a new year note

Wow, I was in quite a fog over the holiday. Sleeping in, lazing about, drinking and huddling on the couch to avoid the cold and rain outside. It was great, mind you, but not especially productive (though I did make some impressive gains in Guitar Hero – and I managed to help nurse a car-stricken kitty back to health). So anyways, happy new year to everyone!

Speaking of Guitar Hero… Leave it to Sony to figure out yet another way to lose money. I tried to connect to the Playstation Online store from my PS3 and it told me I could not connect until I downloaded and installed the latest system update. This is like saying that you can’t get to the iTunes store unless you first install the latest version of iTunes. Duh. Way to make it harder for customers to give you money. Sony really has to let go of their maddening need to control everything.

But then it’s humbling when you spend so much time hating on asstards and then you suddenly find yourself being one. I almost changed lanes into another car this morning. Had it not been for the driver’s attentiveness, I would have smashed my car into his. Humiliating and scary. I really did look and saw noone but he was right there. Funny how the sensorium can simply miss things that are right in your face.

My special lady friend and I are actually thinking of setting up a hateblog for all the fine (but good-natured) hatery we get up to. So much stupidity in the world it’s hard not to be completely entertained by it all!

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’m sure my 3 readers have been on the edge of their seats waiting for my next missive. Sorry to keep you waiting…
