i need a calendar

i'm thinking of making my own calendar for this year.

i guess i could be cool and use some of the better digital pictures i've taken over the years, but that requires a lot of browsing through all 20+ gigs of images I have.

i could always buy one, but it seems silly when you can easily print off a piece of paper with a grid of numbers on it.

i did find this today via Stumble:


click it to see the full calendar, it's pretty cool.

ok. i don't want to talk about calendars any more.

drove down to somerville yesterday morning (in the snowstorm) to meet up with amy and others for brunch at a cool place (johnny d's). unfortunately, the directions i got from google maps were not good enough for the confusing roads of the city, and i ended up getting there an hour late. my french toast was still delicious, though. i learned a lot about driving in the snow, too. don't do it!

since yesterday was her birthday, i gave amy presents. one was a whirley-pop stovetop popcorn kettle thing-a-do, which made awesome popcorn for me to eat too much of. also, i gave her a shiny dell laptop. so amy and i won't be talking much anymore. unless you count sharing links of cool things we found on stumble. or facebook poking. and i guess if you count chatting on gmail as "talking".

leela is whining. we changed her food a week or two ago, and now she poops one extra time in the morning. it's not gross, relax. unless you were thinking about how it smells, or how it feels between your fingers with only a thin, thin layer of market basket plastic bag to protect you. then yeah, it's gross. but it's really more of an annoyance. she goes out every day in the morning at 7am, a chore that amy and i alternate every day. usually she drops a deuce at this time. but since we switched foods, she now requires a second outing at about 8:30, for the exact same reason. it's like the first one never happened. and since amy has a job in the outside world and is not home after 7:30am, I am stuck taking her out at this time every day. i'm in my freakin pajamas leela, C'MON! note that my pajamas are all i wear no matter what time of day it is. also note that pajamas, for me, are composed of the following: either pants or shorts that do not have a zipper, a t shirt with or without a sweatshirt (or two, depending on how much i don't want to turn on the heat), and, perhaps most important, slippers. note on the slippers: leela, in her early pup days, tore a hole in the front of my left slipper, so sometimes my left foot gets colder than my right, and i have to wear socks. she's still whining. i guess i must go.

BRIAN OUT.
