I think some letters are just way to skippy for tonights celebration. In other news, word is going round that stocks that we hold in our 401k will also be bought by Fedex at an amount that I just cant disclose due to privacy issues that have to abide. Have a great night and I will blog you all next year. Cheers!

My friend was given something similar his girlfriend gave him his own star. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am talking about this girl gave him his own heavenly body, A gaseous mass, a ball of white gobule, something he cant touch but see using certain coordinates. Needless to say, they are no longer together. Be fore-warned for such gifts like a blog just might lead to beakups, divorces, or estranged families. Okay, I would give one to my brother's room-mate. I hate her anyway. But then again she might be ranting all night on it for me giving it to her. Merry Krispmas to Everyone!

Well, its official. Chris Pirillo has spilled the beans about his separation from Gretchen. It is a sad sad weekend for all Gnomies out there and the Geek world altogether. I will surely miss the silly videos Chris makes of his wife. I have been talking to people close to Gretchen and Chris. Heres an excerpt of what one of them is saying: "I'm not sure where the word is getting around about Chris and Gretchen, but it really is their personal life, and I hope people are respecting that. For the record, I have known about it for many months, only because Gretchen is a good friend of mine and she chose to talk to me about it. I hope the rumors aren't spreading too far... it concerns me."
And as for me, I am deeply saddened that there is one less geek with out a model for a companion. Sigh. Okay now on with the holiday cheer. Happy Hannukah! From now until Wednesday there will be Eight Days of the Festival of Lights! Cheers!

UPDATE: Beginning tomorrow goldensushi.net will redirect to this blog at gs.imess.net -- I have been really lax and I'm afraid I have no means of remedying the situation because I am super duper busy.. SO for now, until we come up with a better use for goldensushi.net, it will redirect to this blog.
Thank you for your patience.

Tale of Two Movies
Weird coincidence - I own these two movies, but hadn't seen 1967's The Graduate in 30 years, and had only seen 1973's Heavy Traffic once, when I bought it a couple of years (?) ago.
But it turns out Heavy Traffic is sort of a parallel movie to The Graduate:
Same theme song plays throughout - Scarborough Fair (TG plays Simon and Garfunkel version, HT plays Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66);
Both lead characters are young college-aged men;
Both leads are accused of being virgins, and go to great legths to prove they're not;
Both leads are accused by their parents of drifting aimlessly and doing nothing with their lives; and
Both movies were Rated "X" when they came out - TG later got an "R".
The big contrast is the environment - TG is upper crust and mannered, HT is low rent, crude, and violent. HT's low budget shows, too - only name I recognized besides animator Bakshi was Jamie Farr (TV M*A*S*H's Klinger) - no clue as to which role he played. It's now distributed by Orion, but was first released by the infamous American International studio - the definitive lowbrow source for lousy drive-in fare.
The parallels are subtle enough that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't watched them the same weekend, and even then, I didn't catch it til both movies were over, despite the repeated hearing of Scarborough Fair...

I stay the hell out of stores Thanksgiving weekend. I HATE crowds. Hate em.
Took the granddaughter (Alyssa, 2) out to Kalamazoo (4 1/2 hr drive) to see Great-Grandma (my mom) Friday. Just the three of us, had a great time. Funny, Little Girl must have realized that none of the people she could manipulate with tears and tantrums (i.e., Mommy and Grandma) were around - behaved herself beautifully all day.
