Look closely. The funny is there. I hope these kids grow up to forgive me.

Preparing for the Holidays in the Third Person

It’s no secret that la Vaquera has hit a bit of a rough spot; what with the miserable excuse for aggressive political conviction that was California’s recent special election, a temporary lapse in the integrity of her health, Don Klaiber ignoring her needy entreaties for knitting solidarity at JesusH*, and assorted work woes, it has been long since she has been in good humor, let alone in fine writing form.

However, she has managed to get some holiday knitting done:

So, all in all, she considers November (so far) a

kind of month.

*UPDATE: My goodness, things are looking up already! I was remiss in noticing that Don Klaiber has, indeed, come through on the knitting front! Rah, rah, rah! I therefore upgrade November’s rating to

!

Thanks, Don! And, wowzers, in my excitement I seem to have slipped back into the first person! I’ve been revived!

If the UPS Guy Comes, I’ll Be in the Alley Taking a Leak

I got some wine delivered via UPS last week. If you’re like me, you’ll entertain yourself for a few minutes pondering what set of events might have led to this regulation.

id3 tag editor

So let’s say I’ve got about 10000 mp3s, most of which have fairly good id3 tags but some of which do not. Anyone have any experience with a good Windows-based free or shareware tool that I can use to change bunches of tags with minimal effort? There’s tons of stuff out there, and I’ve played with some of it this week, but I haven’t found anything I really like yet.

Sausage Slings

[via BoingBoing ]
Vizeau prides itself on being “the largest e-tailer of Men’s Designer Swimwear and Activewear.” A perusal of their galleries sends guffaws rippling through my body. Their innovative designs make me strangely nostalgic for the now defunct GayMart. They also make invisible undies. (Warning: Yep, they really are invisible.) I am SO making these for X-mas.

Christmas is Going to the Dogs

Being a little obsessive about music has its drawbacks, but it sure makes Christmas shopping easy.

An Exercise in Conspicuous Consumption

I’ve resisted the urge to buy a new iPod for years, but I succumbed last month and purchased the new 60 gb iPod with video to replace my first generation 10 gb iPodasaurus. After an interminably long wait, it arrived yesterday and I have been incessantly fondling it since. Even clad in plastic cling (my primitive version of the invisible shield), the new iPod’s sexiness is undeniable. Outfitted in a sleek, non-U2-affiliated black and boasting such perks as a generous 2.5″ screen, a humongous storage capacity, a longer battery life, and a svelter frame, I reckon it’ll sate my appetite for shiny new devices for at least a few more years.

iPhet Rev X1, now in color! vs iPhet Rev X0 sans color.

With video too! Here, watching a stellar episode of Jeff’s Music Video/Bass Action Show.

Another screencap from fresh-faced, 19 year old Jeff’s “More civilized” show.

Former police chief Jerry Sanders beat lizardwoman hippy Donna Frye in San Diego’s mayoral election yesterday, and I lost five bucks to pop in the process. Curses!
