console wars started today with the XBOX 360 launching. For a mere $600, you can get a bundle of entertainment that will last well after Christmas. Is it odd that I don't really like Microsoft or the XBOX, but now that I see they're practically sold out until 2006 I want one REALLY bad? I guess it's true that you only want what you can't have.

I've finally made over $10,000 in one year. Somebody applaud that. Next year I'm shooting for $100,000. We'll just keep going up by the powers of 10.

Thanksgiving is inching closer and Christmas is just around the bend. I can't flippin' wait for Thanksgiving. I'm gonna eat soooo much pie.

All I'm really asking for is a chance to prove that money can't buy happiness.

You know what I was just thinking? About 21 years and 9 months ago, Jean's parents were totally doing it. And not just regular doing it, doing it enough to make twins.

Hott. The extra 't' is for emphasis.

Happy Birthday to the lady of my life. You're outstanding in every way, shape and form. Except Mario Kart, in which I still rock your world.

Hahaha.

Last night was... crazy. I'm looking forward to our next AKPsi exchange in the spring.

If you didn't know they were singing, you'd think Mark just killed a puppy.

As it turns out, the amount of bugs on the floor in my room was a far greater amount than even I could have suspected. Half of them were still alive when I tried to throw them away. Ah... squalor.

Why won't this Aqua Teen freak of a 14 year old get the hint that I do NOT need a freshman yaking at me about her hair dye job? Does ignoring people not work anymore?

I like Kanye West. As egocentric as he may seem to be, his music is catchy and he's a genuinely classy guy. Check out this quote from somebody who went to his concert.

"I went to the Kanye West concert last week. My favorite part was during Gold Digger, in an effort to get the audience to sing along, when he announced, "“White people, this is your only chance to say [the N word]. Take advantage."

That's good stuff.

I was very, very close to buying a dog this weekend. It loved me.. I could tell... The cats were okay, I guess. Except the one that jumped onto my shoulders and then just clawed in. I think I'm gonna try and find the one in Des Moines so I can visit some puppies every weekend.

It was so nice to be in Jean's apartment where it was warm. I think it's colder in the house than it is outside.

That was the quickest $350 I ever spent. I mean, once I found the place. Of course it takes 2-4 weeks to get it in from the store in Denver. I wouldn't have expected any less.

By Thanksgiving I'll be sleeping on a *real* bed!

Also, I just realized that the last time a pic of me was posted on here was well over 5 months ago. So I'll go ahead and say hello.
