Christmas treated me pretty well — a Line 6 GuitarPort, and a bunch of books, including Chuck Palahniuk’s new book Lullaby, Umberto Eco’s new book Baudolino, a beautiful HC, slipcased Lord of the Rings trilogy, and an equally beautiful HC, slipcased The Hobbit. Plus some Best Buy GC’s which I …
All right, although I haven’t caught up with getting all my pictures of Evie uploaded, there are a bunch of them in the site now. The unfortunate part is that I have to build pages for them, since the Mac server where this page is sitting doesn’t automatically deliver index …
