Hmph.

I"m writing from my new pretty iBook. So tiny. So much faster. So lovely. Still so carpal tunnel inducing.

Oh, this is total sadness. How will I ever get through the week without my MATHletes?

I am here, but only for a moment.

Still no Internet access from my desk. It's like I'm living in Haiti.

Nothing much to report. I have bought a total of two Christmas presents and zero for the MOC. He's so easy to buy for, though. I just hate not getting him something special, but he'll be happy with books and cds. I may also get him some spa time. Wouldn't it be hilarious to imagine the MOC getting a facial and a massage? Man. He'd love that, though.

I am here! Sooo tired from weekend.

You know, I say I've finished my shopping, but I totally forgot about Vince Chao. Of course, he won't tell me a THING he wants, so maybe he just not get anything.

What did you do this weekend?

Master V and I drove to Austin Saturday for this big shindig Tracy's friend Megan was having. Very much fun.

Vince Chao did karaoke! Y'all should have seen it.

Really? What did he sing? How was his birthday?

He sang a bunch of stuff! I vaguely remember the Beatles, and maybe Willie Nelson. It was funny, because he doesn't really get wild and crazy when he drinks.

Why do we get depressed during Christmas. That seems unfair.
