...I just haven't had the time, recently. Working 45-50 hours a week can do that, I guess. Which, of course, means I actually have a job; no more hours of game-playing and Linux-compiling for me. Sigh. I liked my other job much better; except for the commute, it was perfect. Oh, and the fact that it's in Houston. And I'm not.

Anyway, that's why there hasn't been any more story recently - expect more soon, though, I'm working on it.

And just in case you thought this was going to be a rantless journal - HA! It's NOT!
Christmas music. Now, I can see why people who work near the store Chritmas display would get tired of the endless renditions of "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" and "Home for the Holidays", not to mention that horrible, tinny, shrieking rendition of "Jingle Bells" that stupid bell-thing plays every five minutes.
However, there are still a LOT of other songs out there, secular and Christian alike. Why does no one PLAY them? Every year, I expect to be singing Christmas music in church, Christmas music at school, and hearing Christmas music on the radio. And you know what? I haven't heard a single Christmas song except the ones I've played on my computer. Oh, and the wonderful songs, "The night Santa went crazy" and "Christmas at Ground Zero", both by Weird Al. They were on Radio KOL, though, so I don't know if they count. The fact that I've heard more Christmas-style melodies from an unhinged internet radio station than anywhere else should mean something...

And every year, I hear people complaining about how they hear song after song, and they can never get away from them; WHERE? WHERE DO YOU HEAR THEM? I WANT TO GO THERE!!! Why is it that I never hear enough, and everyone else hears so many? WHY?!?!
