This and That

It's been one of those weeks. As you can see from the utter dearth of decent posts recently. Busy I have been, and pre-occupied by many things. Year-end billables filled my mind, as did birthdays, holidays, and general social obligations.

Sleep as well, stole away the muse-filled minutes, washing away all sense of inspiration.
Very few of the last two-dozen nights have been spent at home, let alone in front of the computer, although so much has happened.

I mean no less than two long-lost names have crept back into the conscious collection. Mark, for one, of the "shark" variety, has surfaced without warning within the always surprising world of myspace. Pro-vampire? anti vampire, I really can't figure it out, but howdy to Mark and welcome to the Lounge.

And then, a day later, here comes Mike, of the first-year Willamette roommate variety. Most folks thought we were a "couple" for the longest time. I'm not sure about me, but I know for certain Mike wasn't the least bit gay. I'll always appreciate the 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning shots of Bourbon and the minute-by-minute updates on the latest Washington State cougars game... Go Cougs!

What a sad trick of fate to strap Mike with a non-sports fan like me for a roommate. Still and all, I'm very pleased that he popped up. Welcome, Mike, to the Lounge!

Then there was New Years. I uh, went to a party. And that, really, is all I'm prepared to say about that.

And then, at the risk of sounding completely unlike myself, mentioning not one but two football teams in a single blog: Holy Jesus! Did you see the Fiesta Bowl?? Mrs. G&T's sister and her husband are big fans of BSU, so I watched the game in support of the family's interests. But good god, I mean, DID YOU SEE THE GAME??? Congratulations to all of the various and sundry readers in Boise specifically, and Idaho in general. You all know who you are...

Well, that's what's been on my mind. Not really Blog material, oh, but, maybe the the Camera could have been. The new camera. You can say I have been a bit obsessed. Preoccupied perhaps. Insanely Hopped, more like it. Rolercoaster ups and downs, more research invested in the purchase than I did for my third-year lawschool thesis. It was a hefty purchase to be sure, with consumer-centered pitfalls and the old bait-and-switch grift. Alas, the purchase has finallybeen made, the object ordered from a reliable retailer, it is finally en route.

Now, maybe, I will get some sleep.
