I was walking over to my friends place around 1:00 this morning, as I was crossing the street a guy pulled up to the intersection I crossed at and rolled down his window and said "Merry Christmas" to me. I thought that was both cool and weird and felt the need to share.

We had a nice little ice storm for Christmas Eve, which is why I walked to my friends, would have taken a half hour to chop my truck free and it's about a 5-10 minute walk.

Anyways, I hope you and yours are doing well this holiday season. I've got a long day ahead of me of sitting at the movie theatre, plan on seeing Avatar and Sherlock Holmes... maybe a break inbetween for food... if anything is open. Otherwise it's concession stand hotdogs for me.

I had planned to do more christmassy related pictures, but due to crummy weather, maybe getting sick, and my usual and prevalent bouts of depression, I have nothing else done... oh well. Sorry to those couple of you I wanted to involve but I got nothing.

remember, kiriban at 350,000

It's that time of year... when nature does it's best to try and pick off the weak of our species... SNEEZES ARE DEADLY!...

Actually, I feel otherwise fine except for not a sore throat, but sore/weakened muscles in the throat. Which could either be from sickness... or because I was screaming/singing my ass off at a Trews show monday night... man I love that band...

Anyways, remember, kiriban at 350K, if for some reason it happens before 23:59:59 on december 31 2009, I may just expand it to 349,998 through 350,002 gets drawings. Hows that sound?

Like the title says, kiriban at 350,000 page views. What does that mean? That means If you can get a screen shot of you getting the 350,000th page view I will draw you a purty picture of your choosing, whatever your dirty little mind can come up with. Provided it can be posted here of course. Anways, couple of rules:

1. Get 350,000th pageview screen shot.
2. Post screen shot to your dA gallery here (scraps or whatever, once I confirm it it can be deleted)
3. SEND ME A NOTE WITH THE LINK.
4. People who have gotten a kiriban prize from me in the past are not eligible to win. I know I've only done one, so is out of luck.
5. If for some reason no one gets it, I will go with the closest one to it.

Good luck every one.

Ok, so upon waking up jut now (yes I know it's like 2 in the after noon) on a whim I've decided to take the first reasonably good idea someone posts in a comment here and draw it as I see fit.

Think fast and think well. The idea MUST be in a comment here in the journal. No commenting to save a spot and give yourself time to think.

Good luck... force be with you.... live long and prosper... etc etc etc

and it's done.

I again reach the time of year that bothers me more than any other. The time of gift giving is upon us and I as usual have no idea what to get everybody. Don't want to just give them all giftcards, and just giving them art is a cheap cop out.

I dun know what to do.... maybe if I win the lottery between now and christmas I can buy everybody a new car. Yeah. That's my plan. Win the lottery, buy cars. This can't fail. Sure.

Anyways, heres a preemptive Merry Christmas to all those inclined. Also Chanukah and Kwanzaa and whatever else is going on.
