It has to be right.

[twicketface]

LBEric was a no show last night, so instead Marie and I had a delicious supper (sweet and sour noodles followed up by a baked potato and frozen Kit Kat bar) and watched lots of television (SNL, Simpsons, Malcolm, Home Movies). I had seen some of the shows, so I worked on my non-f2f compilation CD. Basically, members of the f2f message board got together and thought it wise to make compilation CDs for someone else based on the theory that if we all like f2f, there is probably more music that we have in common. Anyone have problems with MP3s sounding kinda swimmy (like you're listening to it underwater?) I've noticed the MP3s I download are much lower quality than the ones I rip myself. See, everyone should just buy CDs anyway, but directly from the band.

Anyway, it's Wednesday but with all the benefits of Friday. Nice. I get to wear jeans at work. JonnyV is supposed to be coming over for cribbage and Yoshi tonight, and maybe dinner depending on what time he gets into Oshkosh. Should be nice, I don't spend enough time with Jon. I'm squaring off against him in fantasy football, so hopefully I can emerge victorious and remain on top of the league.

I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving and takes some time to think about what we are all thankful for. Times may be bleak, but we have much to celebrate. Never forget that.
