1 more day that phil and michelle stay up here... and i'm not even too sure that it's gonna be at least a 8 hr AWAKE period... nevertheless, we did do a few things up here... like fix my car... hang around together at the valley fair... should've done more... like, i wanted to play ball w/phil... i can't remember the last time we played 1 on 1; it's just been such a long time... well, we did play nba 2k together... i whooped him:
warriors > lakers
celtics > hornets
twolves > blazers
kings > blazers
then we play nfl 2k together, and since i haven't really played that game, he whups me pretty badly: green bay > niners, 23-3
(i should order replacement dc controllers; both of ours are shot to hell)

conan's just way too funny; i've gotta quote(paraphrasing what i can't remember) what he said about Lord of the Rings 3:
"it made over a quarter of a billion dollars (audience whoops)... yea i know; in fact, the lines were so jam packed outside that the police had to use GIRLS to keep everyone in order (he then proceeds to act like a nerd who's never seen a girl's cleavage before)"

i kinda wanna write more, but i wanna get the most outta tomorrow xmas day, so i'll just end with this comic strip i have on my wall at home:

ever remember mallard fillmore? this was a comic of a male duck that just sorta wasn't too funny. however, he did post some good stuff every easter and xmas, reminding everyone what it was all about... remember el nino? ykno, the warm ocean current that was gonna screw our weather and blast everything to hell?

bald guy: when it's over with, how much do you think this "el nino's" gonna shake up the world?

mallard: not that much...
...compared to the first el nino...

the 3rd frame reads:
"For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the LORD"
Luke 2:12

merry christmas everyone and God bless; i'm out...

man, only 2 more days that phil and michelle get to stay up here w/me...

plus side of being a spare-time songwriter, but not currently being on a worship team:
-i get to work with the drop db tuning a LOT more w/o worrying about retuning the guitar(still want another electric guitar for this purpose, and still want a delay pedal, but i understand phil's not the richest person in the world, and has to worry about parenting about 5 months later, so i'll have to think about solving this one on my own[btw, it's gonna be a boy]):

C#, G#, C#(octave higher), F#, Bb, Fb

hope to have the song finished completely by break's end...

btw... can you believe just how much ppl suck up to vince carter? it's like when kobe stopped being constant on the top 10 of the week, that ppl HAAAVE to suck up to him now...
