Sorry it's been so long, baby. I know I said I'd call before this, but you know how it is, baby girl. I'm a playa. Playa, playa baby, but you know you always be my #1.

I'm such a dork.

Anyway, I spent the last few days cleaning. A lot. And then I tried to fix my vacuum. A lot. And it sucked (in the metaphorical sense). Again, a lot. But my DVD's are back in order, more or less, and a good portion of my living space is once again presentable to the outside world. I also managed to see "Christmas with the Kranks" (prompting another "what did I ever do to you?" directed at the Hollywood movie making machine) and "Ocean's Twelve." Reviews are forthcoming, but not done at the moment.

I bought me some chocolate milk because I might not be a little kid, but it's right tasty stuff and I'm not apologizing for it. Anyway, it expired on Christmas day. There was something strangely comforting or poetic about that. I'm sure if I think about it, it'll just end up being stupid, but at the moment I'm happy to sit back and think that the fact my consumed chocolate beverage would have died on Christmas from old age.

I'm not a big holiday person, but nonetheless I'm willing to say that Blog entries notwithstanding, Joe-Mammy.com is going to be gearing down until after the big holiday is over and gone. So, the Ray Mileur interview (who I get to meet in person in a week or so--how much ass does that kick?) will be up probably at the front end of '05 as well as some long-awaited bits of Mammy merch including a special surprise that should serve to delight and amuse you all for generations to come.

I've tried to work on polishing lilies of the field but my software currently hates me again. It worked fine for 2-3 days and now decides that apparently I'm unworthy to wield it. In either case, Jan 1 is still looking like a possibility if I can get it up and running properly. Not sure what form I'll make it available in, but if I do decide to get a semi-official package together we're probably looking at Feb for consumption date. If not. Well, if not, Jan 1.

Well, sadly, that's about it for me. More when/if it actually happens...
