You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have…sorry. Somehow that wound up stuck in my head. But I’ve had a bit of both lately.
The bad:
- General stress, sleep deprivation, frustration and some socially awkward situations.
- Five visits to the Apple store in one week, at a mall during holiday shopping season, in an attempt to get my powerbook’s optical drive replaced.
- The Har Mar movie theater is now closed. Truly the end of an era. So maybe it wasn’t the best theater around, but it had sentimental value for me. I remember seeing the first Star Wars movies there with my family, as well as Back to the Future and other 80s classics. And hello, coolest bathrooms around. Sigh.
- Too many events happening at the same time and having to pick and choose which to attend (I missed out on a friend’s vegan potluck, The Dears at the Fine Line, and a rollergirls bout).
- The little man’s renewed interest in Legos. Stepping on them barefoot is a killer.
- I need a haircut. Badly.
- Some more specifics that I won’t go into, but can be dumped into the first bucket (see: general stress). Yeah.
The good:
- I love Clockwork. This year’s rumpus was a seriously good time. Big ups to my coworkers for making it happen, and to my friends for joining us.
- Seeing The Ex at the Triple Rock.
- The little man’s renewed interest in Legos. It really is fun (until someone gets hurt) and I do take his art direction well.
- Low’s annual Christmas show. Yes, I’ve seen them a million times but it was another opportunity to hear some of the new stuff (which I heard a bit of a few months ago) before the new release comes out in March.
- After getting everything straightened out and dropping off the powerbook, the Apple store had it fixed and ready to go in under 12 hours.
- It’ll be totally ridiculous but fun if I start hooping with friends (at our YWCA).
- Friday night’s BSG episode was so good it made me cry.

The loss of those fabulous mod bathroom pods is a tragedy!
Aw, I remember going to the Har Mar on my first visit to the Cities. We saw … Spawn.
flickr.comDear massdistraction,
I’ve been attempting to get in touch with you over your flickr account because as, I’ve left a message there, a bit of a ’shameless request’ that’s becoming a bit embarrasing for me to ask, but if you could indulge me…
I saw a few of your photos of glowsticks, and I had used a couple of them to play around with, and create a few Forum headers for a guild in a private server of the game Ragnarok Online. Before I do use them, I’d like to know if you can give me permission to do so ? At the moment, all I’ve really done is crop them, stretch them here and there, amplify a few colours and added a little title which is the guild’s name - we are named the “Glowstick Tribunal” if it helps you to understand why we were browsing for pictures of glowsticks. This is one of the pictures I would like to use : http://www.flickr.com/photos/49503124519@N01/9676184/in/set-78047#comment72157594414386497
So if you could, I would appreciate a yes or no - either way. And i’m also open to if you have any conditions. You can reach me by my email : Junjunpei@gmail.com , which I check frequently, and is reliable enough.
I am SO jealous you got to see Low for Christmas! Isn’t “Just Like Christmas” the best holiday ever?
