525,600 is only applicable in non-leap years

Come December 6th, it's on.

I got to see Rent with Jennie this week. I was really impressed. With the possible exception of some really weird backdrops in what was supposed to be Santa Fe, and a lack of homeless dancers, it was an all-around good time. The box office is looking more and more enticing this season. I might actually go to more than one movie in this three-month span. Aeon Flux is in a gorgeous and tantalizingly bizarre world. Rent, Walk the Line, Narnia, and the new Harry Potter movie are all on my list too. I'm not as wholly absorbed into the mythos and love lives of Weasleys at large as some people, but then, they're not as tied in to Middle-Earth as I am either.

November is almost over. The dramae continues, and the new anger mixes with old smoldering rage. December will have a lot to heal.

According to papers that we won't see for another however-many years, Bush wants to blow just about everyone up. I'm not going to contend that Al-Jazeera is an unbiased form of journalism, but that can't possibly be justification to kill them. Should the 700 Club be as concerned? Should the World Socialist Website?

After fixing a laptop for an old-connected friend, I got myself a big scoop of X-masy goodness in the form of more Christmas music to complement Nathan's anti-Christmas album. There's nothing that quite expresses the joy of the season like Run-DMC making rhymes with the word "nog." In a more heart-growing-three-sizes sense, though, Leila, Patrick, and I curled up to have the first Grinching of the season. I later gave myself the first Charlie Browning of same. Does it speak poorly to my sense of adulthood that I still get a little misty-eyed every time Linus takes the stage?

Got a computer off of eBay to replace the one from earlier this month that had a sad IDE controller. Along with that, I upped the amount of RAM that server prime has all the way to 320MB. Historically, it takes about a day for it to settle into its new configuration before I see any performance improvements.

Fun for all that children call their favorite time of year.

I thought Prime was a little more spry then usual...

What are our odds of winning the auction on The Matrix of Leadership?

Oh, and I've been watching Billy Witchdoctor for the last month, because Torrents rule. Actually, do you know what we should do? We should make a Billy Witchdoctor theme for your blog. And when I say we, I mean me, because you're lame. Yes, this is the best idea I've ever had.

14 more hours and 54 minutes the month of November will officially be over. I think we need to celebrate the end of this terrible terrible month tonight, Billly. Because I hate November, but I sure don't hate you. It's partytime. :)

would you like to know how Aeon Flux has been alphanumerically ruined? four little characters... PG13. i was so very disapointed. and did i gather that there is an auction of the AMoL? who in this situation is Magnus and who is Hot Rod? the intended leader and the worthless usurper?

oh, and i have found another battle that you can work into common speach. "We have not met our Waterloo, Watson, but this is our Marengo, for it begins in defeat and ends in victory."

That's ALL I get?! NINE words?! I'm posting more in the comment then you wrote about me, I think we need to talk about this seriously before I get offended and cry... I'm a little disappointed in you, Mr. Lieurance. You should be praising my conversation skillz and movie choice. Oh! Oh no! Here come the tears... you need to hurry cause it's seriously gonna be the flood of all floods here, I'm thinking of billing you for the damage...

wow, i haven't been referred to in a LONG time in his posts. and when i do, it's normally about a sentence or two MAX. i guess we're supposed to gauge how much Billy likes us by how much he says about us in his blog. oh, and for everyone, SARCASM is one of my favorite styles of comedy.
