(EDIT: "naht" = "not")

Have I been under a rock over the past few years, or did Christmas decorations start exceptionally early this year?  As in, there's no more Thanksgiving anymore.  We go straight from Halloween to Christmas now, and stores don't even bother putting up fall or Thanksgiving stuff.
It's all in the name of selling more products: Christmas is much more marketable than Thanksgiving, thanks in no small part to the fact that the only thing people do for Christmas is give and get stuff.  I despise it.  Sorry if I offend you by saying I hate what Christmas represents in America, but I see way to much commercialism and corporate interest in a holiday that's supposed to be about love, family, and, if you have it, faith.  What the hell's the point anymore?
Don't get me confused: I think that gifts can certainly hold a lot of meaning and can be very cherished between people.  But buying people stuff for the sake of getting them something, regardless of if whether it holds meaning or not, is completely contrary to anything the Christmas season should mean.

new mewithoutYou is insanely good. to me, it's better than either of their other two. the lyrics are just as provoking as any he's ever written. i love it.

new album leaf is great, too. not too exploratory, but he does a good job of making everything he does pretty.

Is "Decline to state" a legal thing, or does it just mean I don't want to be judged by my skin color? As of right now, 1 out of 1 application has that marked.

Yeah, Zach, Quick Launch bar rules.

I'm glad we're going down to eight instead of up to 12, where there was the likelyhood of adding hundreds of others.

Last.fm still isn't working for me.  It's been three days.
I've downloaded the iTunes plugin and restarted the program, and it says "Scrobbling enabled," but nothing's shown up as being listened to yet.

suggestions?

google's quotes of the day are always good

if you ever need a book or cd... check amazon's used stuff first.  candide starting at $0.40, owen meany starting at $0.87...
I was a picky shopper (bought from CA vendors only, "Like New" condition only) and still got both books (and a few CDs, also) for very good prices.

meeting tomorrow (friday 7/21) at Ryan's house at 2:00 to start the video.  so we're going to need all the stuff.  either post it if possible, or find a way to get it to me or to Ryan.

I also have two tickets to graduation.
Message me or call me if you want them.
