I was walking home from the train yesterday and there were 5 grade school girls walking towards me. All of them were wearing Oranges and Browns. As we passed they threw a group, "Happy Thanksgiving" at me. I seriously think they were walking around the neighborhood just tossing out the big H.T.

That may be the oddest/greatest adventure ever.

And today, I am the happiest man on the planet. Because little Sally Dumbchild asked me, "Pat, are we going to have a white Thanksgiving this year?" and I said, "I certainly hope not." Then Sally said she was going to kill me if it didn't snow. So here you go, Sally, your wet, snowy, sleety, crappy weathered "White Thanksgiving".

Bitch.

My office is under construction. I think I've mentioned this before. Its why I work in a closet. But, the construction is finishing up this week, so they are slowly moving everything back into the actual office instead of the random area they have shoved everything. This has now hit me where it hurts.

They've moved the coffee pot system.

Its one of the nice ones with the water line directly into the back of it and three different warmers so you can have a pot of regular brewing and a decaf AND regular chilling, err..., warming I guess.

And now, when all I want is more precious, precious coffee, I have to settle for Dew. Dew which makes my teeth hurt. Dew which makes my stomach hurt. Damn me and my chronic addiction to caffiene!!

In other news, I took the red line home last friday. I had been drinking for nine hours. Heavily drinking. It was 1 am when I got on the train. I should be dead.

Long live the king. I am the rule.

Four more years...
...and its all Haji's fault.

Bush is going to win this one. I'm not real pleased by that, but he's got the popular vote and while I don't agree with the majority on this one, I've been shouted down.

And its Haji's fault because he has just won a bet for some cash and four years of crying. Thank's for bringing your gambler's luck into this one Patrick.

On Sunday I went out with Dan and Doug to a show. There was some live Karaoke. There was some terrible lounge act that I kept hoping was a joke. Then there was The Advantage These guys are amazing. Its 8-bit nintendo music being done with an awesome four piece rock set. Its just four dudes who love video game music.

And then, Robots! This was the point of the show and J-Bot and his robot overlords did not dissapoint. With a healthy dose of the "speed food pyramid", constant mockery of my fleshy nature and robots playing their own instruments, this was an entertainment bonanza. Also, the robots were awesome. But I doubt how effective a weight loss plan it is to remove my thighs. Or hands. But I do need to lose the weight, so maybe I will do as the robots command.

Work in Chicago is the best. I'm in a closet and take at least two naps a day. I blame the beige color of everything and the fact that I'm super lazy. It works out real well.

ps don't forget your hate and cheese sandwich. I hear its great with mustard.
