Confess the first two things you bought from Amazon.



The latter first -- it was a required text for an art class I took at Washtenaw.

The former -- why the hell that book? All I can remember is somebody mentioning how awesome Amazon was and looking for something to buy to test it out. Again, why the hell that book? I have no idea. I recall reading a couple of chapters and then tossing it aside. Also note that with shipping it cost $9.54; more than rolling down to Barnes and Noble would have. (Not sure if Super-Saver Shipping existed at that time.)

Happy birthday to the Julie -- hey, it's on the same day as last year.

Greatest Christmas Song Ever: Christmas in Hollis

Merry Christmas!

I didn't read anything in November? What the hell was I doing? Waiting for vacation, I guess. At least last month I could have posted about the crap I read in October, which still has not been done. I'd declare it National Apathy Month, but I just don't feel like it.

Is purple a Halloween color?

Why is purple a Halloween color?

So the Julie and I went to Sushi Nara, billed at Michigan's ONLY (or maybe by now 1st) conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. It works exactly how you'd figure -- plates of sushi roll by your table and you pluck what you want from it. First a little sign rolls by with the name and the type of roll, and then the small covered plate o' sushi. It's full of variety, reasonably priced, and was pretty tasty on top of being fairly amusing.

Behold, the greatest sushi roll evar!

Happy birthday to the Julie!

"BILLY!"
