The last time I was single for Christmas was 2001. The last time before that was 1998. So if the pattern holds, next Christmas will be more cheery. Or maybe I should just buckle up for the next 3-year cycle. My personal life could use some more whiplashing. Whee.

Just saying this, you know, in case anyone wonders why I've been so grinch-like lately.

Maybe Chris is right.

I remember joking last year to my Mom that I was with a new girl pretty much every Christmas. My mom's reaction was funny. She kind rolled her eyes and said: “Believe me, I've noticed.” Or something along those lines.

Well not this time.

Merry effin Christmas, everybody.

I need to watch Swingers again.

Ok, I'm done whining. Since I have all this free time this holiday season… coming up soon: a long article on setting up a series of smart playlists in iTunes to provide a very good mix of music. It works for me, anyway.|||110391756660578224|||Holiday Whining
