I haven't done any xmas shopping,
waiting on some clients to payup! Grrr!

I might do shopping much later closer to XMas...

I'm just stuck here,
what to get a female friend who's been a close friend for 20 years now - who has pretty much everything (she makes good $). Not romantically involved or any hopes of it ( unless you count in my dreams ).

Was also thinking of making something... but that I donno either. Like put my newly-found vector drawing of humans (see my avatar) to the test and draw her?

My default for everyone I know has been gift certificates for the past few years - that can't say anything good about me! Blah!

Altho I'm tempted in iTunes Music Store Gift Certificates for the two computer people I know (one's the friend mentioned above). But... I donno...

Oh and did I mention I can't spend too much? This has been a bad year for me with surgery and all.

Boy, I'm in trouble!

Well, does she like cartoon art? That'd actually be a good idea, so long as she enjoys that sort of thing.

Well, I've been back from LA for a few hours now, my mom & sister and I went down Thursday to visit the family for Thanksgiving and I had a great time. Good thing my aura knows how to mix drinks.

As for previous topics:

• I'm not sure why my right hand gets cold, the other hand is usually on the keyboard. I don't know what you were thinking...
• I already love OS X, and I wish I could use it only... however, I am stuck in 10.2.8, and until I get 10.3, my computer will be way too slow for me in OS X.
• I have not gone Christmas shopping, nor Hanukah shopping, as of this time. It irks me that the stores have their Christmas stuff in even before Halloween has come.
• Sogni, I've got a good site for you re: dating if you want it, plus I've got some tips for you if you want them. IM me on iChat (I'm "famonymous") if you're interested.

Whew... anyway, did all of the US residents here have a happy Thanksgiving? I sure did...

Thanksgiving is great -- some friends friends had made chocolate rum pie, and boy was it good. We had a giant turkey, and I eat 1+ turkey legs, and never could I eat too much cardamon bread. But I've just been sitting on my *** since last wednesday, I need to go running or something.

[Darkshadow]

Um, what's cardamon bread? Never heard of it.

[mr. k]

A really good bread with cardamon flavoring... It has a soft crust and is very soft and doughy, you roll thin strings (well, one to two inch diameter) and braid them in threes then sprinkle with sugar on top and then cook. At least that's how I think it's done... One of the best breads ever, but it's too sweet for sandwiches.
Yum!

[Darkshadow]

Hmm, thanks. I have never heard of that spice, I'll have to go find some and try it.
