You just have to realize how busy life can get. Besides, we already have another web project that takes up any free time we have. I can't just spend all my time bullshittin' about going to the ___ or the ___. There's life to live, and life waits for no one. Life just keeps moving. So you better move your ass, too, or life will move on past you, and the next thing you know you're thinking of diving off cliffs and stuff--and not into the water.

No, this is not a cry for help. Help is beyond. We're already in the thick of it--we're in, we've gone way up the river, there's no turning back now--and we're strong and certain and going to do our best, even if it kills us. You may not hear from us for awhile, but we may check in now and again. Keep listening to the music, since that seems to be our focus at the moment (when it comes to free time). And yes, check back here--even as I type this, I realize how fun it is to blog here. So check back from time to time. And email, or comment (click the link below).

An evil thing happened on the way home from dropping the girl off at work today. I found myself in Peet's, drinking a cup of Fair Trade and poring over the paper, scanning the Fry's Electronics pullout for the Black Friday deals. I wasn't really planning on visiting Fry's, but I was drawn to this ad for an Nvidia graphics card that could be had for a mere $15 (after rebates). Now, I've never had a decent graphics card, so the Devil was really dealin' a good hand...

Next thing I know I'm in line at Fry's. The line is weaving throughout the store, snaking from aisle to aisle. Am I really going to buy this? I'm asking myself, knowing perfectly well the card requires a Pentium 3 or Celeron computer, neither of which I'm currently in possession of. Still, I'm thinking, I do need that TORX screwdriver hanging there in the Tools aisle I'm entering...

So I stay in line, and make the purchase. Along with an 80GB Hitachi hard drive. (But hey, that drive'll be free after rebates!) And some photo paper. (Also free! And the girl can use them!).

Feeling guilty, I made this recording immediately after exiting that electronics store that should display over its entrance, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here". So tell me, after listening to the recording - am I evil? (And yes, that is flatulence.)
