Hey, even though there's a lot of us who are Canadian, Korean, Portuguese, British, Texan or whatever, I still wish you all a happy thanksgiving.
You know, since the turkey's in the oven and I've already been into the brandy.
With the holidays coming up and this thread putting me in a rare happy and giving spirit, I've got a modest proposal. How about a 9622 secret Santa/Satan/Hannukah Harry/Kwanzaa Keith gift swap? I'll even offer to admin it. Any thoughts?
GRRRRR... now there are EXTRA line breaks in all the archives.
But new entries should be OK from now on.
As usual, I made a big problem out of a little problem. I ended up doing a fresh install of MovableType.
For all you posters out there, there's a new address: instead of 9622.net/admin you want to go to 9622.net/mt.
Let me know if you have any questions or see any problems.
Also: I MET MR_CRASH_DAVIS AND YOU DIDN'T! (well, most of you didn't anyway...)
I've upgraded the site to MT 2.64
Also, I DO plan to attend the meetup in Boston tomorrow, so I encourage anyone who's in the area to show up. Details here.
It's all very well to have brothers and sisters. But sometimes they can be deeply embarrassing. Here is Natalie Wood's sister, Lana, to start us off. Where are the John Waits, the Ben Cohens, the Lucille Chomskys, the Tom Thurmans?
He's suave, he's phat, he's debonair,
He wears red socks without a care,
We almost missed it but we wouldn't dare!
It's Kafkaesque's anniversaire!

Thoughts? Critiques? Petty bitching? Wild acclamation? Equatorial mistiness?
In the December Esquire, one of their lists suggests that at 21, everyone gets their own personal theme song to be played when they enter bars.
What's yours?
Swap time! Time to affirm or deny, my brothers and sisters - in, or out?
So far? ana, arto, eyeballkid, fes, jasntmason, valerie (tape is GOOOOOD!) and vers. So? Discounting Miguel's all-too-typical last-minute mea culpa, that leaves 10 silent monkeys. Say it! Say "I have a Master, Fes! SAY IT!!!"
I gotta know. I gotta know by Tuesday night. There's still time. Those who remained silent initially? A simple raised hand, a sallow smoke in the distance, a whisper into a fist and puffed into the breeze, may suffice.
