Merry Giftmas
Hello friends, better friends, and strangers! This is my first article with content since November 12th and it brings news of the wonderful presents that I got the other day.

I suppose I'll start off with that. It's been a Christmas Giftmas of large, expensive gifts, so there's not a whole bunch of quantity to report. Instead, quality: on top of the $75 cash and the $30 giftcard to Borders/Waldenbooks, I got a new electric bass quitar and amp, a nice new comfortable chair for the computer, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the Nintendo GameCube and player's guide, a stand for my keyboard (the instrument), a book that I keep forgetting the name (though I believe it has the word "Norris" in its title), and some clothes. Also, my sister got an electric drumset, but apparently all of the instruments are "for the family", so everything's everyone's.... Also, I forgot to mention the two pairs of headphones so that the parental units can't hear the wonderful music we're playing.

Now for the tentative stuff. I'm thinking about having a New Year's party (even though Casey is advising against it). I'm wondering who would be available/want to come. If anyone's interested (only include my out-of-state friends if they plan on actually getting here), let me know by posting a comment, sending an e-mail, or IMing me. I'm just throwing it out there. If I feel there are a sufficient number of people, I'll ask my mom. (I'm wondering what she'll say, though, because she's having a knee operation around that time....) Just please note that, since it's me, there will be no illegal (by law) activity. You have been warned.

The other thing that I was thinking about, and this may be hard to picture, is dying my hair blue. It has nothing to do with anything (I'm still the same person), other than the fact that my hair has a blue-ish tint when it's wet, and I was wondering what it would look like always that color. I would put the blue straight on the brown, no bleaching or anything beforehand. Opinions are welcome.

Now, on the technical front (which is where most of you fall asleep), there is some good news and some bad news regarding CMSform^E. I'll start with the bad news: Milestone 4 (0.0.4) was scheduled to be released November 9th, but has not yet been released, and I don't know when I'll be finished with it. The good news, though, is that Josh has been working on the next release, 0.1.0, throughout this time. This means that, as soon as M4 is released, major work begins on the 0.1.x branch, most of which has been completed. Basically, I just have to write the modules system, touch up the code and whatnot, and then 0.1.0 will be released. Now, I don't know how long of a timeframe after M4, but I'm guessing it'll be less than the usual 4 months (or, in this case, 5 months and counting).

That is all.

Time Now: 12:29 PM

Guy Humor? No More

I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I just lost the only girl I had
If I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
but I can't, so I'll cry instead

"I'll Cry Instead", The Beatles

So... It appears that my female audience is closer in number to my male audience as I originally thought. Therefore, my pathetic attempts at "guy humor" will no longer be available here. (I'm sure you have enough trouble dealing my pathetic attempts at regular humor, anyway....)

So, I apologize to those of you who looked forward to the "guy humor", which was... none of you.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled sigh.
