Ah...Ice Age. A quality movie, that. They really pulled a smart move in that one. When casting the part of the annoying sidekick, they chose John Leguizamo, who is actually annoying in real life. Brilliant move. Ah, who am I kidding? Sid is a great character. Too bad he sucked in Romeo & Juliet. Leguizamo, that is. Not Sid. Sid would have been hilarious in R & J.
Anyway, Ice Age. Remember yesterday when I was complaining about the amount of ice falling in Des Moines? Yeah, I shouldn't have said anything. Because it got FREAKING WORSE. I fear that we will enter into a new ice age. But not everyone, just Des Moines. And we won't be able to leave and no one else will care enough to rescue us. And that would suck, because I have VERY little food here. I mean, I've got my laptop and my iPod and I'm looking right at an unopened 10-pack of Double A batteries, which won't do any good in powering either of those first two things. Those things are all fun, but they don't taste very good.
Especially the batteries. Trust me on this one.
So uh...hey, if I never see you again...bye. It's possible that I'm being overdramatic about this whole thing, but I doubt it.

Woah Tim. Woah. I don't know what you think you're trying to do here. But I won't let you hurt me again. Here you are, trying to walk back into my blog life as if nothing happened and... and... And I just can't take the Lies anymore! You left us out in the cold for 2 weeks with no word. And then like "Wham Bam Thank you Ma'am Sam" you deliver two back to back posts. Are you going to be regular or aren't you? Don't lead me on thinking I'm going to getting posts from you again, just so you can bail and crush my dreams. I just want to hear you say it'll be different this time.
Whatever Rob, I'm totally back in the swing of things. You know it and you love it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there it is.
I knew it would be no more than two blog posts after Christmas before Tim ever-so-subtly mentions his new ipod. I actually expected it to be the first, but he's stronger than I thought.
bravo, my friend, and welcome to the wonderful world that is apple.
Oh, and welcome back to Iowa. Apparently, God has decided to celebrate your return with 6 solid inches of ice on the roads.
Keri, is that you? Are you trapped in your house? It's like the barren fields of freaking Siberia around here. I totally bit it on some steps yesterday. No one told me that basically everything on the roof drains right onto the front steps of Justin and Andy's house, making them into a veritable deathtrap. Only a few scratches though. Could've been a lot worse, but I'm nimble like a cat.
Yeah, I have an iPod. I plug it into my car adapter, drive to work, take it inside, put it into its docking bay, which is connected to my company-provided computer speakers, and continue right where I left off. It's the sweetest thing ever.
I also just bought the Return of the King computer game. It's super sweet AND it's multiplayer. And someone just bought himself a gamepad. So if you ever feel like controlling Legolas's every move...I know you hate video games, but I thought you might make an exception in this case. An obsessive, borderline stalker-like exception.
Meanwhile it's a balmy 64 degrees in Springfield, Illinois. And I'm wearing shorts and rollerblading with MY new iPod. And mine's a 40 gig. And I ordered (7 sets of) headphones from Japan. I win!
But seriously it isn't a contest, it's just People Who Are Cool (iPod owners) vs. Everyone Else (Third World Countries, the Red States, etc). Enjoy with your little Ice Age, with any luck the furry Cavewoman bikini will come back into fashion and you'll get to enjoy that show too.
So kick back, mix some tracks and think of how awesome I am.

Yeah, it's me. Sorry I forgot to sign it earlier.
No, I'm not trapped in my house. My road is horrible though, so most times there's no reason to go out worth risking the drive. Other than work, of course. So yes, I have been more or less trapped in my house every night watching movies and complaining about the state of the world (Ice Storms, Tsunamis, mudslides, and the People's Choice Awards).
The only thing that makes life worth living is, of course, my ipod. And my laptop. AND the soundsystem I just inherited for my laptop, which also hooks up nicely to my ipod.
See I'm more brazen than you are Tim. I listen to my ipod with the HEADPHONES while I'm at work. Yeah, I'm a rebel like that.
Oh, and I don't think the Western Front is going to be here tomorrow. Just so you know.
woops, forgot to sign that one too....
here you go:
~Keri
Yeah, I was going to ask if you were going to see your boys in the Front. But the show isn't until Saturday, according to their newsletter and the Vaudeville Mews website. So uh...maybe they will.
You shut up about your weather, Scott. Either shut up or give me one of your pairs of headphones.
Oh yeah... haha.. I... knew that.
Actually, in December he said it would be tomorrow, but I checked online and it.... isn't tomorrow. Never occured to me to check another date.
