My espresso machine is in abq already! I guess I won’t be having to wait until the 22nd after all! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

WTF?? A major sonic boom of some kind that shook the house for almost a full second! And I swear i’ve heard a couple small ones since.

Eep! Final Fantasy VIII just hit PSN!!!!

5 years ago today, I disposed of all my drugs, ending over a decade of life-ruining addictions. And 2 years ago today, I watched my dad die.

DAYIM!! Just saw a very cool shooting star in daylight!

A brand news Gaggia Classic will be arriving here (from wholelattelove.com) in a week – my first REAL espresso machine 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

New kitty with sharp claws, unattended for a few minutes + my beloved leather couch = language not fit to print. (Even on the internet!)

On the other hand, it’s getting late and I still had no idea what I was making for dinner tonight! I do now…

After hundreds of times pouting "why don’t we have a kitty? 🙁 ", it is a total delight to watch this adorable fluffy thing poke around.

Kitty is like a search engine spidering the entire house – he will know where every little thing is. If only we could wire in an interface.

@livin4hymn @nurseterra says dental pain is a valid reason to go to hospital ER, prob give her something for the night. and a bill 🙁

Rescuing him for one last Christmas present for Terra http://flic.kr/p/7nDZEC

Kitty likes the sink, I took a pic. RT @NurseTerra: We couldn’t resist we had to pick him up today http://flic.kr/p/7nH7XY

Terra and her new kitty 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/7nEcSp

Riding along with @nurseterra on visits in Cloudcroft, watching Primer on my PSP – this movie SO holds up to many many viewings.

Congratulations!! RT @jennawilde: I am officially MARRIED!

Snuggled under a blanket on the couch with Reese’s Cookies, cream soda, and 1985’s Better Off Dead – it’s a christmas slumber party night 🙂

Finding tempting deals on a Gaggia Baby Class. Concerned about the short steam wand,, but otherwise, it sounds great.

Added a new present for @nurseterra under the tree – little muffled sounds coming from it – sounds a kinda’ like "kupo! kupo!" … weird.

Our Christmas is so pretty 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/7nbp1G

I have really and truly decided – the Gaggia Classic. It’s ugly but can last years if cared for and has decades-long reputation for quality.

(The Baby Class just has a couple unforgivable shortcomings. Neither excel at steam, though, and that’s not a good thing, but still.)

Since this is 3rd xmas all together and i’ve shot lotsa video every year, we’ve decided we’ll watch all those vids while we eat xmas dinner.

.@don_rivers that’s my neck of the woods – any idea what’s up?

RT @don_rivers: Haven’t seen this before. Police roadblock on Indian Wells, Eastbound between White Sands Blvd and Florida Ave #alamogordo

Poor @nurseterra has to work xmas eve, so she is going to miss out on my brother’s family opening their presents via our LR-to-LR video link

The PS3s allow us to have a window into each other’s living rooms so mom can watch her grandkids in Vegas open their presents 🙂

here’s a short phonecam vid from last year’s livingroom-to-livingroom live PS3 video xmas thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxIecFKIEuI

RT @don_rivers: Smooth move! Sonic booms (probably) shatters glass in Tularosa http://www.alamogordonews.com/ci_13947710

So, the kretek situation gets worse – some shipments are being confiscated by customs. Obviously, the sites don’t give refunds for that.

Had to take the ativan they prescribed me at the hospital for the first time today. Very weird effects – a bit confused and hearing things.

And my mind feels odd – the racing thoughts gone but not fully able to focus. And I keep having to think of how to spell some words.

Buuut, it hasn’t diminished my (mild) chest pain/tightness. Just sort of feels like I got hit on the head really hard or something.
