The weather was rather nice last week so I took the bike out a few times. Wednesday after work, Thursday to and from work and thanksgiving and then again on Sunday after giving it a good thorough wash. Seems like its time for my baby to be put to bed for a few months though. Makes me sad to think about but on the other hand its the moderately sane thing to do. While I am not particularly sane, the prospect of riding a motorcycle in a MN winter with mostly bald tires and a whole lot of salt and sand on the road is unappealing to even me. Interesting side not however. Everybody says that the Harley riders are the hardcore riders but since the end of October I have seen 1 Harley on the road and many more metric cruisers. Says something but I aint going to go there.

In regards to Mike’s comment about what thanksgiving was like… Well lets just have me quote myself here:

“What an odd thanksgiving. 5 out of the six cousins 3 with significant others (the three female cousins), my parents, my uncle and his wife and two aunts all on my dads side, and my maternal grandfather. My grandfather had another one of his episodes which kinda put a damper ont eh mood.

The family was highly impressed with my bike, which was fun. Even my aunt the nurse like it (so long as I wear proper safety equipment!). I think my personal highlight was checking one of the pockets on my jacket and having a condom fall out in front of my uncle and cousin. That was good comedy since I think only my cousin noticed.

All in all… odd.

I want to go get drunk.”

That really does about sum up my thanksgiving experience. Even better I went out on thanksgiving day, as is my wont, with a crowd of about 15 of us and, you guessed it, got drunk. William’s/The Peanut Bar (about 70 taps in The Peanut Bar ranging in size from regular mug to litre to pitcher) in uptown. I had two different girls buy me drinks. I am down with that.

In other news, my MP3 player is indeed very sexy and very awesome. Excellent purchase and I am once again pleased with Creative. If anybody out there is looking for one, I highly recommend Creative, they have been great for the most part and I like em a lot. However I recommend Amazon or some other online retailer as I got my player and a 2 year service agreement for less then I would have paid through either Creative or Best buy.

Work is stressful and busy and oh god way to much of it. I have worked Monday through Saturday for the past two weeks. The main advantage I have is that its not always full shifts. And its semi-sporadic. On the other hand, I did work thanksgiving day. That kinda sucked. There is however the matter of bonuses and such and that’s always nice.

In completely unrelated news, I am playing Shadow of the Colossus which is simply Epic. The entire game feels very epic and cool. The difficulty is lacking somewhat however. I am less then 3 hours into the game and I have 6 of the 16 Colossi defeated already. Still a very cool game and I recommend it.

Now some of you might remember that my car was named, at one point, the acceleratron. Ok, probably nobody remembers that since it was years ago and I doubt Money Bitch, Bitch Bitch, or House Bitch reads this or even knows of it. That’s not the point that I am aiming for here however. My car has been having some issues lately. Nothing safety related or endangering to the life of the car. However it has made me realize that its time to start seriously considering a new car. Mind you I am intending to drive my beautiful acceleratron into the ground if possible (that 30 MPG city is just too damn good!) but its consideration time. Currently I am looking at the Scion tC but no guarantees on that one.However if anybody else has any recommendations that would be great. Japanese and >$15k used are my two points at the moment. Also considering a civic and some other cars. Afraid the Maserati is just out of my price range at the moment.

I also have to figure out what to do concerning Christmas. My sister invited us down to Wausau WI but I am not keen on that idea personally. Hard enough to spend 4 hours with my family much less 36 hours. Also have ethical objections to leaving my grandfather alone on Christmas so that’s something else I am considering. He may be demented (in the clinical sense of the word) but he is still family.

I think that about wraps things up in my life at the moment.

*edit* I updated some miscellaneous things around the site. The only thing you might notice is the webcam shit. Its of noticeably lower quality but its much more convenient for just general useage. I will also be boring as sin for most of you. Other then that the “At the moment” page was updated and thats most of everything.
