so it seems that my northeast corridor hobknobbing took my low grade cough and made it a full blown cold. yesterday, whilst on conference calls, i hade the mute on and a box of tissues strapped to my hip. but last night, like an annual rite of passage, i sipped from the magic plastic shot glass and ingested the sweet elxir of happiness–the nyquil (cherry flavor–alot of people hate the original green jagermeister flavor, personally, i don’t mind it).  so like everyone else that has ever walked down this fateful path, i ran to the bedroom to make sure that i got into bed before the that shit hit my system. ah cold medicine bliss. apart from henry flipping out b/c some hoodlums were in the street talking hoodlum talk at hoodlum volume, it was a restful night’s sleep. god bless that shit. and good bless the fine folks at richardson’s vicks that keep that shit on the selves, even if it is highly addictive.

NEWS FLASH:

so for 2+ weeks now, i have been printing wirelessly to the superprinter. sounds cool huh? well give the fact that the printer is litteraly within reach, it was sort of a waste to buy a 100 dollar print server–right? see the plan had been to get the server so natty could use it as well. see she uses the desktop up in the office–so for 2 weeks i could print and i could figure out why, after setting the desktop up on the ‘exact’ same manner, should couldn’t print…well this morn in did a couple more checks..and people keep this in mind, if you fat finger the IP addess, well then you print jobs will never get to the printer. 192.198…sheesh what was i thinking? so now it works. thank the nyquil gods for small victories.

so tomorrow is the US thanksgiving, a holiday created to celebrate gluttony and waste–something on the order of 50 trillion turkeys have been slaughtered in preparation (ok not 50 trillion), millions of gallons of gas will be consumed as people sit in traffic to get to the houses of family members they’d really rather not see. family disputes will erupt over old squabbles and dry over cooked turkey. ah america, we do tradition right…don’t we?

the most important thing about thanksgiving is that it is the official start of christmas, which is a time of great consumerism and joy, no wait consumeristic joy. don’t worry, i have no rant, i love xmas, i love the over commericalization, i love buying, i love spending i love getting shit. i love sales, i love the pushing love the swearing, i love the hating. i love the fact that people put on 18 layers of clothing b/c it’s 55 degrees outside and then have to carry all of said layers around the 93 degree mall with them. oh yes there are a few of my most favorite things.  just 24 short hours and it all begins anew. 

merry thanxgiving.
