Happy New Year!  I’m browsing the web, waiting for coffee, and I found this neat site, which I will check out …. later :)  24 ways: 2006

It’s been a while since I’ve used Joe’s Goals - my first New Year’s Resolution!

We might have had a mushroom in our bedroom, but we never had bees on our swingset (note:  we don’t have a swingset, but you know what I mean)

Oh Dear Lord! BEEEES!

Frackin’ crazy, man.

Hope everyone in the blogosphere had a fantastic Holiday.  Christmas was good, as Santa was very good to me!

As thought move towards the New Year, one thing that is on my mind is organization.  I have the sneaking suspicion that I could be a SuperStar if I were just more organized.

Surfing took me to this wonderful post, where I downloaded my own Compact Calendar.  This looks promising!  I will definately be using it, glued inside a notebook (or four).

A photoset on flickr, the artist says, “A series of drawings and quotes on napkins put in my daughters’ lunches for jr. high and high school every day over a 5 year period. Read the longer story on the ’set’ page. “

Cool stuff, found it on digg

Who’s psyched for Christmas? You? I sure am!

Yeah!  It’s not that I’m lazy… hehe.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

You may mean well, but living up to your promises may be a source of unending stress for the next few weeks. You are sincere about performing your duties, but they can stand between you and your personal expression. It’s not that you are lazy, but you think life could be so much better if you didn’t have to work. Choose what’s most important, for your responsibilities will prevent you from doing everything you want.

Ever have one of those surfing moments when you find something unusual and want to save it forever?  That’s this post.

I was checking out bloglines.com to see if anything new had sprung up, when a post on the Chuck Palahniuk website about Bass Guitar Players caught my eye.  I immediately replied with Steve Harris from Iron Maiden, and then browsed through the wikipedia entry.  From Wikipedia I read up on Eddie the Head, which brought me to the Derek Riggs website, and there I noticed his book.  Which I need.  Desperately.  Perhaps after Christmas.

Why do you write?  What do you want to get out of it?  An interesting essay:

The Scruffy Dog Review Blog: What Do You Want?

The piece ends with a link to Wordish Wanderings which includes a year in review checklist.  How many people in the blogosphere will write a list of things they want to do, and how many of those will be “Write More”?

I would have thought that Logan would have been ranked higher, but it looks like we’re number five on the list of most expensive airport parking.

I hate Logan. Hate it.  I can’t imagine any non-Bostonian coming to Logan and saying “Gee, what a swell airport”, because, lets face it, with the constant delays, the ‘interesting’ design and the hellish nightmare of figuring out how to get out of there, Logan is a dump. 

Happy Holidays!

I must have this.  I must.  I always think about creating video games, why not create my own board game?  When friends come over we never play video games together….
