Check out the Google Year In Review. An amazingly nerdy snapshot of what people were looking for last year. Please note, this is only what people were looking for in text searches, which is why "peace of mind" and "a president who doesn't use isolationism and bravado to alieante the rest of the world" don't show up.

In-Flight Fun!
ME: Hey, I think I'm in that window seat.
FAT GUY IN AISLE SEAT: Oh, great, you mean I have to get up?
ME: Well, either that or I sit on your lap.

I just played the Dean for America Online Game It's cute, and idealistic, if in the end a little pointless. Sort of like his canidacy!
I wanted to pay the "George W. Bush For America" game but I couldn't get past the no-bid contract process to join.

The FBI has issued a warning to watch out for people with Almanacs. Apparently, they could be used to plan deadly attacks, or even worse, figure out the average rainfall of Zaire. For the record, I'm dead set against any form of literary profiling.

There is an FBI agent whose job it is to come up with catchy nicknames for bank robbers. Don't we have lame internet quizzes that can do that for free?

Super-Genius Art or Super-Sappy Listener?
A reminder before I begin: I have been, in the past few weeks, on a whirlwind tour that's taken me across nine time zones, two seperate christmas mornings, planes, trains, busses and boats, and gladhanding opportunities to catch up with relatives whose names I barely remember. In short, I'm tired. Damn tired.
But nevertheless, I put on the Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Vs. The Pink Robots" DVD that I got as part of our annual swapping of commercial goods. This is an album I've listened to hundreds of time, the only difference this time was the 5.1 surround sound, the video element, and the aforementioned exhaustion.
But when "Do You Realize?" came on, and I was singing along gamely from the floor of my father's living room, tears welled in my eyes. I choked them back down, and it happened again. Surrounded by music, spending days and hours with people I loved, it got a little too much to handle. I barely made it through the end of the song.
So, I could be a wuss. Okay, no question, I am. But it's also a damn good song, and I'm realizing in little ways, I lead a damn lucky life.
Happy new years to my friends and family. I love you all lots.

Somebody just left me a comment that said "Penis. Penis Penis Penis."
That person, whomever they may be, is the postmodern poet genius of the 21st century.
